By cooperation we mean easy adjustment to various situations and working together to make the best of all those situations. The Freshman Class, as is the Sophomore Class, is the largest in the history of Spel man. The enrollment of the entire school is the largest in the history of the college. This large enrollment can be an asset or a li ability— the matter rests with each indi vidual member of this community. We must become adjusted as quickly as possible and as quietly and easily as pos sible to the changes which of necessity have been and will be made. It is not possible that every change will suit our likes or dis likes, because it would necessitate a differ ent way of doing any particular thing for each individual. For example, it would be difficult for the person in charge to have 500 different methods of giving out mail. After a single way of action has been decided on, for the good of all concerned, it is then up to us to become adjusted to it as quickly as possible. This 1943-44 student body is to be admired for the cooperative spirit which has been so clearly shown in the girls’ volunteering to help keep the campus beautiful. Raking leaves is a lot of fun and yet it is work, but when the job is done, the campus is more beautiful and a man has been released to do a more necessary job elsewhere. Such is the spirit that we hope will be maintained throughout the rest of this college year. Patronize Our Advertisers CAMPUS MIRROR Tomorrow No doubt each of us has come to college or is returning to college with more enriched aspirations. We shall aspire for the higher qualities of life and our vision of Tomorrow shall take form. Tomorrow is inevitable. Your tomorrow is inherent in your today. It is as stern a reality as the need for daily bread. More so, for the qualities of tomorrow are the ac cumulated, the compounded power for good and ill that is drawn from the experiences that go before. Youth’s tomorrow is a stark and stern reality which faces youth in each day. Each person deep down in his secret self has a vision of the kind of woman or man he would like to he. Each boy or girl car ries within his heart a vision of himself at his finest and best and that vision is colored with hopes and dreams and powerful desires, the realization of which becomes the measure of satisfaction with one’s way of life. Nobody is forced to the trial. It is as if the Creator said, “Here you are. You have a mind and a will, a wish and a way. Go to it; no more will be given you save what you put into each day’s labor, each day’s growth.” Achievement and worth demand high quali ty of living in terms of control, service, labor and devotion; quality in our work for the sake of the glory ahead, for it is quality that lends beauty and strength to our tasks. Let us use our todays wisely and our To morrows will serve us well. Spelman Welcomes New Faculty and Staff Appointees Ida Kilpatrick, ’46 We are fortunate to have with us this year a number of new additions in the departments of English, Fine Arts, Physical Education, and Science.
