Elon College, N.

The various positions are being hotly contested and as yet it is very problematical as to who will make the varsity squad. The pitching force this year is excep tionally strong, with Barron, At kinson, Malone,,and Rand doing the best work perhaps. Ralph Thompson an eastern Carolina lad and Joyner are the most prob able candidates on the receiving end of the line. Ingle and South ard are working head and neck together on first, white Johnson, Poythrena and Woods are scram bling around second. Five mem bers of last year’s team are out every day for practice. They are Howman, Dickey, McCauley, and Johnson, and with these as a working basis, the prospects seem very brigh^-. Manager the: pjeming has arranged a strong schedule and is very optiraistic N. C.

Docs it PayV Many people, ah, far too many perforin their tsisks in a half* hearted careless manner, and y^t" seem to “get oh in the world" ‘ and hold th% positions, s^ming- ly better sometimes thett those who are iiiore concientious, but do you think .it pays? By no, means. ;No one ever shirked' honest obligations and retained their self-respect and no one can' lose their self-respect and long retain that of others, Thefe are many w'ho have won fame and '• fortune which they did not de- serve,. and enjoyed it for aytime y but none have escaped a time of reckoning. It noiattersiiot wsthe^. that reckoning comes in the sight- 6f men dr before’the All-wise Maker of men. Today perhaps you are an employe at the beck and call of other riien, yet you ^ are master of your own destiny, ‘ What you do now, and how you do it shall deterftiitte w^ will be tomorrow. Be not afraid to do your work well nor to ac complish all of it that you can. It will pay. True there are peo ple who are glad to recMve it matters not how much for as small wages as possible. If you , are working-* for isuch, stay no longer with them then possible" but while you are do ycJur levd best. Tliey may congratulate themselves on what they are re ceiving, but you are really re ceiving more. You are laying the foundation stones for some thing that can never be theiri. Sowing seeds of selfishness and greed in the soil of life. They « shall reap but a harvest of weeids., Aim high ! hit the mark and ■iraise it. Despise no ring of the y- ladder by which you ascend. ; ^Thoroughness, conscientious-^:. ness, tact, sy stem dependablness. are keys which wlU open th^sy doors of good reputation and ' character. Perhaps there is someone near you who is just drifting along , working in a half-way mariner, and doing as little of that as pos sible, no high aim, a questionable character, yet apparently gaining more then yourself. Never for get, for a nioment, the time will come though it -may be a long' time coming but it will come nevertheless, when the penalty must be paid. Don't be satisfied 5viththe thftig that shows only on thesurface, it does’nt pay. God wants our best. Do not be tempted to travel the half-heart ed slip-shod'way because somieone else is. It is easy to go with the Cl rrent, and hard to go against it, the direction that we take is in a sense a test of strength or w'eakness. k matters not what cur occupation is so long as it is an honest one, but it dw s matter a great deal if vve do our . v/ork well. \ y.. . ■ ' Ruby Evemn. ■Ii r'm Literary Address at Graded Scbool.
