BAND AND ORCHESTRA INTEREST
The suggestion made by President Baxter Tuesday morning in regard
to the band and the orchestra should be taken seriously by directors and
Tilnvnra nlilftf
Such musical groups as these have important places to fill in the
nKiSviuVa nf n nnllefrn. A band not onlv is important as a medium to
engender pep at athletic contests but it is an excellent form of advertis-
ing for ii college.
An orchestra plays a more important part in the latter role than in
the former. The amount of good it does in advertising can not be esti-
mated. The band and orchestra of Abilene Christian college arc not taken
as seriously by those engaged in that work as they should be. One may
say that it is because they do not receive the support of tho student body.
When the students see that those who have these musical organizations in
charge aro doing everything in their power to give Abilene Christian -college
a band and orchestra which they will be proud to have represent
them they will give their support.
For the past several years the orchestra has made at least one and
some years several trips. On these trips it has played before several
thousand people and has spread the "name of Abilene Christian college.
The band has done some excellent work this year but it has not been as
important a factor as it should have been.
With just a little more effort on the part of those connected with
the band and orchestra A. C. C. can have two musical organizations of
which it will be proud.

WHICH ONE WERE YOU? -
Two young men were taking a walk near a certain western city. One
"yoTIhg man saw only tho alkali flats the ugly sage-brush and the dry
parched sand. Ho felt only the uncomfortable morning heat and the
fatigue of the walk. He heard only the buzz of the flies and gnats. He
smelled only the unpleasant odor of n nearby stock-yard.
The other young man looked beyond the drab desert nt his feet. He
saw the distant mountain peaks rosy-hued in the morning sunlight; he
saw tho glorious blue of the western sky. He felt the joy and exhilira-
tion of just being alive; he felt the pulsations of his blood respond to
deep breaths of the invigorating air. He heard tho twitter of the desert
birds and the rustic of the morning wind in the sage-brush. He smelled
the sweet fragrance of the flowing yucca.
Two students on a rainy day walked across the campus of a
Texas college. One student saw only the mud and the rain. He felt only
the cold and discomfort. He heard only the thud of the falling raindrops.
He smelled only the unpleasant odor of his wet woolen clothing. He was
wet and cold and miserable.
The other student saw only the glory of the sun breaking through the
rain clouds. He felt the warmth
heard happy voices of laughter.
to the rain punned air. He was wet but not cold and unhappy.
You were one of those students. Which one were you? Can you rise
above your surroundings? Can you look to the sun-lit peaks beyond?

TENDING TO ONE'S OWN BUSINESS
One afternoon two small boys were walking home from school at
tho close of their first week in an institution of learning. One of tho
young fellows knew something that the other youngster wanted to know.
The one who wanted to know quizzed the other boy till they had nearly
reached their homes.
Finally the first boy growing tired of so much questioning said
"You needn't ask me I'm not going to tell you cause it don't 'contern'
you."
Too many of us pry into matters and try to learn things that do not
concern us. Too many people spend too much of their time meddling in
other people's business.
If more people would take the advice of the little boy and try less to
learn about things that do not "contern" them school life would be far
more pleasant Uian it is.

asserted that in addition to attract-

hennaed their hair when they were

to run his fingers through his hair
and remembered that he was bald-

Soveral students were astounded

since they only shine at night.

This Is a beautiful Sunday after-
noon' and tho people aro taking ad-
vantogeof tho pretty weather to walk
and drive along Riverside Drive. This
is a beautiful drive which winds along
tho Hudson for miles with a row of
apartment houses on the other side.
I can sco the cars and people from
my room as I write and a fow mo-
ments ago I counted tho cars as ihoy
drove by. They average over 00 per.
minute so you have some idea as to
the number. I am told that thero aro
many moro during tho summer
months. I hardly know where thoy
can find a place on tho Drive.
I can also see the now bridge which
is nearing completion at 108th street.
It is the longest swinging bridge in
tho world. It has recently been nam-
ed tho Washington Memorial Bridge.
Looking down tho river I can sco
the largo ferry boats crossing tho
Hudson .from 125th street to tho Jer-
sey side. A boat leaves each side of
the river every fow minutes. One
Sunday night as I was returning
from tho Jersey side in my car I had
to wait in line for at least' an hour
before I could get on the boat. Tho
lino of cars was at least a mile in
length.
Occasionally a pleasure boat can lie
seen going up or down the river and
if it were not Sunday several freight-
ers and barges could be seen near the
middlo of the river usually going
down stream to port I notice that
thero are landing docks just above us
about ten blocks. These however
nre small and for .small boats. The
largo docks are down near the mouth
of tho river.
As the readers of tho Optimist
no doubt know nearly every one in
New York City lives in an apartment
house. Apartments can bo rented
either furnished or unfurnished but
most of them are unfurnished. The
apartments havo from one room with
kitchenette to as many rooms as one
might desire. Most apartments are
from three to five and six rooms. I
do not know how many apartments
are in the house where we live but
I should think there are about forty.
It is not a large house. Some of tho

School Days (Modern Version)
School days school days dear old
golden rule days
Reading and sleeping and eating
much
Sparking and yelling and studying
hush
We sat through the prof's discourse
And slept without a single remorse
In lecture you snored next to me
When we were a couplo of flunks.
Sing a song of expense
Pockets full of dough
Got a bill from the office
Watch my money go.

I have not so much as spokon to an-

since wo have been here. The only
timo you see them- or hear them is
when thoy aro coming or leaving.- A

an adjacent apartment with a family
for soven years and last week was tho
first time site had over spoken to
them. They had gone up and down

other place in tho world -where there

OPEN FORUM
It s'oenu that tho "wonderful
family spirit!' which used to exist in
A .C. C. has:most graciously departe-
d. Behind It wo find a most critical
group' of beings who at times do not
oven appear human.
In tho mad rush cach.day to meet
individual duties wo forget to be de-
contlyjfricndly to the Btudcnts as a
whole. Instead wo mako clowns of
.ourselves trying to '!go over" as wo
call it If wo aren't in that class
wo aro in a gang who hibernates and
positively refuses in a most incon-
genial manner to be saparated under
any condition.
- Most schools are not "clubbed" to
death as in A. C. C. and most school
clubs are -backed i by the students at
large and certainly by the faculty.
Here we find a student's association
which has been practically ruined be-
cause of tho rivalry of a few clubs.
In various institutions of learning
wo find tho school ready help to
forward and develop a band. A sur-
vey is made for band members every
yoar just as the school is on the look-
out for football players. Tho band
members are given credit for their
work and aro encouraged to continue
it On the other hand what credit
is an A. C. C. boy given for playing
in the band? Exactly this: His or-
ganization is criticized to the degree
that all .interest is ruined and sinco
not ono bit of credit or recognition is
given the band and its members just
who wants to put in a lot ot time and
enrgy hard work in other words
on a thing that is so publicly con
demned publicly now nob even prl
vatoly.
That's just the way in our school as
it is in other places if you don't do
things you have a one-track mind
and are uninterested; if you do try
to do things you are "run down" so
to speak and are said to be trying to
"run things."
' If a school wants a good band or any
other good activity some time and
money have to be spent and by all
means be backed and encouraged by
the faculty.
Agreeing with somo dear writer
the best way to escape criticism is to:
"Do nothing
Say nothing
Be nothing"

must have two or more husbands.
"What would you say to your host-
ess after jumping to your feet and

ing a formal luncheon. Read this
marvelous book and learn what Irv-.
