enjoyable time reading the book
MATT TALBOT written by Eddie
Doherty. 1t was published two years
ago, but it is still selling like mad,
because people just can't get
enough of Matt Talbot. The book is
published by Bruce, and costs $2.75

book to get the answer. predict

Hope
You can always learn something
new if you will lay aside yester-
days prejudices.
All Through
Congratulations to First Semes-
ter Graduates. Regardless of what
the boys say there is still a lot of
future in this world for anybody
who is willing to branch out and
do what some small souls say can
not be done. After you look over
the field, be sure to take a look
at the Church. God still needs d
mob of happy souls as Sisters,
Brothers and Priests. There is plen-
| ty of room for advancement with a
dandy security clause that starts
paying off as soon as you are done
breathing. Ii you like to travel,
join the foreign missions, but if
you like to stay at home, stay
right where you are but pray that
your father gets a raise.
Two Times
At first you begin telling time
and then time begins to tell on
you.
Coed News
No mouth no matter how large,
looks big when it it closed.
Shame Does Not Pay
Some record companies continue
to print suggestive pictures on
their album covers to attract buy
ers. No matter how much you want
the record, stay many dollars away
from it until the promotion boys
learn that Objectionable pictures
will not sell good records. ] shall
never recommend such records.
Go To Mass
1t has been brought to my atten-
ton that some of the boys and
girls who set out for Mass on Sun
days don't quite get there. Some
of them get so enmeshed in a lot
of activity on a Sunday morn or
early afternoon that they just don't
have time for Mass. Others meet
some of the gang who want them
t. practice basketball or something
and they get diverted. Mass first,
then other things after Mass,
please.
Class Distinction
Although class loyalty is won
derful school virtue, it should not
be carried too far. Some of the up
per-classmen never even give q
fIeeting look to most of the other
students who just didn't happen
to belong to their class. The strange
part of it is that in few years
when everyone who now is in
school happens to be out of school
things will be entirely different.
1t is a much better plan to devel-
op a school loyalty than class
loyalty. Start Monday and see how
many persons you can make happy.
tn-Retween Reading
That is exactly what magazine
reading should be. and each one of
us ought to be doing some of it.
There are many rather fascinating
articles that we ought to give an
eve to from time to time, so let's
get at it. Looking at pictures does
not require much intelligence. Al
though skipping some pictures is
the height of intelligence, but
reading still holds first place. Take
full advantage of the magazines
your parents permit into your
home.
Thought for the Weak
To be perfect liar one must
have a perfect memory.
