PRINCIPAL TERRELL SPEAKS
 AT MEMS GET-TOGETHER

The "get- together for sailors and soldiers at the r. M. c. A. was prob ably more appreciated than ever Sun day because the churches being closed made the day somewhat monotonous to the boys. The lunch was served by the ladies of the First Congregational church, and there was no question about appreciation on the part of the participants; one could see the signs of gratitude as the ladies served with gladness these fine fellows of the ser vice
 Previous to the lunch the boys sang the popular songs with enthusiasm, ac- companied by the Swahn orchestra, and Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Norwich Free Academy made a brief and timely talk and as usual held the close attention of his audience. Among other things MT. Tirrell said:
 "Men, 1 want to tell you a secret. l came here some time since and so greatly enjoyed hearing you sing that I wanted to hear you again. It re- minds me of my college days, when the boys used to sing so heartily. My topic is What Makes a Man Worth While" I have thought great deal about this, and have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to measure the things that are lllS U6Sl AiulOSL SNSi lI11ll6 is interesting. You take a lump of coal and attempt to study it; you are lost in amazement as you think of the millions of years it has taken to make it. The study of flowers is very in- teresting, and the study of words and letters is very attractive. The letter A is full of interest as we attempt to trace it's history. The things that are most interesting cannot be meas ured: there is no scale that can meas ure the best things in life. You can not measure a mans courage nor a mothers affection. While we cannot measure them, we can appreciate them We greatly appreciate bravery in man and we can appreciate and do appre- ciate the affection that others have for us. There is no set of men who have a better shance than you have to develop the best that is in them whether you are a carpenter or a painter, or whatever you are, you can grow and develop in all that is best in manhood, and you can contribute your share to the worlds work"
 A very enjoyable innovation was the telling by each man from which state he came and for what his state was noted. One of the sailors publicly thanked the ladies fin behalf of the men in the service Many were the expressions of thanks to the officials of the "Y' as the men left the build ing, and there is no doubt that the fellows feel that when they come to Norwich the Y. NJ. c. A. is a home for them.
