When a High school gradu
ate goes off to college, he or
she must do a lot of adjusttng.
And if you were regarded as an
outstanding student for one rea
son or another, back In your
home town, your adjustment
problem isn’t less but greater.
The student who stood out on
his or her local campus be
cause of scholastic excell
ence, athletic .ability, or social
background, will often find that
it’s much harder to get

recognition higher up the
ladder.
To be whittled down to size
Is never a pleasant experience,
and It can come as a severe
jolt when you discover that
among the thousands of young
people at your college or uni
versity there are some just as
smart or even smarter than
you are.
You may have been the best
looking, best dressed boy or
girl In your senior class, but
off at school you may be hardly
noticed in the crowd. This
sort of thing will be a blow to
your vanity, but It won’t be a
disaster unless you permit it to
be.
Being bitter or resentful of
the fact that you’re one among
many isn’t much help. For the
first time in your life, per
haps, you are getting a glimpse
of what the majority of your
classmates experienced in
High school while you were
basking in the limelight.
If you’re made of the right
stuff, you’ll become a better
human being. Having seen how
it looks on the other side of the
street, you’ll become more un
derstanding. In your own dis
appointment, you’ll realize that
the world is crowded with peo
ple who need comfort and en
couragement.
Just as important,you’llface
up to the fact that physical at
tractiveness and superior in
telligence won’t win you last
ing friends and success if you
lack personality. All of us can
take the first step toward
being personable by practic
ing the Golden Rule,
Experience shows that
success is due to less to ability
than to zeal. The winner is he
who gives himself to his work,
body and soul.—Charles
Buxton.
To love to preach is one thing,
to love those to whom we
preach, quite another.—Cecil.
The praises of others may be
of use in teaching us, not what
we are, but what we ought to
be.—Hare.
I hate all bungling as I do sin,
but particularly bungling in
politics, which leads to the
misery and ruin of many
thousands and millions of
people.—Goethe.
Whoever pays you more court
than he is accustomed to pay,
either intends to deceive you or
finds you necessary to him.—
Courtenay.
Pleasure is very seldom found
where it is sought. Our brightest
blazes of gladness are com
monly kindled by unexpect^
sparte.—Samuel Johnson.
Admiration is the foundation
of all philosophy; investigation
the progress; and ignorance the
end.—Montaigne.
Those who have not risen to
the level of patriotism are not
likely to rise to higher levels.—
Peny.
No error of opinion can
possibly be dangerous in a
country where opinion is left
free to grapple with them.—
Simms.
There is a vast difference in
one’s respect for the man who
has made himself, and the man
who has only made his
money.—Mulock.
In adversity assume the
rountenance of prosperity, and
in prosperity moderate the
temper and desires.—Livy.
Some of the best iessons we
ever learn we learn from our
mistakes and failures. The
error of the past is the wisdom
and success of the future.—
Tryon Edwards.
My mind to me a kindgom is;
such present Joys there in I find,
that it excells all other bliss that
earth affords.—Chaucer.

make the pellets inedible and
bring about a crisis. To say it
created a crisis is putting it
mildly.
Like every cook on a sailing
vessel, this cook had a pig on
board to fatten up on garbage.
When nobody ate the beans, it
meant a bountiful meal for the
hog.
Eating his fill—soda and all—
the pig started swelling, and he
kept on swelling for days. He
got so puffed up that his eyes
closed completely, and instead
of grunting he sighed softly
every now and then.
Everybody but the cook knew
what was wrong, and telling
him was out of the question. He
vvas just about as pathetic as the
pig, as he tried to console the
critter and nurse it back to
health. Through some miracle it
lived.
Yes, Captain Joe had a
million memories of the sea—
some tragic and some
humorous. In the sunset of life,
at North Wilkesboro, he sat on
his porch and told wonderful
tales to the boys and girls who
flocked to his home in admiring
anticipation.
It was a nice way to cross the
bar into eternity.
