The Seniors JOSEPH FRAXCKE ‘ I am very fond of the company of ladies. I like their beauty, their delicacy, their vivacity and—I like their silence.

ALLITERATIVE SLOGANS In the days of our grandparents the fundamental principles of elementary education were the ever popular three r’s—readin,’ ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic—and, as the saying went, taught to the rule of a hickory stick. Although these are surely essential foundations in every walk of life, they do not now have the great significance which was once given them. They are simply the stepping stones, and are considered as a matter of course, not as any great accomplishment. At another time the three h’s—the hand, the heart and the head—became the slogans. These include every principle necessary for a successful life. The heart is the source of all our individuality. The head is the seat of all our mental functions and through it our hands are guided and trained. They are a trio which has as its keynote the one word, personality. We may say with Gibbon, A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute. Coming to a consideration of present day conditions, the slogan of the three p’s at once suggests itself promptness, push and patriotism. From promptness grows the principle of push, the persistent endeavor that is necessary for every effort to become a success. The spirit of patriotism now means more than any one ideal we can follow. If each citizen wishes to do his all in winning the war, he will find no better principles to follow than the three s’s—saving, sacrifice and service. Our young men are giving the best service in their power and everyone who stays at home and saves will be serving his country to the fullest extent. Through this we will be sacrificing and giving services which we had never dreamed we could. But who is not willing to do it for his country and for democracy? Trust no future, howe’er pleasant. Let the dead past bury its dead; Act. act in the living present; Heart within and God o’erhead. JOSEPHINE V. GORI. 18. 28
