Eugene OIander of Topeka High
School Is President.

The boys who are now attending
high school will take the leadership Of
the country in a few years, Clyde C..
Hartford stated in an address at the
morning session of the Topeka ana
Shawnee County Older Boys Christian
conference, which is being held at the
First Presbyterian church today.
BOYS must first look ahead and
then get there" he said. THE world
will be disappointed if the high school
boys are unable to take the leadership
which will be thrust upon them in a
few years. A boy must get there
first in his own life before he can get
there first in some other persons life
IF I only had a chance L hear many
fellows say The fellow that makes
the chance is the one that makes
good A fellow does his best when he
is handicapped because he takes stock
of himself and then does the thing.
THE fortunate boy is the boy with
out the fortune. ! have seen many
boys fail because dad let them use
money too freely. I hear many boys
say If I only had time Boys should
learn how to use their time. I hear
boys say, If l had a pull The boy
who gets a position thru pull is very
seriously handicapped. He not only
has to make good to his employer but
to the fellow who got him the job. 1t
is not pull that gets you there but the
stuff i'm you. II a fellow never gets
there first during his high school ca
reer. he never gets there first when
attending college. Jesus Christ is the
coach that never lost a game"
