Towards the latter part of this school yeal' a spirit has arisen among a certain group of boys which is most unfor- hmate, that is the spirit of "loosening up." An Error. The general idea of this group would be like the following, "Oh, well, just a little while
longer, I might as well h:we some fun." The result is that the number of demerits imposed dnriug the past month was enormous and totally unnecc~sary. We arc sorry to sec this feeling for it indicates the wrong attitude. It has alwa;is
