WORDS TO REMEMBER

"Plunge forward, onward and upward and achieve every-

thing you can in scouting and in life....Be courageous;

-+ee..Never let depression get hold of you. Rise above

it! Fight forward. Be everlastingly determined."

With these words, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg,

football mentor of College of the Pacific, poured out

his philosophy of life to the assembled Center-ites at

Wednesday evening's Court of Honor,

"Enthusiasm plus intelligence plus the ability to do

famed

hard work--those are the things that count. Don't for-

get it, young men, and you'll arrive concluded the

"Grand Old Man" who was Once conSidered a railure, "pat,

who proved to the world that he had the courage, the

determination, and the fight to come out on top.

The `speaker in white' may well have been attempting

to give us his sympathy, his encouragement, and his

will to achieve a high goal.

Perhaps, he was trying to tell us that what we consi-

der impossibilities are not as impossible as they seem.

After all, Coach Stagg, himself, achieved what may have

been to him impossible. hg

NEED TRAINED LEADERS

a

MAJOR REASONS FOR SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF COOPERATIVES

A. ADMINISTRATION

A cooperative must have properly trained adminis-

trative officers in order to function efficiently.

The history of the cooperative movement persistently

shows that success or failure was determined by the

quality of the leaders. Although the members form the

policies, the means of applying the policies rest en-

tirely in the hands of the administration.

Thus, strong capable leaders, possessed with fore-

Sight and intelligence, are prime requisites of all

successful cooperatives.
