"SOLDIERS AT HOME"
It takes more than the man in un£
iform to keep a nation going. For
every man at the front there must be
men and women behind him, keeping
hi m su pplied , keeping up his morale,
and giving him something to fight
for. We do not have to apply that
statement to someone else; we can
apply it to ourselves.
It has been the policy of the Maroon and Gold staff this year to put
out a weekly issue when the college
is in session. Our increased publication has been possible financially by
increased allocations from C. G. A.
and the use of local advertising in
our paper.
But it has been possible too because our staff has worked hard to
put out issues. Now we are calling
upon you as a reader. Last week you
read that we needed reporters . Not
one person volunteered. We need
people who will work on our advertising staff. . In addition the staff
wants some student opinion as to
what parts of the paper are well
liked and what parts would be better discontinued. Just write your
opinion arid give it to a member of
the staff. If you have some contribution to the paper but do not want
to help every week, do not be afraid
to hand it in. This paper is what we
students make it.
And what has that to do with
backing a soldier or working without a uniform? Just this, At present the Maroon and Gold is a big
factor in keeping the men in uniform

SPRING
You, lovely and glorious Spring,
Coming to us from the sky,
We praise you for coming to bring
Such beautiful things to our eyes!
You have brought back the gay birds
Their songs full of gladness to sing—
To give, in their musical words,
Their sweet little hymns of Spring!
The brooks, o'er the pebbles, run
Sounding your praise as they flow:
The grass points its blades to the sun,
And thanks you for making them
grow.
The forest, the grove, and the vine
In festival garments are clad,
To show that a presence like thine
Is making them grateful and glad.
Sweet Spring! The Maker sent thee
And made you to brighten our days:
Your aim is His glory, we see:—
We j oin y ou in giving Him praise.

To Our Boys in Service:
The scramble for teachers is on. A letter from a supervising principal
states, "Af ter a few quiet weeks without a vacancy, it has happened again
—We are not very optimistic about finding—a teacher, but we can stand the
shock if you can recommend one." So it goes in the office of the Placement
Service. Many vacancies, but few candidates to suggest.
