uUjie WrattijU’ra The “Wranglers’ came into existence on October 10, 1919, although the name. “Wranglers’ was not adopted until January 22. 1920. Until this time, it was known simply as the “Literary Society.” It’s purpose is to give it’s members experience in making speeches and in debating. From the beginning, the society was a success. Mr. Castleman, who is a honorary member, presided over the first meeting and had a great deal to do with the getting the society properly organized.

■£:£ Z'X ---............... 1920 EMF' w 4 STOP AND THINK You seem to know about many of the important things of life; but, can you stand up before an audience and talk without getting frightened? You may think this is not important, but, stop, look over the road that our successful men have to travel and sec for yourself the number of times that they are halted and asked to appear before an assembly to give their ideas on various subjects. They have to be prepared; how about you? Each hour brings you nearer to the time when the big men of today will, with a feeble voice, say, “I am old and weary; are you ready to take my place ?” What are you going to say? You may inherit their gold, and obtain their place at the wheel, but, remember the Supreme Power prohibits you from taking that experience mind, which they possessed. That leaves vou at the same place where they began, with two exceptions in your favor, that is, that you have the track open before you and can sec where they wandered astray. J. C. HENDRICKS. •‘GOOD HABITS TO FORM” • Learn to take things as they come—without regrets and complaints. There are two sides to life—the shadow side and the sunny side. Get the habit of traveling on the sunny side. Speak of the good and wholesome qualities of people. When you make a promise—keep it. When you set an appointment, be there and on the dot. Occupy every minute of your working day, to a purpose. To the idle, the Devil is most friendly. Associate with people bigger than yourself, and soon you will be big. Shun the whiner as you would the plague. Save at least a third of what you earn, and give part of that away! Cultivate a cheerful frame of mind and keep a fire of warmth in your heart at all times. Trouble is always peeping around the corner of the house in which a long face and a cold heart live. See something beautiful in every living thing! When you have found your niche, fill it and stay in it. But. keep inviting folks to come and call on you. Take time to eat and take care as to what you eat. Have an inward reverance for the body in which you live. Select only such friends as you can be true to through thick and thin—and cyclones. Be always mindful of the interests of others. Try not to hurt their feelings. Never let a day pass without self-examination. Learn to critici .e your- self. Have aims, and keep climbing up to them. Never lose heart. Kindness is strength. To be tender toward people is to sensitize your soul. It is a great thing to acquire. Read something helpful every day. Happiness is a habit. A virgin mind, a truthful tongue, a clean and honest heart. Should travel always hand in hand and never, never, part. J. C. H. % m Page Four Hundred Thirty-six
