What to yourself did you stop and say you tackle your work each When a new task lay ahead? What was the thought that was in your mind? Was fear ever running through it? If so, (next year) just tackle the task you find By thinking you're going to do it.” Freshmen—Next year you will be over in the Main Building enjoying the priv- ileges and advantages of Sophomores.

Guest’s poems “You can do as much as you think you can, y ; ’ But you'll never accomplish more; If you're afraid of yourself, young man, There’s little for you in store. For failure comes from the inside first, It’s there if we only knew it. And you can win, though you face the worst, If you feel that you're going to do it.” Arlene Cummings ’28
