It is hardly probable that, in so larg

The “Greater Polytechnic is upon
us. Already she is commanding the
administration and loyal support of
thousands of Texas’ best citizens Ad-
rcadv she is a worthy rival of her com
petitors in all of the more important
activities of a modern college. Loya
Poly students, let us all join hands
in lifting Old Poly to the first rank in
thoroughness of scholarship, in clean
athletics, and successful intercollegiate
debating and oratory. The hand may
forget its cunning, and the foot may
lose its youthful activity, but we can
never forget our alma mater nor cease
to sing her praises.
As we go to our homes for the
Christmas vacation let us go bubbling
over with wholesome Polytechnic en-.
thtisiasm, and we can’t help from mak-|
inir our friends enthusiastic

sands of new friends for the college,
so here goes a “lift” for a greater and
more useful Polytechnic.

On the whole this concert was the
best attraction that the students of
Polytechnic have had access to tor a
long time and probably was of a better
quality than will appear soon in the
fUTTu* quality of the program may he
judged from the following:

It is now about time for 1‘resident
Boaz to give his semi-annual chapel
talk about persevering and continuing
until the end. It is strange that we
have not heard the familiar sarcastic
phrase, “Just gin out.’’ before this. Evi-
dently he has something else to do and
1 do not doubt but that we will hear it
soon.
Yet nothing is worth anything unless
it is worth repeating and drilling into
the minds of young pupils. If a school
can succeed in teaching a young per-
son not to give up, hut to persevere
unto the end, it has succeeded in laying
the best foundation for a thorough ed-
ucation. Therefore it behooves the
president and all those interested in
the students of Polytechnic to keep re
peating this injunction not to ‘just gin
out,’’ and say, “I can’t” with his or her
tongue lolling out. We know that it is
hard for some of us to keep on, but
we must, or be called failures. If we
fail in our first term examination, we
should be proud enough to try to re-
deem ourselves in the second term, and
not decide to stay at home after the
holidays. There is hardly anything
hard enough to say about a contemp-
tible quitter. I had rather he a chronic
grumbler than a backboneless quitter.
Let’.s all come hack after Christmas
and bring some one with us.
Miss Nettie Tillet, a former Poly
student from Abilene, where Mr.
Rosenfeld is now situated, accompanied
the violinist in the sixth number.
The decorations and seating was
managed by the M. (). B s, who are al-
ways ready and willing to lend their
services to anv laudable undertaking.
It is hoped that these musicians will
appear here again real soon, for we be-
lieve that we have just as good ex-
ponents of the Fine Arts as can be bad
anywhere.
