The Progress of Debate
As We Grow Older
Easter Vacation begins tomorrow ! Happy thought that sets us a whirl. It means home and homefriends and happy times and rest from work. No wonder we are glad, not because we aren't happy working at school, but—why explain? The greatest home coming times in the year are Easter and Christmas, our Christian holy seasons. In this nation of ours where less than half the people are members of the Christian churches, all are affected by our sacred celebrations, consciously or not. There is a horde who have so desecrated the names that they have called Thanksgiving synonymous with football, Christmas with exchange of gifts, Easter with the flourish of new clothes. We flaunt these notions before their faces as pagan sacrilege, in righteous indignation that the most beautiful possessions we have should be even tainted by a shallow mob. We are glad that we can observe F.aster in our own familiar churches, where somehow it seems easier to sense the reverent atmosphere. We will be glad to hear the music rise, rejoicing on the day of days in memory of the event which is the foundation of the greatest force on earth the Christian faith. We will worship and praise and be glad. New hope wil lbe born again this Eastertide, for we shall hear again id' the miracle of new life through love.

SENIOR THOUGHTS ON LAST TERM IN COLLEGE Scarcely a day has passed this term than an ambitious senior has not been seen rushing to the post office to mail applications. How hopefully and yet fearfully she turns from the mailbox with a sigh of relief and perhaps regret! All of us are happy that we are nearing the goal which we have striven to attain for four years, but with this happiness is mingled a feeling of sadness at departing from our classmates, friends and Alma Mater. We realize that graduation means not only parting but also new responsibilities. However, most of us are eager to assume these responsibilities which almost unconsciously we have cncircled with dreams of happiness and success 1 As we enter upon this last term of our school life ,we feel more deeply the spirit which Dr. Jarman and the faculty have imparted to us, that of doing one's best in little as well as big things and of serving freely and willingly.
RESURRECTION "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these—it might have been." These words run through our minds, as we emerge from the depths of trunk and despair to survey a, once —"nice dress." We try it on. At last we realize that not only times, but people change. Maybe the once prized possession fits and maybe—oh horrors! it splits. What might have been a cool spring dress becomes the foundation for a rag rug. Yes, Spring has indeed come, and the girls are sorting over the relics in their trunks to find something cool—in the way of dresses—for the coming months.
