the will to come out at the top
and they did.
Christine competed in Renova-

dress from pair of old pants and
blouse from new material.
Florence displays her ability in
a bed making contest. She excelled
with the rank of first place.
Norvella won first place in the
oratorical contest. We would all
give her a pat on the back for
her record.
The larger group came upon the
campus Friday morning in time to
register for dinner. Most of the
activities had ended when they ar
rived, but they enjoyed walking
beneath the moss hung trees and
visiting old friends.
At 8 o'clock in Oakland Memorial
Chapel they witnessed an interest
ing program.
At the end of the program the
winners of the various contests
were given prizes.
We are proud of the honors that
our girls received.

SUCCESS

SOCCESS
It's doing your job the best you
can
And being just to your fellowman
It's making money but holding
friends
And staying true to your aims and
ends
It's figuring how and learning why
And looking forward and thinking
high
And dreaming little and doing
much
It's keeping always in closest touch
With what is finest in word and
deed
It's thorough, yet making speed
It's daring blithely the field of
chance
While making labor a brave ro-
nance
It's going onward despite defeat
And fighting strongly, but keep
ing sweet
It's looking up at the stars above
And drinking deeply of life and
love
It's struggling on with will to win
But taking loss with a cheerful
grin
It's sharing sorrow and work and
mirth
And making better this good old
earth
It's serving, striving through strain
and stress
It's doing your noblest-thats sue
cess.

now try to attract the point of view
1t has just defeated.
Undoubtedly, the Republican party
has made itself more acceptable tx
those who were going to vote for i
anyway. But, as the Wisconsin
jubilation dies down, the party mus
begin to wonder whether its rea
problem was not to make itself more
acceptable % those who are un'
decided.
Mr.. Willkie has made himself s
stronger pressure instrument in the
party by withdrawing as a candi-
date. Withdrawals of any kind are
sort of symbolic. 1t is always lit,
tie disturbing when a man reache:
abruptly for his hat. They wanted
him to go, but not that fast.
The Republican party has made
itself more purely Republican as 6
result Of the battle of Wisconsin
But the party purge" aspects Of
the Wisconsin primary, the bitter
complaints that Mr.. Willkie is real
ly Democrat" may boomerang
The party has peeled itself down te
its hard core, but, if it hopes to win
the election, it will now find that il
needs rapidly to reverse itself, to
purse up its lips and begin to make
cooing and seductive noises to those
very elements to which 1t has just
delightedly given the hotfoot.
1t needs to beat 'em and keep 'em
and, so far, it has only beat 'em.
Expects Discussion Soon.
Something tells me that somebody
is going to have a talk with Col
Mccormick one of these days, and
beg him, for Pete's sake, to stop
saying in his paper that interna-
tionalism was licked in Wisconsin
I can almost hear it. Don't say
that! It'll kill us! Write about
something else, for goodness sake!'
I will not fall out of my chair if
before two months have passed, ]
see friendly reference to Mr.
Wendell Willkie in the Mccormick
paper. 1t is going to occur to the
Republican top command that Col
McCormick's joyous hobby of forever
throwing people out on their ears
is not the way one wins elections
One wins elections by opening the
door and bidding them enter.
One chain of pro-Republican
papers is already editorially plead
ing with Mr.. Willkie to stick around
Unfortunately, the biggest anti
Roosevelt paper in America ran a
cartoon the same day, ecstatically
showing Mr.. w. with a sinner on his
eye. So at the moment, the invita-
ton Is not unanimous, and the pic
ture is somewhat confused.
Some Saw Danger.
Some of the more astute COM
mentators saw the danger of the
internal COP fight against Mr.. W.,
even before the Wisconsin primary
1t had occurred to them that to cut
the party down to something smaller
and something narrower might not
be exactly the best way to win an
election.
But 1t has been done, in a vast
excess of isolationist exuberance
Now 1t is the morning after, and ii
begins to occur to Republicans that
one wins at the polls with the help
of the votes of those who do not
quite agree with one, doesn't one?
1t will be a kind of Judgment or
