ALWAYS A WAY
There is always a way to rise my lad
Always a way to advance;
But the road that leads to Mount Success
Does not pass by the way of Chance;
It goes through the stations Work and Strife.
Through the valley of Persevere
And the man that succeeds while others fail
Must be willing to fay most dear.
For there's always a way to fail my lad.
Always a way to slide;
And the men you find at the foot of the hill
All sought for an easy ride.
So on and up though the road be rough
And the storms come thick and fast;
There is room at the top for the fellow who tries
And victory comes at last.
Richard Burton.
Some of the best sportmanship that
has ever been shown in Howard
Payne was shown last Monday morn-
ine at the battle of the gorillas mere
was plenty of room for some of the
boys on both sides to get angry but
there were very few harsh words said.
If the usual things follows there will
be better fellowship since the flag
fight than there was before it.
The other day in history class Miss
Shelton mentioned that Mrs. Roose-
velt had announced that there would
be no huge social affairs at the White
House for the next several months.
It looks like that if the First Lady
of the land can do without her soci-
ety that maybe there is room enough
for some of the rest of the people to
do without a few unnecessary things
and make a little saving in expenses.
The poet presents the age-old idea that the man who want to
do a thing can do it. He tells how there is always a way when the
person striving wants to do the thing bad enough.
Work and Strife how much our forefathers knew about
those two things. We are becoming mollycoddles that cannot even
see our way clear to do anything that does not give us the lime-
light or at least the admiration of a few. If a job is a little hard
there is always the persons who do not have enough stamina to last
)ut the fight. They admit themselves whipped while they still
have the opponent guessing as to wether or not there is a chance
f his winning.
"A nd the man that succeeds while others fail
Must be willing to pay most dear."
There is no doubt that the man who forges ahead of the
jroup must pay dear for whatever he does. He must break the
way for the lesser fellows to follow in his foot steps and receive
a part of the rewards for his labors. If that does not seem right
to you then listen:
"For there's always a way to fail my lad
Always a way to slide;
And the men you find at the foot of the hill
All sought for an easy ride."
Then the poet tells the difficulties that come in the life of the
man. He tells of the rough passages that must be weathered and
tells of the storms that will come thick and fast. But always:
"There is room at the top for the fellow who tries
And victory comes at last."
These wise boys that have been
telling us that the depression is about
over must feel a trifle off in the up-
per story now. Prosperity is just
around the corner of a circle.
Another thing that works good for
Howard Payne Is the Extension Ser
vice. Professors Havlns and Brooks
make many friends for the school as
they teach the teachers of the public
schools of the surrounding counties.
Advertising certainly pays so it is
no wonder that Howard Payne has
gone forward in the way that it has
during this period of normalcy. When
Inflation returns there should be rec
ord enrollment here.
WARNING!
After seeing the "Sign of the
Cross" the columnist wonders why
the people of today do not appreciate
their opportunities more. Nero did
not have much on some of us. We're
Just flddltn' around while opportunity
wears out his knuckles knocking
according to the chapel speakers of
the last decade. (That does not mean
tlat we've heard every chapel speech
for the last ten years.)
James Allen once said that "The
first step in discipline of the mind is
the overcoming of indolence." There
is little doubt that he is right but
there is still less doubt that it is hard
not to be indolent in spring weather.
The picnic the other day was all O.
K. At least one hundred and thirty-
five students went to the City Park
and about the rest of the student body
tried to catch the proverbial sand
man.
Students have been wanting to get
a paper before chapel on publication
day and many even go so far as to
tell a falsehood to get the paper ahead
of time. We are very glad that you
like the paper so well but from now
on there will be no papers allowed
out of the Jacket office until chapel
has adjourned.
AN APPROPRIATE GRACE
The little son of a minister had been
very naughty and as punishment he
was not allowed to eat with the rest
of the family and a small table was
set aside for him. On being given his
food at this table for the first time
the litle chap said very solemnly:
"Lord I thank thee. Thou hast spread
a table before me In the presence of
mine enemies."
THE LASSO A Student
Body Problem
Students there faces you today a
great problem. The problem is "What
will you do about the Lasso?" Is the
Lasso important enough to you that
you will give up other things in order
to buy it? Is it the thing that you
feel will make your year end up prop-
erly? These questions arc being asked by
the thinking students on the campus
and it is up to you to decide whether
or not the book will be published be-
fore the year is over. The Yellow
Jacket staff does not intend that you
should get the Idea that the book Is
not the most Important part of the
Spring term but we along with all
the rest of the student body want to
know what will be done. Is the Lasso
going to be published?
We as students can answer the
question. Talk up the Lasso. Get It
into the minds of each other. If we
can have a Lasso then let's get every-
one out of the tension that is slowly
tightening down. Make your decis-
ion and stand by it
When the next meeting is called
concerning the Lasso let's express our
selves and get Walker and his staff
out of the uncertainty under which
they are laboring today. The book
will only be what the student body
wants It to be so there is little doubt
that the student body will decide the
fate of the book within the next few
days at the outside.
BETTER THAN GOLD
We've heard of the height of this
and the height of that but the height
of politeness we insist is the follow-
ing sign:
"Kindly keep your hands off this
wire; it carries 20000 volts. Thank
you."
See "Girl Shy."
HOW TO WIN PREFERENCE WITH
EMPLOYER8
It looks like the chapel programs
for this last term will be plenty good.
A group of speakers are going to use
subjects chosen by students of the
Junior and Senior classes. If the stu-
dents cannot tell what they want they
should be pleased with almost any-
thing that does not disturb their calm.
A weather prophet says that a
shrinking ring around the moon
means rain. We wonder what a
shrinking around the pocket book
means?

