‘TO THE JUNTORS

Following tradition here at State,
it has been given to us as junior mem-
bers of the " News" to present to the
student hody one issue of the college
paper. We have done our hest to give
an issue which will come up to the
standards set by the official board.
How well we have succeeded remains
to he scon. In its rough state the

material is before us; to us belongs
the task of presenting it in a finished
form. And it is not without a cer-

in pride that we have neared the
completion of our task, Pride in the
achievement of our end and pride in
heing able to serve our Alma Mater.
To the junior class we have given
this issue, for this week marks the
most brilliant spot in the earcer of
the class of '26. ‘The opportunity has
come when as juniors we asa class
can add our link in the chain which
binds proms and funcheons forever
with the traditions of State, Our
part in publishing this issue of the
“News” is but a small one among
the activities of the week, but it forms
part of the chain and we have tried
to form our link as strongly as the|
rest, i

‘To our freshmen sisters and bro-
thers we have attempted no advice
but rather we have given them oppor-
tunity to strike for themselves that
they too, when two years have rolled
around, may work with pride and
success for State,

‘To our class, the class of '26, we
wish success, success in the achieve: |
ment of greater and better things that]
in years to come those who enter
these halls may hear of and remember
the deeds of the class of the blue and

THE FLUNK

‘The person who flunks js not neces
sarily stupid or luzy, nor is the one
who obtains a high mark brilliant o
a grind,

‘The students in Dr. Croasdale’s
freshman classes can prove that to
you. Examinations, for which so
much mid-night electricity is wasted,
‘are not so much a test of your infor-
ation gained from hooks, the proofs,
of mathematical theorems, which have
to he memorized, historical facts of
seemingly little importance or a hand~
ful of scientific names. ‘They are
ost of all a training in’ self-control,
Jn the days of the Stone Age, Adam
kept his mind in running order by
planning ways to dodge some dino-
ir—to-day we have examination

We have learned much more from
college than lessons from hooks. We
have learned to adant ourselves to a
new and different environment, to
make friends, and to learn to respect
others’ rights and property. If we
have our pet course, we have gained
more from that than from the one
we expect to flunk. If you get a D,
or a Munk, don't be discouraged—it
is just a lesson you have learned.

RIBUTE TU MISS MARTINEZ

‘Tribute to the lute Miss Frai cescu

ber of Spanish department facuity,
is paid by Dr, Brubacher in his report
to the trustees. Miss Martinez died
this summer while teaching at Middle:
bury College, Vermont. ‘The presi
lont says:

" Miss Martinez was a teacher of it~
hounded enthusiasm, To her, her
profession was a continual joy. She
gave herself devotedly to her work.
Her influence on her students was
magnetic. She was a thorough
icholar, an inspiring teacher, holding
herself to the highest standards of
work. Many warm friends mourn her
and the entire student body feels a
dlistinet loss."
