He can be seen scurrying towards the library, the AVA lab, the art room, and various other cubby-holes in search of mater- ial which he needs in order to keep ahead of his class. A training student, after he discovers that the children are really not babbling mon- sters, can often be heard referring to his TRA1N1NG Somehow, as under classmen, this Hthingn called training seemed rather vague and Ou of our daily orbits, but with the advent OE our Junior year, training became a Very im portant part of our lives. In fact-it was life for four weeks. Training can be defined by underclassmen as That period when the upper classmen go into oblivion to appear twice a day, at lunch time and after the snack-bar has closed, To those who are participating in student train 'Y3 li if if class as, my kids.

A THOUGHT FoR THE FUTURE IT COULDN'T BE DONE Somebody said that it cou1dn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't, be he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed: Oh, you'll never do that, At least no one ever has done it g But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, just take off your coat and go to it, just start to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done, and you'll do it. -EDGAR A. GUEST. 49
