As a departure from their usual parlies, this time they did not ask for donations from their guardians nor did they spend from their bethel funds, but spent their own heardcarned personal savings. Even so, they had a successful party with their enjoyable games, songs and dances put on in an impromptu manPresent at the party were rainbows from the Manila assembly, DeMo lays from the two chapters in Ma nila, and Jobies from Olongapo and Dumagtiete. A ■ - If I had my life to live over ai/ain, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week; for perhaps ths parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be in jurious to the intellect, and more probably the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature. —Charles Darwin February 1966 13
