I have heard these questions and many others'lately on the campus and also from supporters of the college in the town. Students and townspeople alike supported wrestling; the attendance verified this. I know a man from Bloomsburg who hurried to finish his work early on the afternoons the mat men performed. If this infan t in our sport world received support like this, why should wrestling be stopped? Some say we have no funds, no equipment, and no coach. If the team struggled along for three years previou s, they should be able—and glad—to manage again. ; Others say , "Look at the record. The wrestling team hasn't won much." Gi ve 'em a chance. Last year was.the first year that wrestling was considered a varsity sport. Some of their opponents have had wrestling on the schedule for years. I can mention other teams which haven't compiled such an impressive record , and nobody says anything about removing those teams. Maybe the equipment isn 't so good , but it's good enough to use until the new gymnasium is opened, and new equipment supplied. Maybe there is no coach on the campus , but Coach Horner f rom Shamokin drove here three times a week during the wrestling season for two years; probably he would be willing to do the same again, Wrestling should not be stopped until the school's ship comes in. A few years' lay-off will undo everything thnt has been accomplished. Let's try to gel wrestling back again; inter-mural wrestling would be better than no wrestling at all. As a member of last year's wrestling team I can say for the other members of the team that wo would like to hnve wrestling, and that we would do our best if we had the chance. If you like to watch wrestli ng, can't you help us so that we can wrestle for you? R. O. THOUGHT Oil DREAM Before my eyes have grown, too dim I hope to see our brand new gym.

I SOME FACTS ABOUT OUR CALENDAR I -»- Member .. ^. { — ¦ . ¦ ¦ , , . . . , .— .., ' - . "— . . ¦ - i — ¦ • I. - I . '— — — . —— .-y OST OF US know little about the history of the highly useful calenM dars hanging on the walls of our homes, offices , schools, and practically all political , social , and educa tional institutions. We accept our calen dar as a matter of course and seldom if ever pause to think of its interesting history. How little do we think how this present system of measuring time came into general acceptance—these years, t hese mon ths , days and weeks. The word "calendar " comes from the Roman "Kalends," which was the first day of the month. The month came to be used as a unit of time when a«cient farmers noticed that the moon made twelve revolutions in one year. This year was the length of time the earth required to revolve around the sun. It was found that the moon took 29 xh days for one revolutions. The Babylonians, putting twelve of these 29-day months together, thereby established a 354 day year. With such a year their festivities occurred at odd season s, and consequen tly a month was added from time to time. Egyptians came pearer to the length of a solar year by making a month thirty days in length. To this 360 day year were added five holidays, set aside for the worship of five Egyptian gods. Thus the year became 365 days in length. The Egyptian calendar lagged behind the sun and behind the yearly floods of the Nile Kiver. But the Egyptians who had an accurate knowledge of the correct length for a year are believed to have adjuste d their calendar accordingly. The Mayan civilization in Mexico and Guatemala created a year with eighteen groups of twenty days each and added five nameless days in order to obtain a 365 day year. A twenty-ton stone calendar built by the Mayans may be found at Mexico City's National Museum. This calendar shows that the Mayans had considerable knowledge of astronomy. The Julian Calendar was created by an Egyptian at the order of Julius Caesar. Prior to this calendar an inadequate system was used, whereby a week or a festival day were added here and there to keep the calendar in harmony with the seasons. The pontiffs were soon accused of trying to please their friends rather than the sun by special arrangements of the calendar. Consequently a new 365 day calendar was created. Af ter Caesar 's assassination , Augustus named the eigh th month for himself. July was named for Julius Caesar; March was named after the god Mars ; May was named for the goddess Maia, and June for Juno. The months September, October , November and December were named from the Latin words "seven , eight, nine, ten." This, Julian calendar was used for 1600 years, when it was found to be ten days behind the solar year. In 1582 the calendar was again adjuste d . n Personalit y in the Small School Th e Seven Crosses Books and Authors (By Ruth Boone) Under the broken trees on the hillside o£ St. Malay, Under the wooded crosses seven soldiers decay.

Oh what are your dreams, my com- Christopher Morley's "Kitty Foyle" is a fictitious auto-biography of a twenty-eight year old Scotch-Irish girl , daughter of a cussing and rheumatic former cricket player. The settings are in Philadelphia , in Manitou, Illinois, and in New York. Kitty 's story starts in her tenth year, during the time of the World War. Her brother Ed. is a soldier in France, brother Denny lives away, and Mac helps with the income at home. Motherless Kitty aids Myrtle, the colored housekeeper, with the dishes, the clothes washing, and the errands to the grocery store, besides trying to keep Tom Foyle, her father, in some sort of homely comfort. In Philadelphia , in the company of other children her age, she gains worldly knowledge , learning things in the coarse manner—those things that older people consider conversational taboo when young ones are present. Kitty 's moulding character reveals itself graphically as she tells of her earliest childish impressions, of her likes and dislikes , and of her small every-day problems. In her thirteenth year she leaves Philadelphia to visit her aunt and uncle, in Manitou, Illinois. Here she starts her high school days. She finds herself one of the first of that generation which learned to study in the parlor while the radio played. The mere presence of Jesse Cornish, a high school girl whom, the students know as a "fas t one ," excites Kitty strangely. Here also she finds fun playing with sneezing powder and stink bombs. Then back to Philadelphia and to Frankford High School, where she notices some changes since her absence. College beckons her to Illinois again , but a telegram calls her back home after two days a tt endan ce, her father having fallen gravely ill. In Philadelphia she meets Wyn Strafford , a Mainline blueblood. The love affair between Kitty and Wyn is beautiful while it lasts, but the Mainline traditions conflict with Kitty's lower social status and the inevitable rift occurs. Kitty finds some sort of solace in a thriving cosmetic business in New York. Then she meets a promising young surgeon, whose conspicuous fault is wearing loud clothes and mentally weighs the possibility of marrying him. The novel is humorous and blunt at times, but always it is a realistic delineation of feminine yearning and expression of life. The sole query one holds concerning the book, is how Christopher Morley, a man, could have given us such a full and sincere portrait of a woman. rades? Have you no dreams below? And what of national cause, comrades? Have you no nation now? But harken the voice of the seventh Beneath that withered bough: "I was an English professor Most twenty years ago. I j oined an army of legions, To driv e off an insidious foe, And then one night in my dugout While translating Chaucer I died, Shot in the head by a bullet My manuscript by my aide. And Re n e, my comrade, soon followed; He was a barber by trade. One night as he looked o'er the parapet Into the black hell beyond, The whispering death all about him He fell by a sniper 's song. And Keven and Mike and Roger All youthful, too young to know, So filled with the joy of living Too quickly their moments go. One night a cloud of phosgene, Into their trenches crept, Perf umed with the scene of geraniums, They died retching as they slept. And Ernest was last to join us, His music had been his life. All his faithful study at Leipzig, Was lost in that moment's strife, And with this he ceased to parley And all grew ghastly and still, Where those seven . white crosses are standing, On the knoll of St. Malay 's Hill." AVE YOU EVER heard about a hermit that developed a sparkling perH sonality? Certainly not, for one meane of improving one's oersonality is through contacts and associations with others. Such contacts aid both in recognizing one's short-comings and in discovering means of correcting them. True , students in large schools are not hermits in the narrow sense, but Waller Hall News they do not have the opportunities for helpful associa tions which prevail in the smaller school. How would you like a lecture class with three hundred students? If such were the case you would not be called on by your name, Dormitory rooms are what you but by a number.
