Tan or Intangible
, "Leisure is the mother of discovery," English physiologist
Michael Foster once remarked.
, H* L‘ Mencken, famous editor and critic, also observed
There is nothing worse than an idle hour, with no occupation
ottering. r
,, The significance of these quotations mav be realized
atter the rush of end-of-school activities has subsided. RJd of
unwanted obligations, almost everyone will have some leisure
time to do what he really wants.
Onnortunities are endless. You can stare a+ old movies
on television craft vour ear to a transistor radio or leaf
through a collection of comic hanks. ′$ wou’-e really energetic
you can set out to get a good tan while sleeping heride the
nearest pool. Or there is always -iing around or just talkine

There will be about 2200 home of varaton lime much
of which could be utilized to, as Henry David Thoreau ex-
pressed it "improve (vour) soul's estate.’’
When September I rolls around, will you have something
to show for your summer besides a tan? You know, a tan
won't last all winter.
Eliminate PDA
Watch out. PDA Is on the increase.
PDA? No, it's not a disease, government agency or by-
word for a new Madison Avenue product.
PDA stands for a ritual that blossoms every spring—pub-
lic display of affection.
Young love being in the air, couples stroll through school
halls, down public sidewalks and in local stores, arm in arm,
cooing at each other contentedly.
is ifnecessary for couples smitten by the nectar to nourish
the blooms in front of everyone? It provides embarrassment
for spectators, leaving an "I'm intruding" feeling.
Couples aren't willing to share their sweetheart's letters
or their sweethearts themselves. Then why is affection dis-
played so publicly?
If the preceding illustration applies to you, don't keep
your love a secret; tell the world, but please, no demonstrat-
ions.
Learn To Play Safely
May 29 will officially usher in summer vacation, with its
fun, trips and relaxation. More and more families will take
to the road to visit relatives and to see the numerous points
of interest in our country. Swimming, boating and skiing
fans will be heading for the lake or favorite swimming hole
in their area.
The increasing number of automobiles on the nation's
highways will constitute an ever-present danger to driving
safety. The traffic death toll rises sharply each summer sea-
son, mainly due to the decreasing amount of auto courtesy
shown among drivers.
Water skiing enthusiasts will invade the lakes, beaches
and waterways, as will swimmers and sun bathers, presenting
the problem of water safety. Most boat owners do not bother
with life preservers when riding in deep water; nor do most
skiiers. even some who aren't very good swimmers.
If you aren't a good swimmer and you have a couple of
free weeks this summer, a good investment would be a course
of swimming lessons. The fee is small and they would prob-
ably more than pay for themelves in worry-free enjoyment.
There are some rules to be observed in driving, rules of
nature that cannot be disobeyed without serious conse-
quences. Trips can be very tiresome, and a rest period could
save your life when you become sleepy.

Swimmers Stage
Fascinating Sites
The Catalina Club, a swim-
ming organization at Austin
High School in Austin, Minneso-
ta, presented a program which
gave onlookers a view of some
of the most fascinating places
in the country. The journeys
were conducted in the school’s
swimming pool with the club
members responsible for the se-
lection of the music, choreogra-
phy, costuming and performing.
McAllen High School’s var-
sity band recently went on a
tour of Mexico with a Friend-
ship Caravan. They were gree-
ted warmly everywhere they
went and were not only mob-
bed, but once had to play an
hour and a half of encores.
Aside from the usual sightsee-
ing, one of the highlights of the
trip was the unusual Mexican
rodeo they attended in Leon. The
band director commented that
the tour was wonderful because
the students had a chance to see
how other people live.
Hillcrest High School in Dal-
las has one of the weirdest
clubs yet. It is the Colonial Di-
vision of the Ancient and Ho-
norable Rumpled Union of Men-
dicant Poachers Before Parlia-
ment.
