Mr. Seabrook’s Asylum presents
a pathetic, yet fascinating story1
of the author’s voluntary com-
mitment and stay in an Eastern
Dean Ander gave a short dis-
course Monday morning on
“Honor Thy Father and Thy
Mother,” based on Ephesians 6:
1-3. He pointed out that one of
the best ways in which to honor
our parents is to live a success-
ful, useful life. We students can
justify our parents’ faith in us,
and honor them by working to
the best of our ability while here

It is our duty to spe id more time in meditation ani

How many of us a^e poring over great authors1!
How many of us are reading great masterpieces and bi-
ographies? Where, where can we find a greater book of
life with its trials, temptations, tribulations, and how
these may be faced and conquered than in the Holy Bible?
' I fear that none of us is studying this Book of Books as
we should. Herein lies the key to life and how a success-
ful life may be attained.
Fellow students, let us sacredly pledge ourselves as
one unified body to give the BEST that is in us; to do
all that we do in the best manner possible. Surely, this
is our duty to God, to our fellow students as well as to
ourselves.
My final plea is that we may do our part as individual
students, and try to instill into the hearts of others their
respective duties.
Do let us give this much concentrated, prayerful
thought in the days which are about to unfold themselves
to us all.

LET’S SUPPORT OUR CAMPUS
ORGANIZATIONS
,
There is a tendency of students to come in late for
choir rehearsals lately; the basketball games are poorly-
attended; the student body has been a little slow to re-
spond to requests for payment on “The Growl” — these
and a few other little things tend to dampen enthusiasm
in extra-curricular activities, and make it hard for the
managers and directors of these activities to maintain
the standard of efficiency.
It would be well worth everyone’s time to contribute
articles to the Lone Star. You do not have to be a re-
porter or a staff member to submit material. If anything
worthy of mention happens, write it up and give it to
us. If you are; “poetically inclined,” or write amusing
little essays, by all means write them and give them to
us. The editorial above is a good example of what a stu-
dent can submit, to his and the paper’s advantage. After
all, the student body makes or breaks an organization.
Back up your organizations with your enthusiasm and
work and they will succeed; treat your organizations with
indifference and they are bound to fail.
brings to us a large variety of
events and absurdities of this
period. Neither does he forget to
describe his fellow-patients’ doc-
tors, his superintendents, the
daily routine — doctor’s exami-
nations, exercise, meals and sleep,
and occasional dances and other
amusements.
Next he tells of his shift to
“Hall Two” in February;. The
initial stages of his cure had pro-
gressed sufficiently to shift him to
this place, which was less of a
prison and more of a kindergar-
ten. He describes its atmosphere
as a queer combination of frater-
nity house and military barracks,
under the supervision of “Papa”
Duval, the he-spinister. He adds
that this place is not as interest-
ing as “Hall Four” because noth-
ing exciting ever occurred, since
the patients here had practically
regained normal mental health.
It is interesting to note his rapid
mental coordination, so that by
June he is placed into one of the
convalescent villas where he was
practically free. Now the author
presents the climax of the story;
he leaves the asylum, no longer
a drunkard, and, though, still lik-
ing to drink, able to tell himself
not to drink when he did not
want to.
In short, Asylum gives a first-
hand knowledge of such a mental
hospital — the existing condi-
tions, the inmates, the attend-
ants. Furthermore, it indirectly
gives the reader a good mental
picture of the author’s character:
a character that is worthy of
praise and one that can be an
example to the world.
The author has told the story
so vividly and so sincerely that it
will not be forgotten by any of
its readers. The conciseness and
the clearness of the book, with
its slight trace of sophistication
and a light amusing element
flowing throughout, tend to make
the book outstanding. Although
the occasional vulgarity tends to
detract from its beauty, the book
is, as a whole, highly interesting
and worthwhile.
ursday’s ahdVFriday’s convo-
cations subjects were on the futi-
lity and foolishness of cheating
on examinations. That cheating
is downright theft was clearly
shown by Dean Ander and Pres.
Kraushaar, while the value of go-
ing in to an exam honest, and
coming out honest has far more
value than an “A” crookedly
made.
Growl Staff Members
Are Busy
As soon as possible, the first
sixteen pages of The Growl will
be sent in for publication. The
division pages are supposed to be
finished as soon as possible, also.
Before long, the pictures will be
ready to be pasted in, as all sopho-
mores have had their’s taken, and
the freshmen are partially finisn-
ed with theirs.
Members of the staff are busily
securing pictures of the faculty;
securing information as to what
l each prof, teaches, listing their
i degrees, etc.
i James Blanton and Franklin
| Behrendt are printing the borders
I for the first sixteen pages. All
j in all, work on the Growl seems
i to be progressing rapidly.

JOY
Awake to the joy of living
Awake to the joy of song
Awake to the joy of giving
Awake to the joy of morn.
Sleep to the grief of tomorrow
Think only of the today
Forget everything in its sorrow
Awake! Awake and be gay.
Joy is the rejuvenating power
Grief the degenerating one
Notice not the dismal showers
See only the brilliant sun.
Keep this lesson in your heart
As you journey along through life
It will play an active part
In all your joy and strife.
—Hulda L. Knipling.
