It couldn't have been more peace ful if I'd had my feet in a cast. Not that we didn't love it. We always thought that our bed and we were made for each other. The summer month only served to prove it. Lazy afternoons were spent sprawled strategically be tween seven electric fans a bottle of pop close at hand, reading "Forever Amber." (This time we concentrated on the plot. By the way, did anyone ever find one?) Ah, what a life! We went nuts the first week, but after that it didn't seem to matter. Sanity is an optional matter in the summer anyway. Who minds being in a nit as long as it's a nice com fortable rut lined with pillows and dime novels. Summer Education. We did improve our mind. We learned that Helen Trent is find ing life as exciting at thirty-eight as she did at sixteen. We don't want to seem cynical or anything, but perhaps she had buck teeth and crossed eyes as a girl and had them corrected just before this sudden burst of popularity. "Life begins at thirty-five" isn't an un pleasant thought. We're getting on in years ourself. So far it hasn't been all thrills. We also learned that L'l Abner married a dress maker's dummy and didn't know the difference, and all about what was considered fraternization in occupied Germany and what wasn't. Finally we came to the conclusion that practically any thing goes as long as you don't talk. Words are rather super fluous most of the time anyway. We were going to read some good books, too, but discovered that Coeds Organize 'Hespcria,9 Society or Independents M. With Billie Smith as president and Dean Verna Boyles as B.R. sponsor, Hesperia, a group of un affiliated coeds on campus, has been newly organized. The purpose 6f this organiza tion is to promote culture, create more social activities for the un affiliated girls, and encourage higher scholastic standing. . The meetings will be held every Monday night following a dinner at Ellen Smith halL At present the membership has grown to 23 active members. Many social events are being planned for the coming year. Officers for the coming year are Billie Smith, president; Pearl Doyle, vice president; Jackie Eagleton, secretary, and Margaret Hansen, treasurer.

We settled for "The Saint" and were so in spired we tried to rob the bank. The windows stuck, though. Major " Disappointments. Of course, there are always those major disappointments, even in the summertime. It took three weeks to get readjusted after we learned that Van Johnson bleached his hair and was bowlegged, and that Tom Drake had grown tired of waiting and had married a blonde. But life must go on. Be sides, we never heard of bow legs ruining an otherwise heaven ly union. Being able to raid the icebox at midnight does add calories. A steady diet of "Cosmopolitan" and "Esquire" may encourage the brain to remain in active, and soli tude perhaps loses some of its flavor after six weks, but, after all in all, it wasn't bad. Some of our youth and sentimentality were rekindled when we caught the high school set meeting on their bicycles along our elm shaded driveway. Somehow they always forgot their means of transportation, and we had to re turn them in the morning. At least it was good exercise . Sorry? Yes. it was nice. But are we sorry that autumn is aerain unon us7 uoesn t it seem rather Dleas ant to fight for tables at the Pike again, gripe about the food, worry about men, struggle over 500 word themes, and work geometric puzzles? Are we sorry we've left that tranquil haven where the nights are so still thev Dracticallv shout to return to this gay life of laughter and tears, activity and education? You're durned right we are!
