EDITORIAL
Let's Keep It Quia!
The other day we came across a
-tateinent in a famous national
magazine that really set us back
on our heels. The author, a fain
ous gentleman, referred to teen
' aged girl- a- the "young ladies
who are currently passing through
the r adole. (em e a. noisily and
untidily a- possible." Ouch!
Whether you agree with him or
not depend on which ,-ide you're
on, the in-ide or the out-ide When
you're one of a group and you are
having fun, you don't notice it if
the voice- hit high C. But when
you are on the outside listening
in, and your ear drums are the
one- that are taking the beating,
you under.-tand what the gentle-
man is talking about.
Not that any one of us keeps
the volume control turned on full
all the time. Individual and oc-
casional blasts from each of us
add up to a general noisy picture
you know, "little drops of water
and little grains of sand . . ."
I hat'.- why just as many individ-
ual tuning- down are in order.
You and the boys and girls of
your crowd will laugh at and en-
joy the gal who clowns around,
who shrieks w secrack- across the
lunchroom, and behaves like a per-
petual wild life of the party. But

when the boys do their Saturduy
night dating, chances are they
choose more ladylike femmes.
Sometimes individual loudness
gets hidden in a crowd; that is,
you feel that all noise is forgiven
because everybody's making it.
Such reasoning goes over all right
if you're at a private party, ont in
the open spares at a picnic, or at
a game where everybody is literal-
ly yelling. But in public places
good taste demands that you be
as inconspicuous as possible.
Talking is not the only thing to
be watched. Giggles and loud
laughing should be checked, too. A
charming laugh can be one of your
advertisements. Let your merri-
ment be natural, and it will ring
fair and sound.
You don't have to crawl into a
corner and be a quiet little mouse
whom nobody notices. Take the
middle way between being that
repressed person and the loud in-
dividual whom nobody can help
but notice and always with glares
and grimaces. You want to at-
tract attention, but the right kind.
If you are all the things you want
to be, you're bound to get the kind
of attention you want.
It isn't an easy overnight job,
learning to make the sound effects
a fitting complement to the smooth
picture of you that you want to
create. It takes patience and
practice. But by learning always
to keep your voice on a pleasant
pitch, you add another plus to your
personality rating.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Sure 'n every native-born Irish-
man understands the significance
of March 17—St. Patrick's feast
day, because St. Patrick's day be-
longs to Ireland.
Maewyn Sucat was born about
3K7 A. I). of a patrician family liv.
ing in the Homan town of Wales.
He was later given the name of
Patricius. The adventurous lad
was captured by pirates at the age
of Hi and was sold as a slave. He
soon found himself in the land of
Antrim in Ireland where he be-
came a swineherd. During his six
years here he was inspired to try
to free these people from pagan-
ism and convert them to Chris-
tians. Guided by a vision, he fin-
ally became free and secured pas-
sage home. He was now about 22
and he went to Tours, France, and
studied in the church with a firm
determination to help the people
(if Ireland. His life work was in-
| terrupted by a second capture and
; slavery, but after two months he
j was freed and returned to his
I studies and became priest, bishop,
and statesman. The Pope Celes-
tine at last sent him to Ireland
where Saint Patrick was coolly
received at first. It is said, how-
ever, that "though there were no
Christians when he arrived, there
were no pagans when he left."
During the time he spent in
Ireland, he established 205
churches, schools, and one or two
colleges. One of the best known
legends about him is the story of
his charming all the venomous
snakes in Ireland and leading them
into the ocean where they drown-
ed.
The shamrock is a symbol of
St. Patrick's Day because he used
it to -how that the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost are as one, even
a- three leaves grow on one stalk.
So sacred is the shamrock to Kire
that it, is used in the coat-of arms.
Today, St. Patrick's Day is cel-
ebrated by all Irish people as the
commemoration of the death of
St. Patrick, beloved hero of Ire-
land. It has been said that for 12
days following his death, the sun
never went down.
