EDITORIAL
One month of this school year has
passed. The new students have been
very busy acquainting themselves
with the various phases of college life.
By this time we are all fairly ac
quainted with each other and the dif
ferent organizations on the campus.
Let us stop and think for a moment.
What does all this mean ? It means
that we are living in a new environ
ment, as one might say, in a little
world to ourselves. We are learning
to lie together as one big family and
not as individuals, each in a world all
to himself. As we must live together,
we must learn to work together for
the best and common good of our
neighbors and friends.
There may be those among our
number who are discouraged. Then
as members of one family, should we
not encourage these persons who
seem to be all "down and out"?
We are largely what our environ
ment and training have made us. But
what we've got to remember is that
we are a part of the "environment"
of the folks around us. We can't just
sit back and say we haven't anything
to do with the people with whom we
come in contact.
People are watching you every day!
If you're on the level yourself the
other fellow knows that's what you
believe in. If you're a worker, maybe
he'll take a brace and do some hust
ling himself. And if you show him
you think he is worth helping, per
haps he may try to prove that he is
worth it.
If a man is going wrong and you
know it, do you believe in sticking
to him if he will not try to go right?
We often hear fellows say, "Right
or wrong. I'm with you three hun
dred and sixty-five days in the year!"
Have you ever said that to a fellow?
A good many fellows who get in
wrong aren't really always to blame.
For one thing, you don't know how
a man has been brought up. Maybe he
has been taught to side-step and
shirk. Well, give him a chance to
learn something better. So it is, that
we are largely what our environment
and training have made us. A fellow
may be down and out, or seem to be,
because of hard luck. But there isn't
any crime in that. He may be dis
couraged about his work—his daily
lessons. A person who is discouraged
generally doesn't do good work and
so he goes on from bad to worse.
Give him a good taste of success and
it puts new life into him. If some
thing you have done has helped him
to get that taste, well, it was worth
trying, wasn't it?
Let us look about us and help the
fellow who seems to be all discourag
ed. Imbed in his memory that one
flash doesn't make a successful career
in any thing, any more than one vic
tory wins a war. But the trouble
with a great many people is that they
think it does. They can't see that
you've got to fight every battle just
as hard as the one you happened to
win. It is work that wins! Not wor
ry, mind you, but hard work. We
learn to understand human beings by
rubbing shoulders with all kinds of
men and women.
Though difficulties arise, let's be
cheerful and try to live above them
and make every difficulty a stepping
stone to greater success.
Friends of Guilford College have
now been able to see Coach Doak's
football outfit in operation. It is true
that the team did not win, but at
least it did not lose. Every man who
stayed in the game any length of
time fought manfully. The strenuous
work that Coach Doak has put the
team through in preliminary practice
was in evidence. The squad has been
working hard, and as a result has be
come fairly well organized, and
trained. The foot ball squad then has
done its best. What has the student
body done?
Up to the present time no effort at
organized cheering has been made.
No "yell leaders" have been elected.
The new students have had only two
or three chances to learn college
songs and yells. These new students
have expressed a willingness and a
desire to use their lung power for
their institution. It is now obvious
that the older students have fallen
short of their obligation to the new
students, and to the College.
Let a yell leader be elected, who
will. organize the whole student body
into a unit to support our team, and
our college.

I THOUGHT OF YOU, MOTHER.
"A boy who afterward became gov
enor of the state of Massachusetts
once came near being drowned. The
ship in which he was sailing was
capsized, and he had to swim more
than a mile; but finally he reached
the shore in safety, when he reached
home and told his mother what a
long distance he had to swim, she
asked him how he managed to hold
out so long. "I thought of you,
mother; replied the boy, and kept on
swimming. The thought of mother
helped him in the moment of his
greatest need and thus saved his
life, not only to himself and to his
mother but also to the state and to
the nation.
