, paper to print! 6tjr edition! on, but thai fact can be easily explained.
' You see we arc just common petfple and do jiot believe in being ex-
traviigant. We believe that what we have to say can be read just as
easy on the ordinary paper as it can on this fi^e ptap'er;that our* upper-
classmen. have been using. Of course, we want to give all satisfaction
to. our deiar belqv.qd readers, we wojild not h'avii them strain their most
Iprecious eye^silht for anything in the world. !
■ It is pUKjhgp©: and prayer that you will fiijd this paper cbnvferiient
to read. 'We: have doue our best hoping that we would pleasef and if
,we do not, pUr little heart will just break right in two pieces,- ' !

IfECESSITY OF AMBITION ., ; 'V
; Anibitioii is a consuming desire to achieve some object or purpose
m life. For example, a person wishes to gain distinction of influence,
i To gain this, he must have the ambitiop to achieve gome purpose'in
life. Ife myst have the will-power to' push ahead and keep climbing,
-the ladder of life after receiving the knock that the world may give
him. J._,r'' :
: Ambition is-as- iiecessary to achievement as a dynamo is : to a light
\plant. With no dynamo, there is no light; with no ambition, a person
must stay at-the foot of the ladder. .
If two boys, one with ambition and one without ambition, start in
: to school, the boy with ambition is. nearly always to be found at the
head of the class, while the one without ambition is at the foot. When
they finish school, the latter neVer .gets anywhere but stays at the foot

Ted and I left the old home town
cne morning bright and early, hound
for Mexico City to see the inaugu-
ration of their new president, Ortiz
Rubio. Ted. htj.cl his plane so that
made it possiblo for us to go by air
and it also inade the trip' j;he more
interesting. Ted is ap. air mail pilot
or a thirty-day furlough so that ex-
plains where the plane came from. ,
1 It only took us about six hours to
make the run to Mexico City. We
did not have to stop anywhere along
the way aud the route we took led
us straight to the city. We saw .some
very beautiful country on the way.'
Mountains, fertile valley, huge for-
ests, silvery streams, and many beau-
tiful cities but they slipped' by so
fast that I can/hardly describe them.
Upon arriving 1 in Mexeio City,
,our first thought ''was to see ' the
town. It' is a very old place but
there ; areseveral modern structures
there, among them an American col-
ony. The streets of, the city" are
very, narrow and dirty but this does,
not- keep the eity from being very
interesting.. We soon tired of wand-
ering around, so we started looking
for a hotel or Plaza. After a short
searcl> we found one. It. had a very
beautiful court in the center: of it,
flowers/ a fountain, and the such.
We got our rooms and then had sup-
per we started out to see the 'night-
life' of the city.
We walked down the street look-
ing for a theater , or, something of
that sort and found on^ It, looked
queer, being built pf stone resemb-
ling cobble'' stons.. The place was
very- beautiful; on!,the . inside,; 'be-,
ing- finished in many bright colors
anfi ^cuiious designs. The picture held
little interest for us as it was ,rath-
er silly so we tried to p'ass tho tiyio
away by trying to. understand: wMt
the Mexicans , were talking aboiit.

thing on that' OTder-: and" they .asked
us to join them. We did and soon
found ourselves in a very lively
place. In this place [ saw my first
bar and gambling house. The gam-
bling part of the club Was- very sim-
ilar to Monte Carlo, so our new
friends ..told us,. This made- it quite^
interesting, to u*. Wo noticed a
crowd of people iu ono corner of the,
building so wa wont.to see' what the
excitement was. It happened to be
a roulette wheel. That was ,a form

MoSt failure? in life are caused, not by the lack ol;. ability,' but by
the misdirection of ambition. If one analyzes1 life thoroughly, he will

\of life!. - ■; 11
" Ultimate happiness, is likely; to be. mofe abuiidant than the ever-
present, little joys of life; in other .words, the immediate pleasures,
such ,as going to the theatre, hating d^tes, 'and the like, soon become-

Is it true that every one who
graduates from college is a success?'
The answer Is in "the negative. I ,can
show many examples whei'e the col-
lege graduate was not a success^ Be-
ferring to, ,two graduates of one of
the, Youth's foremost colleges who,
studied law: one is now employed in
a filling station; -the .other' is a
cigar salesman. J. •' |
Th.e college graduate today eiJ
pects a white collar job, knowing,
that thp field of white collar jobs ia
crowded, Oiily an expert in his pro-
fession caii be sure of his job. The
average college .graduate is' given1
too much liberal training to be class;
ed as an expert. .V
■ Today,-' in/New,:York,' there' is- a'
great demand for brick layers, while.
in the Same city there are hundreds,
of'college graduates who cannot get
work. If the ' college graduate had
spent, less time and money , and had,
learned a useful trade, such as brick
l&ying, he would not be roaming the.'
streets Ioking for a white- collar job..
It might interest you to know that
when President/ Hoover graduated
from college, with an engineering de-
gree,'he took his first job as a cohu
