NEWPORT, MAINE lvf1g... .ee . -'M 'YWWZAYY W' W I WI 5 lIlIlHHIHlS Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf? Basketball, baseball, debating, plays, prize speaking, when you hear these activities mentioned do you im- mediately look forward, with antici- pation, to your first trial or does a wistful longing arise in your heart only to be immediately smothered by that thickest and yet most cowardly of all fogs - - an inferiority complex? I say cowardly because once you set your mind on it, it's very simple and easy to defeat it. Here's how you go about it: Supposing the subject is basketball. You just go down to that first practice and watch the fellows shoot awhile, and then before you know it, you'll be saying, Shucks, those guys are lousy. Let me down there: I'll show 'em how it's done. And your troubles are overg because once you get a taste of that cream of school life, you can't be bribed to quit it. And even if you don't always make the team, you can always say, I did my best. In overcoming an inferiority com- plex you have to have an extreme su- periority complex at first as a shield: but after the battle has been won, that shield must be thrown away, be- cause with a superiority complex you will be much worse off than you were in the first place, as this condition hurts not only you but others. Be a self-made man, but heed Con- fucius when he say: The self-made man should not take too much pride in his work. Kidciing Yourself Kidding yourself, or as it is com- monly called, Hputting something over on the teacher , has been, since the founding of our presentschool system, one of the students' most popular sports. It is usually a recognized fact, however, that those students who practice this fine art look upon themselves as very smart, tif one is smart enough to get away with ith and look down upon the rest of the school as being just too stupid. Don't you suppose we could put up with their very funny little tricks, much more easily though if they didn't go around telling how much special credit they deserve? With the sweet innocence of inexperience, they imagine that they are fooling the teacher, while in the first place, strange as it may seem, teachers are not so stupid as these clever students suppose: they hardly could be so simple and get along in this world to- day. In the second place, teachers give high grades because they want to give you the benefit of the doubt: many times probably when they feel reasonably sure that the work is not entirely honest. You are kidding only yourself, when you copy or otherwise cheat, because during this process of depending on someone else for the answer, your ability to find the answers, and your power to meet new situations is rapidly decreasing. Why not snub it now? Come! students, wake up! Snap out of this foolishness, and realize that after all it doesn't make any differ- ence whether you can fool the teacher or notg the important thing is that you're kidding yourself, you're weak- ening. Can't you realize for your own
