THE NEW YEAR
Of all the hateful things in the
world New Year's resolutions are
almost the worst. Predicting
future is so uncertain that it
would be more practical to make
resolutions on the past,' which
will take cure of itself. For in
stance, how depressing to resolve
that "I will be a good girl in
1927" and how much more ele
vating to fold one's hands con
tentedly and say, "Resolved,That
e'cry one knows, or oust to,
that I was a good got in 1926."
The second resolution is as near
the truth'as the first, and has in
addition, a ring of certainty
which makes it more reassuring
and comforting in time of trou
ble than a resolution based on
goodness knows what: the fu
ture is almost certain to be dif
ferent from what you had ex
pected. A resolution made on
the solid, substantial past gives
one a definite background, a feel
ing of stability which may serve
to eoualize and minimize una
voidable fluctuations from the
straight and narrow.
Unfortunately new virtues do
not spring up after penetential
tears like mushrooms after rain.
Resolve to be a good gul during
the coming year and you are
courting disaster, blighting your
own hopes, because you are al
most sure to fall from grace be
fore you know it.
Resolutions on the future can
be so flamboyant—like trying to
i each the stars by grabbing.
Rather admit that you cannot
reach them that way and thank
the gods who put them there to
illuminate the darkness of your
heart.
Alumnae East and West
Entertain Girls at Tea
During Christmas Week
Reports of alumnae antis dies dur
ing the Chi istsnas holidays hose
cached the local alumnae association
The Scranton and Pittsburgh clubs
each held a tea for the Penn State
gals in their sminity
The Scranton Club, the most recent
ly organised of the branch alumnae
'association, is beaded by Miss Dons
Browning '23. The tea, which was
v.ell attended by both students and
alumnae, is one of the many things
planned by the Scranton Club to aid
the college.
The-Pittsburgh Club, whirls was or
ganzed in January 1926, is headed by
Miss Dorothea Mitchell '24 The tea
leas ono 01 the largest affairs held
by the Pittsburgh Club, although its
most ambitious attempt was the spon
soring of "The Witching Hour", green
by the Penn State Players in Pitts
burgh on December ninth. Through
this play the club cleaned oven three
hundred dams for the women's build
ing fund.
GUILTY--
OF A WASTED YEAR?
If that charge were made against you—could you prove
it false?
Another year gone and many people are no farther
ahead.
Others, though, through right handling of money have
gained progress, comfort, safety.
No matter how you stand today—we'll welcome you
here and work with you for progress in the future.
