THE DRAGON ])o You KnoY Him ? Walking down the side aisle, he impresses one with his appearance of authoritativeness and look of determination, given, I believe, by his little moustache. He is a short, stout man, in a gray suit, whole sole ambition seems to be in encouraging and helping others to be leaders. His impatient gestures, when speaking of idleness or lack of loyalty, bring out his real thoughts of anyone who dares to be idle or disloyal to Fairmont. His frequent corrections and ever-ready word of helpfulness, show his ambition for those lor whom he works. He has a wonderful way of arousing enthusiasm in our students, and upon several occasions has taught our cheer leaders how to lead in cheering. During football and basketball seasons, he loves to visit “Coach Warner’s’’ sections and always gives some help by words of kindly criticism or commendation. He takes a keen interest in all school activities as well as Athletics. During our prepara¬ tion for the County Literary Contests, he was with us almost every day, and helped in many ways. Naturally, he enjoys a good laugh, and loves a good story and likes to tell one. Whenever he is pleased with the students, we can hear his jolly laugh above all others. While we know he means business, and we respect him for it, we do not fear him, for we feel that he has a heart of love for young people, and we say with one voice—“All joy to you, our superintendent.’’ We often wonder whether or not this saying is right. When we think of it, do we not always give our answer “Yes?” Hard work does accomplish something. If it did not, would Herbert Hoover be where he is today? We first heard of Mr. Hoover as a small Iowa farmer and miner; if any one would have told him he was going to be President he would have laughed at them. But in 1 896 we see him reporting on mines. He was content to begin with small jobs and earn his advancement. He was put on what is known as the human engineering when he was assigned to the Belgium Relief. Herbert Hoover has won his fortune and fame by doing the jobs he did for the United States. Why? Because he worked hard to accomplish something which would be useful to him. W. W. T wenty-thcee
