Mr.. George B. RoJke has accept
ed the position OF principal of a
school in Lancaster. The school
will open OF July %. We wish
him abundant success. Mr.. Rookie
declares that it is his in ention to
have a fiHe and complete university
education if it takes him until he is
40 years old to get through. His
determination is to teach four or
five years, then take course at
John Hopkins or the University of
Chicago, and then go through the
great German university at Leip-
sic. And he has the grit and brains
to do it too. His course at Awake
Forest proves that. Such boy de-
serves to succeed.
