GIVE THANKS
It has been oyer three hundred
years since our Forefathers met for
what is now recognized, nationally,
Thanksgiving Day. Many things have
come to pass since that first Thanks
giving Day. We have been through
wars and have always come out of
them victorious. We have been
through periods of discouraging ecp-
nomic conditions, and economic free
dom has been won. We have con
quered! Have we'; given thanks for all
the glorious achievements that Amer
ica has accomplished?
It seems that we Americans are
living in such a fast age tjiat we are
slow to think and to ' -eally thank-
seem to take things, in a matter-of-
fact way without stopping to think
where they come from. If ever a
people had reason to be thankful, we
Americans are the people. We have
,pjo}:or ca.rs, telephones, radios, a won
derful educational system, and every
luxury that anyone could ask for. We
are living in an industrial and educa
tional age where everyone has .an
equal chance for advancement. Our
progress as a nation comes chiefly
from our belief in the right of allow
ing every body to develop all of his
ambitions. Let us think of the" faith
and character which our Forefathers
bequeathed to us and we will then be
in a mood for giving thanks to God
for the many blessings we have en-
.ioyed.

A LIE
WEAVER DEFEATS
RUTHERFORD FOR
STATE TITLE
(Continued from page 1)
tackle for a run of 30 yards and their
second touch down. Before the half
was over Weaver had scored one
touch down, by Vinson, but failed to
make the extra point. The half ended
with the seore 13 to 6 for Ruther
ford.
At the opening of the second half
a new Weaver team was seen in ac
tion. Rutherford could not gain on
any of their plays. Weaver’s line held
beautifully. By the end of the third
quarter Weaver had scored her tying
touchdown. This was made by Jor
dan, on a pass from Robinson! The
frolden Tornado jwas the complete
master of the Ramblers this half. An
other touch down was made, through
tiic ime, luji itooinsou.
Teague made several pretty runs. As
the final whistle blew Weaver wgjs on
Rutherford’s one yard line.
The credit for this game must not
go only to the players; some of the
credit must also go to the body of
students and the members of the fac
ulty, who were on hand to show their
support of the team. The victory def
initely gave the State Junior College
championship to Weaver for the sec
ond consecutive year. Coach Talman
is the man behind this great team and
to him is due the credit of its fine
record so far. This game was Wea
ver’s 16th straight win.

UPSHAW SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
(Continued from page 1)
world stands ready to welcome a win
ner. With our advancing nation de
pending upon you as the leaders of
tomorrow you must be winners. Make
use of every opportunity; fight for
what you stand for with all that is in
you—and, you will win. There are
four cardinal qualifications for win
ners: first, a genuine love for the
genuine; second, worthy ambition;
third, contagious enthusiasm; fourth,
faithfulness to God. Don’t be counter
fit men and women because you won’t
have a genuine love for that which is
ijenuine. What does a man get if he
is “sham?” Be sure the world will
find you out.
“Students, where does one get, who
•does not have an ambition to do that
which is great and good ? Self de
termination and ambition are two
great factors in winning. Don’t be a
slacker; don’t be discouraged, never
give up. Don’t let any obstacle how
ever great or small, stand between
;you and "the realization of that which
you stand for. Be determined that
you will realize the ambition you de
sire, and ask God’s help, and you will
yourself. Be faithful, boys and girls,
and ask God to be your guide in all
that you do. Those pf you who are not
Christians, let not the sun gp .down
this day until you have accepted
Christ as your Savior. When you dp
this you will find ypur gpal mpre
nearly reached each day.’’
Mr. Upshaw then gave us a brief
sketch of his life in which he told las
of the struggle which he had had in
order to win.
When a boy of 18 years of age on
a Georgia farm Mr. Upshaw received
an injury which rendered him a crip
ple for life. He was in bed seven
years, but never gave up hope of at
taining his ambition. Members of his
family aided him while in bed so he
carried on his “bit” by writing for
newspapers and periodicals. Finally
he was able to leave the bed and go
around in a wheel chair. By the time
he was thirty years of age he was
able to put himself in college. Later,
he was elected as Congressman from
the State of Georgia, and served as
such for eight years. Honorable Up
shaw said, “If one Georgia boy can
win by overcoming the greatest hand
icaps every boy in North Carolina can
win, and remember this motto: 'I
won’t quit school until I am through.”
“The work being done in the small
church college,” continued Mr. Up
shaw, “Is one of the greatest works
n the world. Students can have more
contact with each other and with the
faculty than they can in the larger
colleges. Every student in this little
Christian College should write home
to all your papers and tell what a
very delightful place it is.”
Honorabl Upshaw closed his ad
dress with a story of Walter Johnson
one the greatest baseball heroes, who"
won a baseball game by self determ
ination to win, notwithstanding two
previous tragedies. “Walter Johnson,”
said Mr. Upshaw, “was a home-lov-
ing God-loving man who thought not
of self, but of others. He was a win
ner worth emulating.”
