We, the Seniors of 1937, are here today —but it will not be long before we have departed from the folds of Tri-State and entered into the greatest of all schools— The School of Actual Practice.” In this new school we shall put into practice those fundamentals gained from all the years of study since early childhood. The new pro¬ fessor will be experience,” and our degree not a B. S. or M. A., but SUCCESS. Suc¬ cess is obtained through determination and the respect one has gained from his fellow men. Every person must have that everlasting determination to forge on, regardless of misfortunes and failures that come to them. The thought of these misfortunes and failures should be forgotten. The author of a recent book, Wake Up and Live,” sums the thought of determination into one simple sentence: Act as if it were impossible to fail.” This author was of the opinion that it actually takes as much energy to fail as it does to succeed, and that we should turn this energy back into useful things instead of throwing it away into day-dreams and secondary activities. Surely this is logical enough to be understood by all. We should subject our mind to definite discipline as a probationary period for a definite activity in obtaining a set goal or accomplishment. Surely if we, the Senior Class of 1937, face this new school of ours —The World—with the determination to put our best foot forward with all of the energy we possess and keep the respect of our fellow men, success is sure to be ours. In closing, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1937, I wish to congratu¬ late and thank the editor and staff of the 1937 Modulus” for a most interesting and effective book. JOHN T. McCORMICK.

We’ll give a cheer, cheer, cheer, for Tri-State May she always stand the test, And may her sons who wear her colors, Always show themselves the best. And may the name of Tri-State ever, Make our hearts beat high with pride, For the glory of our College, We’re all for you—Old Tri-State!
