EDITORIAL Easter Easter in reality is the celebration of the old Jewish Passover, although we usually consider it as a festival of the resurrection of Jesus. In the ancient church the celebration of Easter lasted eight days and it was formerly the favorite time for performing baptism. A few of the ancient nations celebrated it much the same as our Christmas, giving alms to the poor and needy, after which the people gave themselves up to enjoyment. They took part in the popular sports and dances, and the clergy often recited, from the pulpit, stories, and with a view of making the audience laugh. Until the sixteenth century Easter was observed in this manner. Then late reformers started a very sanctimonious method of celebration. During the whole week before Easter daily services were held. On Easter day the people saluted each other with the Eastern kiss and the exclmataion, "He is risen," to which the reply was, "He is risen, indeed." At these times the Lord's supper was observed. The time for the celebration of Easter has been changed many times and at present it is determined by the moon. It occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the twenty-first of March. P. Square Corners As the character of man is betrayed in his countenance, so the character of a city is depicted in its landscape. We aim to make Ogden beautiful. We must be loyal students and do the little things in order to accomplish the one big thing. ACORN 11 It is important that we turn square corners, when walking. In cutting cross-lots, one not only robs himself of exercise, but destroys the corners of the lawns. Get up early, students, that you may not be tempted to mar beauty in your hurrying efforts to save time. It is almost vital to the beauty of our landscapes that we turn exactly square corners and not allow our feet to tread upon the grass. E. C. Spring It is the time of the awakening of new life in insects and birds, flowers and trees, man and beast. It was during this season that Christ arose from the tomb. Such a glorious awakening is the most notable characteristic of spring. The glorious beauty of it is now upon us and we revel in its completeness. With it comes life, vigor and energy. The result of such a change from a long winter's hibernation is the "Spring Fever." None of us are immune from this. Why should we be? This surplus energy may lead lovers to "sluff" and stroll in the park, but, on the contrary, if it be conducted properly, it will be the means of better prepared lessons and more promptness to classes. E. C. Tomorrow The cause of many failures of today is the disastrous efforts of the word "tomorrow." How many can say that the word "tomorrow" hasn't played its fatal part in their lives. "Tomorrow" has no real existence, and yet how often do we put off today's work and wait for the unpromised tomorrow. Your only possession is today and it should be your good-will to accomplish with it all that is possible. When we think of borrowing or lending time, we can readily see that it is impossible. There is no promised time to borrow. On the other hand, it is very easy to lend time, which most people do, and thus lose their best opportunity toward success. It is a fact that we will not profit by day dreams, for we are lending time in dreaming. The only remedy for the "put-it-of-until-to-morrow" disease is to act, work and, above all, shun that "put-it-off" habit and start today in life's career, whether in school or out. P.
