It's Time To Think

How often are the sophomores asked the question,
Where are you going next yeaf?'
And how often is it that the sophomores answer:
II don't know for just yet but think I'll go to Ole
MISS or probably State. guess I'll go somewhere,
anyway
And how often is it that the next year finds several
OF these students back at home, probably working in
the nearby grocery.
Yes It's time to Think It's time right now for the
sophomores to consider their school for next year Re
member there are only four months lingering ahead,
and four months crowded with recitas plays or the
like, can pass off at surprising of speed If you
haven't written for catalogue, you should do right
away before the supply is eXhausted If you must Dor
row money, and some of MUST, you should make
arrangements for doing at earliest convenience
In other words the object of this editorial is to bring this
thought up before the sophomores There is no time
like the present to plan for the future!
