THfi ailJQicrnii T T. W. C. A. NOTES. ■‘Sach N*w Ywr’s Eve—^all by myself 1 tibisJc oi all thin^g X 49; 1 put bad ones on a abelf Aoxd the next day start all over xiew. And the New Year starts all smooth and fine, And yet 1 tow, 1 can’t explain Wby, when the bells of New Year I have to do it all again.” How typical this is of all of usl As we look back and recall our New Year’s resolutions of former years, tkow many of them have been carried «ttt? Why did we not live up to all Of th«m? What made possible the realization «f some and not all of them? Courage has been defined as the strength that carries us over the rough road; the power to face the day's woiic. In other words, courage forms the foundation and constitutes the “back'bone” of everything really worth while. Therefore, to courage should be attributed the praise for the realization of our former resolutions. How much courage had you planned to combine with your resolutions for 19227 We have often heard that "it is better to make no resolutions at all than to make them and not carry them out.” There is more truth than poetry is this statement, because a good resolution taken and unfilled unfits one for the next. So, now before we make a single New Year's resolution, let us consider carefully whether or not we possess the courage to carry it out. Courage is something we need every day. Courage woven into your 1922 resolutions for a bigger and bet ter Y. W. C. A. is going to add fresh enthusiasm and cause our association to approach the ideal. To conquer we must let our heels be at the command of today. Let us say to conscience "rouse up a steady mind and do that work now.” Then let us put that steady mind with a will into every “gob” that can carry on, whether it be serving on a Y. W. C. A. committee, upholding the principles of student government, learning a hard, uninteresting lesson or playing an unusually exciting game of tennis. Whatever our “job” be, let us “carry on” with courageous minds, for one person’s failure at his "job” may prove a cog in the wheel of the work of many. Therefore, may we be thoughtful and brave in the formation of our New Year's resolutions, and then may we carry them out fearlessly, always mindful of these four lines: "Present and Past my heritage The Future laid in my control; No matter what my name or age, I am the master of my soul." ]TM look back over the time lapsed betnreen the iStih of September and the 16th of PecembCT, 1921, and recall the things that interested you most, that influenced you much, that gave you the greatest joy, and fijoally, that hav« pir»v«d tJN* JROdt p;wA1»W|*— wb^thavytj^Win? Whatjptha# th« Y. W. Q, Ar {i}ayei4 itt ycttJ dw«l- opment? What has the Y. W. 0. A. meant to you? Whether the answer be “much” or "little”, there is still room for improvement. Thi» is the beginnixig «f a New Year. It’s the time for sdl of Us to see just where we are and what things we need to remedy in order to start the New Year right. The most satisfactory way of tak ing personal inventoriej^ is to a«k 9up- selve» personal questions. Was your Y. W. C. A. last fall the most uplift*- ing, influential, enthusiastic organiza tion in college? If not, why not? It should have been. Did you give to it the best you had ? May each of u* adopt a New Year’s cre^ for our Y. W. C. A. And may this b« th« creed: “I want my Y. W. C- A. to be the biggest thing in college- I want it to penetrate into every nook and comer, to influence every girl's Uf* spirit ually, morally, physically and men tally. I want its spirit to be felt in every phase of college life.” SALEM HELPS MOUNTAIN i MISSION, j A grateful letter of thanks fc-i Christmas boxes sent by Salem stu dents and faculty was received with pleasure. It was as follows: White Bluff, Tennessee, Jan. 4, 1922. Dear Salem Girls: I Happy New Year for you and Salem!

Wr snatchcd the “Ivoi-y soap” out at oncc putting it into use that very aftei - noon, as not a piece could we find p few hours earlier. The cunning little toys were hunf n the tree, which was 12 feet tall Some of the clothes were sold in our unique store and some given away. The pair of shoes went to a despsrate- 'y poor woman. Everything proved useful, and we all thank you ,?irls and everyone else who contributed not f nly for the gifts, but for the mis sionary spirit prompting the act.
