to finish the year with honor.
Already the schedule of final exams is posted on the bulletin boards of the college. The end of the school year is so near that we can begin to smell the freedom from academic affairs which it will bring.
I suggest the following as a cure for spring fever:
Read the book, even if it does cause acute pain.
Write the term paper so you do not have to worry about it.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat some fruit.
Take exercises at the regular times.
Say. "This Spring Fever, too. shall pass away, but as for me. I shall have completed my school year with honor."

Von, x'56 and Elsie Kindley, '54, Hall have appointed to the Nigerian mission field. Formerly, Von’s home was Richmond, Mo., and Elsie’s was Downs, Kans. Presently, their home church is North Solomon in Portis, Kansas.

Florence Royer is from Palm-yra, Pa. Previously she served as a missionary nurse in Nigeria where she met Ralph. She has taken some work at Bethany Biblical Seminary plus some courses in other colleges. Her studies, besides nursing, have been concentrated in the Bible field.
Don, ’54, and Shirley Wine, X54, Fike are preparing for work in Ecuador. Don hails from Peace Valley, Mo. He will be among the spring graduates of Bethany Biblical Seminary. Rural life was Don’s major. In Ecuador he will be in agricultural work as well as other church work.
Shirley attended Mac one year as a transfer student from Black Hills Teachers College. Formerly from S. Dak., Shirley's home church now is the Bethel church in Naperville, Ill. After her year here, she went to Chicago to take nurse training which she completed in 1955. The Fikes have one child, a daughter.
This is the time of the year when that unavoidable disease, Spring Fever, reaches out of the atmosphere and lays hold upon us.
Its diagnosis is not difficult: bleary eyes, weakness in limbs, yawning in the morning and in the evening, snoring in class, a general draggy feeling, and acute pain at the sight of a book.
Its cure is not as easy as its diagnosis. The easiest thing to do is to lie down, or to push the books behind the bed and go for a walk, or to relax and sleep at the table, in the classroom, in the midst of company, and everywhere else.
It is better, however, to stiffen the back, prop the eyelids open, sleep at the proper time, and try
