HIGH NEWS THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS Our mind is a wonderful piece of ma- unery and yet we cannot concentrate on i ,o things at the same time. Hundreds and j .rhaps thousands of positive and negative .noughts enter our mind each day. The good thoughts are positive and the bad are nega- tive. All thoughts, or perhaps most of them, tend to express themselves in actions. For as a man is in his heart, so is he, and his actions are controlled accordingly. Now comes the great question, the battle between the positive and the negative. The problem is not difficult if we take the right attitude towards it. The whole solution lies in three words, elimination by substitution. Substitute for each bad thought a good thought, and the bad thought will die a natural death. Not until we assume this attitude will we be able to control our thoughts and actions. J. Gardenhour '28 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Community House Friday, June, 7th, 8:00 p.m. Invocation Rev. Curfman.

By the general approval through out the period it was given, and the after dis- cussion, it must have reached the expectations of those present. My but I certainly do feel funny!
