Football Saturday.
The first football game of the season will be played on the athletic field
Saturday, and every student in Stetson
University should witness the game.
There is no student in the school, boy
or girl, who cannot afford the price of
admission, and it is a neglect of duty as
well as displaying false economy and
showing a niost deplorable lack of college spirit to stay away from the game.
Loyalty to and love for Stetson is the
best known characteristic of her student body, and the surest evidence of
this is the support of her athletics.
No disgruntlement, no prejudice toward or dislike for any one should
keep any one from joining hands with
everybody else for the welfare of the
team. The victory for Stetson means
more than the satisfaction of any
grudge. A long pull, a strong pud,
and a pull all together means victory.
The girls in the bleachers should be
given a voice. They, as well as the
boys should organize cheering clubs at
once, elect cheer leaders, and learn the
good old songs and yells of Stetson.
The people on the side lines can win or
lose a game. The inspiration of a
cheering, loyal crowd, has won many

son men and women are true blue.
They have stood by the white and green
in the past and they will uphold the
colors again this year.
It has been said by some one igno-
rant of the facts that Stetson never
cheers an opposing team. This is not
true and should not be so. When the
other fellows come on the field they
should be cheered and when they deserve it during the game.
The football management has done
its best to give Stetson a good team;
and every man on the team is determined that Stetson shall again have
the State championship. It belongs to
her by right of conquest, by right of
being the largest and best school in
the State, and the team will give it
back to us with the proper support.
Rah, rah, rah, we cheer for Stetson.
Hoo, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, ray
Always standing for the right
Always winning every fight
And we're going to win this football
game today.

Miss Gordon followed with a recitation,
in which she imitated the rapid talking
and peculiarities of a little girl. Miss
Gordon carried this out with a style
all her own, and it was enjoyed immensely by every one present. Mr.

Vice President Farriss, A.B., D.D.
Dr. Farriss, the "Grand Old Man"
of the University, is universally beloved by the student body, and especially
by the students who have come in con-
common sense, for this, in a large degree, is responsible for her sterling
worth. It teaches her that she is not
above the common people, and a gracious smile, which bespeaks sunshine
and happiness; never fails her. Then
she must not have that air of pomposity
which is, more than anything else, instrumental in making her unpopular
among her associates. If a girl is beautiful, intellectual and accomplished in
every way, yet has that air of "I don't
know you," then she is not ideal to
any man, let alone the college man
Also she must not be a flirt, and this
by no means implies that she is not to
be sociable. Every girl is held in less
though nearly every man will encourage her in it. Again, she must be original, not endeavoring to imitate. The
womanly ideal—to make toil tolerable,
leisure enjoyable, and life livable by being natural; this is so supremely precious that the college woman who risks
it for an attempt to imitate the activities of some person in high society, in
so doing robs herself of her most distinctive and valuable asset. The next
