lives of our youth who
are living now and pre
paring to render better
service. Surely, the call
of this group of older men
and women who have
never been able to pre
pare themselves as they
ought should appeal to
our people. Our men sac
rifice, some go hungry,
just for the privilege of
preparing at Gardner-
Webb.
An investment in this
worthy project will pay divi
dends throughout the years
in enriched lives and finer liv
ing.

Get The Habit
Of Happiness - -
Dr. Frank Crane spoke
much of a parable when
he said: “Get the habit!
For happiness is largely
a matter of habit. Abe
Lincoln hit the nail on
the head, with his usual
accuracy, when he said:
T have noticed that folks
are generally about as
happy as they have made
up their minds to be.’
There may be something
in temperament, in your
natural born disposition.
Some people seem to eat
gloom, but as in the case
of children who suck
their thumb or stutter,
it is habit mostly. There
may be something in cir
cumstances. It seems
hard to be happy when
you can’t have another
piece of pie, when the girl
you fancy does not fancy
you, when there’s a boil
on your neck, or when the
boss will not raise your
wages. Still many are
happy under distressing
conditions, and many oth
ers are wretched though
full of food and all dress
ed up. It’s habit. Religion
ought to produce happi-

of worK (some people omit
this ingredienc, and so spoil
the flavor ol tne rest), eight
01 hope, seven of tidelity, six
of liberality, five of kindness,
tour 01 rest (leaving this out
IS like leaving tne oil out of
the salad—do not do it),
three oi prayer, two of medi
tation, and one well-selected
resolution. If you have no con
scientious scruples, put in
about a teaspooniul oi good
spirits, a dash of fun, a sprin
kling of play, and a heaping
cupiul 01 good humor (the
proportion oi the ingredients
may be varied to meet the
needs of the individual).
Pour into the whole, love
“ad libitum” and mix with a
vim. Cook thoroughly in a
fervent heart; garnish with
a few smiles and a sprig of
joy; then serve with quiet
ness, unselfishness, and cheer
fulness, and a happy new
year is a certainty.

K. K. Us Entertain
In Honor A. R. L/s
“I’m Dreaming of a White
Christmas” was the theme in
everyone’s heart at the party
given by the K. K. L.’s on De
cember 12 in honor of the
A. R. L.’s.
As we walked into the
Community Club House, we
stepped over a huge wreath
of holly, , immediately we
walked up to a glowing fire.
There were Christmas con
tests and special music. Then
the refreshments were served
with a background of peace
ful music. With the farewells
over everyone went on his
merry way with “I’m dream
ing of a white Christmas,”
on each heart again.
W. A. A.’S HIKE
TO BROAD RIVER
It was very cold on the
morning of December 15
when alarm clocks began to
ring at six o’clock in the girls
dormitory. Twenty-five W. A.
A. members dressed quickly
and went quietly down stairs
for hot cocoa and doughnuts
before beginning their hike.
The W. A. A. council had an
nounced the hike a few days
before but the cocoa and
doughnuts were a surprise.
The girls walked to the river
and back before breakfast.
When they began to get tired
they sang Christmas carols
which put “pep” in the hike.
At seven-thirty they were
back at the dormitory, ready
for breakfast.
HONEST EDITOR
The editor of a country
newspaper retired with a for
tune. When asked the secret
of his success, he replied:
“I attribute my ability to
retire with a $100,000 bank
balance after 30 years in the
newspaper field, to close ap
plication to duty, pursuing a
policy of strict honesty, al
ways practicing rigorous rules
of economy, and to the recent
death of my uncle, who left
me $98,500.”
