he is concerned about his future, these
thoughts will indeed scare him, or
ought to. If a student has decided in
his own mind what he is preparing
himself for, his career depends upon the
concentration on, his chosen course.
A student who wonders, if he _ is
making the most of his opportunity
and feels that he has not found the
source where he can obtain the things
that he feels will mould and perfect
him for wjiat he wishes to do or be,
has no organization of mind or an un-
organized philosophy of his own.
In this age of specialization, a man
can never reach the top of the ladder
unless he has, during the period of his
development, assdciated himself per-
sistently with things that help to make
him what he wants to be. Your life
is according to your philosophy. Life
means more to us than any other one
things Life, as we make it, governs
our destiny. Since life can be wonder-
ful and grand, why live it as a battle
for survival or existence? Why be
satisfied with the little sphere you are
in? Mould a life that is worth while,

EMMA FREY, B. A.
Miss Frey is another student who
has answered the call of her Alma
Mater. The call to her has been so
luring, so irresistable, so impelling, that
her career as a teacher has been in-
terrupted in order to continue her pur-
suit of knowledge. After receiving her
permanent certificate from this institu-
tion, Miss Frey taught in the Lutheran
College of Seguin during the winters
and returned here in the summers to
work toward a degree.
During her stay here, through her
mastery of the subject matter, she has
gained the admiration of her teachers
and her fellow-workers. Miss Frey
is one of those rare students who al-
ways has a Suitable answer for every
question that may occur to our “profs.’’
To her, work seems a privilege and a
pleasure instead of a burden. She is
enthusiastic about everything that she
attempts to do and enters into her work
with mind, soull, and body. It was
this attitude that gained for her the
appointments as a student assistant.
She is efficiently filling the position as
a teacher of English 101.
However, to her, life is not all work
and no play. Being an excellent stu-
dent does not mean that she refuses to
enter into student activities. She is a
charter member of the Comenian So-
ciety, which, though now disbanded,
was at one time one of the most prom-
inent literary societies of this_ school.
At the beginning of the year Miss Frey
was unanimously elected as president
ot the German club. Her ability as a
leader is shown by her work in this
office. She is a member of the Liberty
Choru/s and also takes active part in
“Y” work, being one of the membership
committee. Through her association
with us she has made a host of friends.
Miss Frey, wherever you go, we wish
you the best of success, 'the best of
everything conducive to your happiness.

Will you help us clean up and pledge director of athletics at Cornell college,
-your influence to prevent future mark- Courage, a clean mind, clean
speech, fair play, the spirit of give
and take, the fighting heart, they to-
gether make up the character of a suc-
cessful football player,” he says. “The
man with character is the most valu-
able to his team.
“I would a lot rather play a losing
game with men of character, of the
right kind of brain power, than with
a team which is superior on paper but
without the deep-seated character
which is fundamental to a win-or-die
spirit.
“The athletic field teaches lessons
you can’t learn out of books—moral
lessons, lessons of spiritual advantages.
“The mart, who can act wisely when
things-are going against him, who can
think in a storm of adversity, that is
the man who succeeds—anywhere.
“If youir opponent resorts to under-
hand methods, you immediately have
him at a disadavntage. He expects
you to take an eye for an eye, and
watches for you to try. When his
attention is diverted from his game—
outwit him.
“The fellow who bites the closest
ear when he finds himself in a pile of
players, or slugs in scrimmage, or
does any kind, of underhand work is
getting little out of athletics.
“There is a lot of give and take in
life—and it is the way you give and
take that determines whether you are
an athlete or a mucker.”
Director Finger, known throughout
the Middle We9t for his maxims on
“Clean Athletics” and “Sports for All”
