If you are thrifty you will thrive.
You will lose some friends you will
be better of without, and you will
gain few that will help you play the
game. Make your ideals big enough
to make them worth striving for.
When they are big enough to let 9th
ers know that you are after more than
the ordinary they will wag their heads,
and you will dig in and show them.
You are never up to your best until
you are going the limit. The very ne
cesslty Of the case drives you to more
determined effort, and the effort calls
forth ability neither you nor your
friends ever dreamed you had And
the best part Of 1t all is that every
