Bows cPhilippines CGoday The sun had withdrawn and the evening breeze had started to move gently from the lowland towards the ilis· ant hills. The church bell rang.It was six o'clock. All nt'Ound was gray, quiet and motionless. Pepe had been by the window. His eyes followed the winding road that led from the house. fre waS anxiously watching for his father's familin1· fif?ure. In another room ol the house his mother lay helpless in bed, her head and lids heavy with pain. Once in a while her faint ,·oice came to Pepe. asking ii his father was com· inf?. And ehch time Pepe would gentl)' tell her that sl:.e must slee.p and not worry because his father would be comin~ very soon. Pepe knC'W only to well the critieal condition of his mo· ther.

Ile rould not help feeling bitter as he thought of his father, tl!c fa· ther who gambled and drank nnd bt'Ought nothing but misc1·y to their little hut. Indeed he was the very cause of the sufferinl? that Pepe's mother was l?Oing through. She had worriC'd so much over their drbts until she had fallen ill. l\ow, his father had gone to town to j?Ct a doctor. Prpe could not im· aginc what was keeping him tl·erc so long. Maybe the doctor was not home, maybe an :1rci<lmt-he hoped not. So manv maybies filled his mind und 0bdor~ he knew it, he was crying.

He was indeed very late and the preliminary formation was through. The Cadets ,.-ere already profusely swr-ating from marching, and tl1e platoon leader was shouting, "By the right flank, Marcl:.·; By the left. flank, March; Platoon .... '' Cadet Sad sack, not realizing that his time had diminished and his demerits increased, paused to think for a dcfil'lite strategical ap· proach to his platoon formation without the platoon lender noticing "him at all. The whistle blew; it was Officer's call. Cadet Sad Sack cased at heart, realized Cc was in luck. Ile had alwavs been in "luck", that his ;iame always appeared on the bulletin hoard on the list o~ Ca<lct:-; late at fonnation and hi~ demerits were weekly cm the ercsrcndo. "Phi.: ~n leader comanded, "J<'Af,I~ OUT'1, am) as soon as h(' walked off towanh; thr Commandant. Ca· dct Sad Sack came to 1 i fe, bis (cet earrving him faster than he exp<;ctcd toward hi:-; disassrmbled unit. Then he seated himscli comfortably witr. them on the soft green grass under a tree. "As I say'', he said to the cadet in front of him, "you 're all too very 'mahilig' ! Why. throughout all this month I have never come on time and 1 'U bet you all m.v pants the 'goddamned' Cadet Loocy will Rcver notie<' me cbming late," his cigarette smoke forming rings in the air. Suddenly, "FALL IN" burstcd through t"-e air like lighting throwing Cadet Sad Saek from his scat and making him lrap surprisingly hi.sth from the ground. Cadet Sad Sack was third in the race toward the formation and, surely cnoug-h, his prayer-s were answered-the platoon leader did 'nt notice tP.e ''n('weomer''. "FREBZK Y-0-U'', the platoon leader thundrred pointing towards \?ifistcr Sad Sack and at the same time approaching him, "What the. . arr you moving around for?'' he ('Ontinuod. "Bnt Attention" had not been 1given Sir," waq the immediate retort. "Oh-no, smart, wise guy. huh? And, by the way, where did I see your mug before! '' and with dagger-sharp eyes, Sad Sack was scrutinized from head to foot. "A stranger it seems to me" the Cadet Loocy sarcastic.ally muttered to him.self. This time Sad Sack realized he must resign to hi.s fate. ''NAME1'' the questioner roared, pulling out from his pocket a sheet of paper! he roll. The name was given, with some r..esitation, and the questioner looked at the roll. "Well, Mister, now I see the reason why you were waiting for 'Attention' after the command 'Fall in' ''Sergeant,'' the leader called the platoon sergeant,'' take these down for our good stranger." A long dictation followed· '"Answering back in ranks 6 demcril'i; Moving the hear1 after falling in, 1 demerit; late at formation, 1 demerit; Absent from roll call, one .

The mental regior had temporarily ended; the platoon leader had left him to continue with the instructions for the group. Tl:crc was a sign of relief presently, and from the corner of his mouth, Cadet Sad Sark muttered to himself, "My ~~~,V~f s~a~~:dth~~ ;~: t:~ outwit him again.'' At eleven hundred lhirh· hours, Cadet Sad Sack wished he was already homC'. His mind was beginning to imagine tbngs and his eyes W<'l'C seeing roast beef, tC'n· derloin steak and mashed potatoe..'>.

Beneficial when you beat a class, for example, to attend a formal convocation in which a prominent citizen or political leader is a guest speaker. In which case, if you- know how, you could leam a lot of things which, technically, one professor could not gi\·e you in the space of one lcctul'C hol!I'. But this is not disparaging the professors. to be sure. On the other hand, beating classes is disastrous the minute you spent your valuable class hours for cl'atting or drinking. Well had it been said before: "LoBd, between 1J1mri1Jt and Bun.set, 60 golden tJtinute~. TIO reward i,; offered. -FOR THEY ARE GONE FOREVER!""

Otherwise, he has no husiness in <'lasses. Again, one who has devoted himself most .in his studies is the same and one who will sueee-ed, far better ti'an the student who take.'! time so ea.<:y. More often than not, a student who doesn't take hi;; r-tudies seriously finds himself alwa.vs cramming- before examination daYs and as is the immutable law of com· mon SCIL'>C. fails most of his subjects.
