ed. For instance, hardly knew
Walter Myrick before this club was
organized, and ! believe this applies
70 every other member. This friend
ship alone has made Rotary worth
while to me.
They overlooked one feature when
they elected me as next president,
and that is that the president should
be a wcll-informed man This fact
was illustrated the other day when
a lady came into Walters store and
insisted on having a private inter
view with him. She said that where
she came from, ! think il was Dallas
or Abilene, when they wanted some
one punished or wanted some reform
brought about, all they had 10 do
was 20 notify the head Of the Ku Kluy
Khan. She wanted TO know Of Walter
who the head Of the Khan was in this
city. When he told her he didn't
know. she said Well, If you are that
ignorant, III just go ask someone
else
! shall cndeavor to turn this club
over 10 the next president in as good
condition as Walter Myrick turned
IL over 20 me There shall be no
standing committees this year, but

Walter Myrick, the outgoing
president Of the Rotary Club. is
for the Rotary Club in
Lubbock. He has built up a club,
instilling in the minds Of the mem
beers the Rotary code Of ethics
which cannot help but make a man
better in his home, his business,
and for his town.
The good that Walter has done for
Lubbock by the organization Of the
Rotary Club cannot be measured by
usual standards Ii is very notice
able that the men who are members
just do things better than they used
to. II is good to get your feet under

with him. II is human nature 10 20
