Forgive and Forget
15>
L
(Juite recently after a ball game
we found our pleasure and exeite-
' ment over winning turned to anger
by a very prejudiced aewtunt of the
game in one of the papers. To put
it mildly we were angry and justly
so. Our coach received a letter from
the .coach of the opposing team stat-
ing that the writeup did not express
the sentiment that team felt toward
us. We of course were glad to know
ttys Jjut still we felt that a rank in-
justice had been done us.
Then came a letter from the of-
f? lading reporter which was a sincere
•apology. You know it takes a hig
man to see his mistake and try. t«
make amends. All of us make mis-
takes which often hurt others as well
as ouraelves^ift^l a human weakness,
and we canno®®^do that mistake but
we can try to make it right.
The most disagreeable people on
earth are those who refuse to accept
an apology and call things even. The
happiest are those who really and
truly forgive and forget. Don't cher-
ish a gnjdge against anyone and
i never harbor ill-will against those,
who strive to rectify and are sin.
eerely sorry for their mistakes.
So let's be fair and good sports
and accept this apology and forgive
and forget! " ,» " " *

Go To Sunday School
The dormitory percentage record
shows that the T. W. C. girls are
not attending Sunday school very
well. "Dormitories that had from 80
to 90 per cent of their girls attend-
ing Sunday school every Sunday a
few months ago,'1 have dropped to
about 50 per cent.
What has'caused this decrease?
Most of us would rather go to
church than to" the Executive Board,
hence many girls are seen in church
who never appear at Sunday school.
'* Since there is no law requiring at-
tendance at Sunday school it is easy
to get in the habit of staying in bed
late Sunday morning and fooling
around until it is too late to go.
|f you have been missing Sunday
school lately, make a new start Sun-
day. You are missing something
worthwhile for yourself and you aie
lowering the average attendance of
your class. Perhaps you are the one
who is holding back your clash in the
race to Waxaliachie.

Each in Her Own Place
Seats have been recently assigned
in Chapel and each student is ex-
pected to be in her own place. If
you are not in your assigned seat
you will be marked absent and be
given a cut.
Likewise each girl in the dining
room is expected jMfteat at the place
that has been assigned to her. If
you move to another table to eat
with your chum or your roommate
you are taking someone's place and
she will have-to move. Half a dozen
people may be inconvenient by this
one thoughtless act.
Perhaps you have been assigned to
a table with a group of girls that
you do not know. This is your op-
portunity to become acquainted with
different girls, which is the main
purpose in changing tables,
Maybe the "girl that sits n*xt to
• you it the table would be your best
friend if you just knew her better.

"In the spring a yopng man's fan-
cy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
How,, true this may be. with soni^
foiks, but even those who are not
sentimentally inclined are
by the spring days. Thoughts of the
old swimming hole, the cool shade of
the old oak tree, and the calm splash
of the oars on the cool moonlit wa-
ter; crowd out the idea of declension
of nouns, and the tense of .verbs.
An open Spanish book has been for-
gotten.
Patches of green have appeared
on the campus, the smell of spring
is "in the air., rtke birefs are brushing
up their feathers and twittering their
sweetest noteg to some fair lady bird.
But .still little Molly sits—.dreaming
dreams. "Ninety-five days till school
is out," she sighs. Day dreaming,
the coweal, tragic, ever popular
spring disease. A something in its
mild sense to be cultivated, a some-
thing which jiwrsued to larger "degrees
saps the strength, lowers the grades,
and hinders progress.
Ho\v great it is to be imaginative,
to be able to visualize things and see
_them as they will be. . It is truly life.
What a perfect gift is day dreaming,
the half brother to imaginations. JBpt.
like all other good things, it is dan-
gerous in certain circumstances whety"
ulio necjds to be, bu§ines8-lik'e and
level headed. .
During spare moments you belong
to yourself—do your day dreaming
then. But have it always at your
coufttiand and in .your Control, so,
when you are called to do something
really beneficial for your school,
friends or self, you are ready.
Such is day dreaming, a symptom
of approaching spring as sure as
spring hats in .January.

I -never wrote a poem,

But this one thing I'll tell you now
The fish, they sho' got stung.

They took their i'ltlg out to the pole

Expecting every wise old Soph

They thought they held the upper

All night the wee fish snored;
At one their leader called for help.
They peacefully ignored.
Next jnorn they woke, and filled \^ith
glee.