McLEAN'S STUDIO
If you think that advertising is a
small profession or position read: "In
1929 more than 790 million dollars
were spent for newspaper advertising.
Newspaper subscriptions and sales
amounted to nearly 273 million dol-
lars. The total revenue of newspapers
amounted to more than one billion
dollars.
More than 300 million dollars was
spent for advertising in periodicals
other than newspapers.
24205 publishing and printing hou
ses turned out products valued at
more than two billion seven hundred
million dollars.
Newspaper work is not such a
small job after all. Not many indus-
tries that perform the complete cycle
of manufacturing can show the same
results.
These days are typically March.
Ever since the group returned from
Gatesville there has been a noticeable
amount of hot air circulating around
school. Peaden is really all here with
the gift of gab.
It seems a pity 'that the ones that
want to do something worthwhile are
the ones that are not able to do it.
If only some of the students had the
opportunity that many others have
there would be quite a difference in
the atmosphere around here. It is
probable that tne ones who do not
have the opportunity would be exact-
ly like the ones that do have it. The
person that has much' does not appre-
ciate it. The one that has little has
the greater appreciation in all things.
When executives need office help
they want someone who is trained to
do the work from the first day and
who has the broad knowledge of busi-
ness which will make his or her ser-
vices more and more valuable as time
goes by.
Because we have placed so many
young people in offices in the past our
school has built up a reputation
among employers. They know that
they can rely upon our recommenda
tions; therefore many of them call
us first when there is an opening.
While positions are by no means
plentiful through any avenue at this
time we feel sure that our Employ-
ment Department can give you a bet-
ter chance for a good position than
would be available to you through
your own efforts or from other
sources. The .Employment Depart-
ment of the Tyler Commercial College
and School of Business Administra-
tion is perhaps better known through
out the United States than the em-
ployment department of any other
school.

istration General Motors Automobile

Better than grandeur better than
gold than rank and title a thousand
fold is a healthy body a mind at
ease and simple pleasures that always
please. A heart that can feel for
another's woe and share his joy with
a genial glow with sympathies large
enough to enfold all men as brothers
is better than gold. Better than gold
is a conscience clear though toiling
for bread in an humble sphere doubly
blessed with content and health un-
tried by the lusts and cares of wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought adorn
and ennoble a poor man's cot; for
mind and morals in nature's plan are
the genuine tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
of the sons of toil when the labors
close; better than gold is the poor
man's sleep and the balm that drops
on his slumbers deep bring sleeping
draughts to the downy bed where
luxury pillows its aching head the
toiler simple opiate deems a shorter
route to the land of dreams. Better
than gold is a thinking mind that In
the realm of books can find a treasure
surpassing Australian ore and live
with the great and good of yore. The
sage's lore and the poet's lay the
glories of empires passed away; the
world's great drama will thus unfold
and yield a pleasure better tha ngold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home
where all the fireside characters
come the shrine of love the heaven
of life hallowed by mother or sister
or wife. However humble the home
nay be or tried with sorrow by
heaven's decree the blessings that
never were bought or sold and centre
there aie better than gold. Pine

If some of the boys on the campus
don't get a break with 175 new girls
around it would seem to point out
that there is little hope for them.
Beware ditching the old girl for the
new and then expecting to receive
the same treatment that you did be-
fore. This is not necessarily our
warning. Ask Miss MoChristy.
