have been surprised thai 1 have done
pretty well. But let me say that the

acceptive of me. They have
appreciated my efforts to make good
grades."

for the supportive efforts of the PSU
professors in die Department of
Business Administration and
Economics, particularly Dr. Douglas
Schetl and OUie Bishop
The more I found out, the more I
wanted to learn," she said. The secret
to her success as a student?
"Dedication and hard work," Mrs.
Cook replied. She agrees that making
good grades is not so much I.Q. as "I
do." She also agrees with PSU
Chancellor Joseph Oxendine that the
harder you work, the luckier you get.
