THOUGHTS BORROWED BY YOUR PRESIDENT:
The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
L. P. Jenkins
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives in it.
Chas. P. Kettering
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its strength.
A. J. Cronin
Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day that must be done wehther you like it or not.

CLUB COLLECT
Keep us, Oh God, from pettiness
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed,
Let us be done with fault finding And leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight-forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common woman's heart of us all, and,
Oh, Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!
Mary Stuart

EMBLEM COLLECT
Give us, O God, a realization of what our Emblem stands for.
With its standards before us, may our lives be a little stronger and finer than yesterday.
May we weed out a little more of the
selfishness and greed that makes our lives petty.
Help us to see the beauty of the golden circle that binds ninety-one thousand women to higher ideals in these United States.
And, Oh, Lord God of Hosts, may we forget not the ideals of this symbol, the beauty of art, the need of knowledge, our responsibility to the business world, the opportunity to uplift and the ever increasing need to be kind.
