EDITORIAL
These last few weeks have made
us all feel sure that, at last, spring
is truly here . And whether you
know it or not, it's done something
to you. You don't any longer dread
walking to school--in fact you look
forwaxd to seeing the progress of
the buds on the trees, and you keep
w:ttching the gras~ get greener
every day. Besides this, you have
an unco*~trollable urge to sing for
joy, and to make everyone else
aware of the fun of living. In fact,
if you only knew it, you are entire-
iy a different person from your
winter self. You have, in a sense,
some out of hibernation.
This power that spring-time has
over you, if put to work can do you
lots of good. You know that a
waterfall is merely a thing of ,beau-
ty until it is harnessed and chang-
ed into electrical power Then it
can do the work of many men. It
ia this way with the feeling that
spring gives you. It is very neces-
sary now for all of you to have new
zest and energy in order to finish
the school year with a bang.
Turn back again to the illustra-
tion of the waterfall. You know
that sometimes, in order to change
these natural beauties into working
electrical plants, the beauty of the
waterfall is destroyed by unsightly
buildings and smoke. This is nol
desirable; therefore when you are
harnessing your "spring powers"
you must be careful not to lesson
in any way the beauty and enjoy-
meat that you are meant to get out
of the spring-season Let's make
a "work harder on spring power"
campaign !
