€t)e Marionette ' 23 RUSSELL STEWART, A. B. Major, Latin. A sound and loyal member of the Senior class is this “Gentleman from Indiana.” Stewart has received honors from several Indiana State Normal schools. He possesses a quiet grace and a self-confidence, which demands ad¬ miration from his fellow students. “Lat¬ in and Botany make my life interest¬ ing.” A slight remodeling of his attitude was necessary Nov. 30, 1922. Jfllelntattons of a College Mentor It is finished. Shall this be the end or just the beginning? The goal so long striven for has been reached. How bright and wonderful it appeared as viewed from the standpoint of a Freshman. To be a Senior! Could there be anything more desirable, more to be striven for? Would not the world be at one’s feet? Opportunities would be jostling one another in their eagerness to reach one so honored and learned. Fortune’s smile, the world’s hearty welcome, the joy of achievement, the thrill of power! Oh, these illusions of youth that lend incentive to progress. Woe to him who has no vision. No momentum to carry him through the quagmires of discouragement. Examinations come; failures haunt one’s path; discouragements are numerous. Only the buoyancy of youth; the striving after the fulfillment of that vision which brings de¬ termination, could overcome such discouragement. As one reviews the school life and looks back over the joys and sorrows, the victories and defeats and bring all accounts to a close, does he find those four years well invested? Does he feel repaid for his labors, his sorrows, his difficulties? Is he so much better equipped to face life and its problems that he can count those years spent to a good advantage? Did they fill the head and rob the heart or did they add to the richness of future life? How full of gratitude and loyalty and de¬ votion one should be to a school which gave and developed in him the Eternal Hope, the great vision of the perfect beyond. May Marion Col¬ lege, where the Master is ever held before her students, grow and pros¬ per and spread her influence for good throughout all the land.

In 1918 he enlisted in the United States Army, re¬ ceiving a Second Lieutenant’s commis¬ sion, and became a training officer at Camp McClellan, Alabama.

Ability in argumentation came to Sterling as a result of experience in at¬ tending Elwood, Winchester, Greentown and Kokomo High Schools. For a year and a half he was a student in Indiana University. Enlistment in the army de¬ layed his studying. But after his dis¬ charge from the army he transferred to Marion College. Seemingly without effort he mastered Greek, Chemistry, Math, and French. Scarcely a day passed that this illustrious Senior did not settle some disputed question. €be Marionette ' 23

It needs the overflow of heart To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world’s famine feed; Speak truly, and each word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed. ia e 13 EJ | 3 5H5
