+ Pfycbolagy SYCHOLOGY is the study of 'human nature. It is a very exact- ing study which requires a very deep human understanding of man-of 'how he sees and thinks, of how he feels and hears, of -how he moves. Every one knows something about human nature. A person wh-o lives a happy normal life in pleasant surroundings and enjoys warm human relations is one who should be perfectly contented with his lot. But how unfor-tunate it is that many people do not have the satisfac- tion of living in this happy environment. Con- sequently, we have many people afilicted with abnormal views of life. I-t wasn't more than a score of years ago that these people were con- si-dered quite hopeless. The scientifically -trained men of psychology have incessantly fought against this with all the wisdom acquired in their many years of training. To distinguish scientific reasoning from popu- lar reasoning, we must realize -that scientific reasoning is much more accurate in 'the field A Great Future of psychology. Psychology has become increasingly impor- tan-t in the busy world of today. Never have human events been so affected as they have been by world conditions of today. Eminent medical authorities claim that the average life span of th-e human being has increased to the age of sixty-five as of this year. But little does the public realize that during the last sixty years sick minds have increased twelve times over. Before this past war, one American in thirteen or fourteen 'had a sick or defective mind. Now one in ten minds has crumbled. This grave problem confronts our courageous men of psychology at the present. The responsibilities of psychology are numer- ous and very serious. The 'highly scientific reasoning of psychology should be the basis of our education. I believe that seniors, who are to go out into this competitive world, would find a one-year course of basic psychology of tremendous help to -them.

Only then will you realize that your life here at Carson Long is at an end. But in a larger sense we know that the ideals and -traditions that we seniors have learned so well will be carried through the corridors of time by C. L. I. men wherever they may be. The last year has passed swiftly, and in the short while we 'have lived together there has been a continual gaining of knowledge which will be of value to us for the rest of our lives. This experience has not only increased our academic knowledge but also taught us to co- operate with each other. This was a deciding factor in making this last year a successful one. Now that the last year has come -to a close you will find yourself thinking of the words which were spoken -to you so many times on the athletic field as well as in the classroom. They might have sounded something like -this, Well gentlemen these are your last years here with us at C. L. I., Let's make them good ones- years we will never forget. We did. The last days of high sch-ool are here and the las-t hours are approaching. Soon we will be saying our Hnal good-byes, and, though words may fail us, our friends will know what we are' trying to tell them, and they will understand. So to -the Senior Class, I say: Good-bye fel- lows, it has been great living with you and I wish you all the good this world has to offer.

Character Tm HARACTER training here at Carson Long plays an important part in our education. After receiving this training, a boy is ready to be recognized as an honest and strong man. Character -training is the improving and proper disciplining of the heart, the soul, the will, and the body. What does each of these have to do with character? Let me take the heart for -the first t-hing. The heart gives you the power to have -the will to succeed. Our parents 'have hearts that are great and understanding. Each of us has a heart and here at Carson Long we are trained to do more things with it. A loyal and honest heart will 'help in becoming successful during life. The soul is the thing that is of most im- portance in character training. It is the believ- ing in God and in ourselves -that makes the soul great. Any man who has faith in God and in himself cannot fail during life. Z 16 ning+a+ We believe here at school that every man has a will. He will be able to 'do any thing that anybody else has done whether it seems impossible or not. We believe that if a man has nerve and will power he will be able to succeed as he goes on through life. When the boys first come to Carson Long, they have pale faces, rounded shoulders, and weak muscles. Starting every day off with ten minutes of exercises changes the boys to sturdy persons and in addition makes them straight and square-shouldered. It also gives the boys power to do anything that seems hard. These are the qualities that make great men. That is one reason why Carson Long not only educates a man but also makes 'him strong and earnest. Qualities like 'these can't be gotten from -text-books but they contribute in making a goo-d man who will become a true American.
