THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 IT IS THE HUSTLER WHO WINS (Continued from page 1) the proper appreciation of money. We have often heard the saying that “money talks.” Money has many interesting things to say to different people, be cause money and manhood and womanhood are closely linked together. Every piece of money re presents the stored up life of the person who earned it, and because of this fact money should be considered a sacred thing. The whole world of action is controlled by the way we spend money. If spent for useful and constructive purposes it creates good things. If used for destructive purposes it will shipwreck the hopes and lives of others. There are four relationships that all of our young people should have toward money. First you must earn it honesty and beware of short cuts. Stealing time is just as bad as stealing money. No young fellow will amount to anything if he gambles and cheats for the sake of getting along in life. Sec ond—spend it wisely. When expended for any pur pose we should get a 100-percent return—not a 25-per- cent return. Third, invest it prudently; laying some thing aside for a rainy day is absolutely necessary, and more of our people would be independent if during their younger days they had been a little more careful about saving and investing in good securities. Fourth, subscribe to proper causes. No one has much use for a tightwad, and the giving of money is just as much of an occupation as the science of earning it. We wish to impress upon each one of our boys and girls that regardless of the fact whether or not the money he or she may have has been either earned or inherited, his or her character is made or marred and success largely shaped by the way the money is spent. In conclusion, let us remind you that you can be what you want to be. We all stand aside for the determined boy or girl. We never concern ourselves very much about a boy or girl with low aims except to get them out of the way. Have a high purpose and lose no time in adopting it. Commence right now to put your high purpose in action. Conquer every obstacle that may confront you here at Chemawa this year. Get into the habit of conquering. If you are determined to progress and go through this year with out yielding, and keep up this conquering habit, you will take your place finally with that splendid number of men and women who are the backbone of America, no matter who you are or where you came from. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Hello, Everybody! We Juniors had a narrow escape Monday. The roof began leaking and we surely thought we were going to be drowned, but Mr. Mason was called to rescue us, and we are back here to interest you once more. No doubt there will be more noise with our feet going on in the Domestic Art Department and not so much with our mouths. Notice the stoggies on the Juniors when it rains. We find we are not only one class of girls, but three classes; the athletic, for instance, look at Edith Gorr. Dramatic, another class, for a fair example we give you Elsie Adams. Ingenue, the fairest of all is Violet Mahone. We have also discovered the different colors we can wear which livened or deadened us. By Monday we hope to have our uniforms more at tractive by adding the green collars and cuffs that give life to the dress. Be patient, we will have them fin ished yet. We remain, T he I ndustrious J uniors , SENIOR NOTES The Seniors have been loyal to our grand motto, “Victory,” for we’ve won every football game so far. Our friends, the crows, are returning. Yesterday two of our Seniors sighted a flock of crows flying near Pigville. The Senior girls entertained the Senior boys at the school building on the night of Hallowe’en. We served coffee, doughnuts, and sandwiches, and we all had a jolly time together. The Senior Class is very enthusiastic about their lost treasure, “Our Pennant.” If anyone finds it, please call at room 17, North Dormitory of McBride Hall, and a big reward will be given. The Seniors are studying now about operas. Last week Willamette Blakeslee gave an interesting story on the famous opera, “Faust.” Mrs. Turney, our instructor, makes the lessons very interesting. The students were much interested in the excellent talk Mr. Fisher, our botany teacher, gave us in the auditorium on Wednesday. We like to hear things that are of some interest and we hope to hear from him again soon. The senior basketball team has been organized, and we hope to have some team this year. We know we will, because our rooting, singing and yelling will not fail to be heard, which will encourage the team all the more.
