To this perhaps could be added as a further admonition, the virtue of perseverance. A combination of patience and perseverance, coupled with a good, strong resolution and a sense of direction, would provide a working formula which would be difficult to surpass, if properly applied, in the life of anyone, teenager, student, or even an adult business man or housewife. Websters definition of perseverance is this: To continue resolutely, in any business or enterprise undertaken, to pursuue steadily any design or course commenced; not to give over or abandon This could perhaps be applied in a situation which what is undertaken. is very common among heterogenous student body such as ours. Namely, a student finding a certain subject difficult, and seriously considering dropgrades come out. Perhaps there ping said subject before might be another, more gratifying way of solving the dilemma. In all discussion of your particular problem with probability a the instructor would enlist the aid of another interested party to assist you. Now heres where perseverance might reap its reward. An extra hour or two of concenerated study, an earnest attempt daily, would probably pull you through in fine shape. Besides, practically no instructor will fail a student who really tries. This idea of perseverance also has a valuable social application For all students who are away from home, or even among new people for the first time, the situation demands a terrific period of readjustment to a completely new environment. If you have difficulty in making friends, or in feeling at ease in groups of strange people, this theory of perseverance can be tested admirably. Continue to be ( the first one to say hello, and very soon youll find others being more friendly to you, and youll be amazed at the amount of you will have gained through the experience. Social situations are often quite analogous to going to the dentist. If you tell yourself quite firmly that you can do anything, or stand anything for an hour, or a day, youll discover that you can. If you endeavor earnestly, persevere patiently, youll find that new vistas of capabilities will open up to you. S1 ce WIGGLESWORTH RETURNS ple who squirt water in other ples windows. , The other day I was climbing up the fire escape at Foster Hall when I was almost trampled upon by Larry Olsen and Bruce Turner. At first I thought there was a fire, but I calmned down as soon as I saw they were carrying their books. It wasnt likely that they would carry their books out if there were a fire. As I walked along third floor I noticed some puddles of water on the floor of Jim Amens room. I was beginning, to think there had been a shower for someone when I heard Jim muttering about peo t who use the Do-Flo- p. Our Do-Fl- op manners seem to be slipping, and there have been a lot of leet on the furniture, and considerable rowdiness lately.

He tripped on the top step of second floor, and I was flung into the room where the chapel choir was getting ready. Over in the corner Carl Grubaugfi was squirting something into Ids throat with an atomizer and beside him was Carl Peterson, who was complaining about the length of his robe. Then I left in order to get a seat in the chapel. On my way in I passed Harry Kle-kand Bill Patsuris singing HapJust py Birthday, dear Johnny! as Dr. Teutsch started to warfii up on the opening hymn.

I saw Karen Sutherland Mindly groping her way to her box, saying, I hope my glasses are here. Off to one side Joyce Schnucker was glaring at Dale Fries as he opened a letter from his cousin. All this was beginning to wear me out, so I hitched a ride down to the Do Flop on Wes Roses trouser leg. When I first got in, the smoke was so thick I couldnt see a thing, but I could hear Helen Austins voice asking Coffee? As my eyes became used gradually to the smoke I began to see who was there. Bernard Vandry was in the inner sanctum buying his friends cokes with a handful of slugs he had won playing bingo. Over in one comer was Howard Cox, studying. (I told you I couldnt see well through the smoke.) By the radio were Lois The twenty girls in Ferry Hall this year are representative of Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, Iowa, California and Nevada. Miss Chris, the house mothers, hails from South Bend, Indiana,, while her two able assistants. Miss Johnson and Miss Rhodes, are from Hastings, Nebraska, and Independence, Kansas, respectively. Election of dormitory officers began the year for Ferry occupants, and the following girls are filling the important positions: Marjorie Franz, honorary acting president; Amy Sinefis, president; Marie Oha-sh- i, secretary; Coleen Poemoceah, treasurer; and Lois Blackham, vice-preside- nt. The girls in the dormitory are extremely proud of the newly decorated main floor of their building. Included in the renovation of the main lounge are delicate rose walls, new white casement drapes, printed side panels, cornices above all the windows, and several pieces of new furniture.

The committees were ably led by Pete Ota on tickets, Bill Gold in charge of recreation (!), Bob Christensen, wood procurement, and Charles Farr as general overseer and food chairman. After everyone had partaken to the stage of indigestion the lights were turned low in the lodge and everyone sang the old favorites with new gusto, and even Miss Rhodes, we hear, has a terrific baritone voice.

There was Buster Brown waiting for Bill Warner to come out of class, or for someone to give him a doughtnut. Not knowing how Buster reacted to Westminny Bugs I didnt get close enough to hear what he had to say. Now Im on my way to Ferry Hall and the Science Building.
