Friday Afternoon, April 26, 1946 The Battalion ' : i, i; i; Page 3 PENNY’S SERENADE By W. L. Penberthy Last fall I officiated in an im portant Southwest Conference foot ball game that won by a close score. In performing my pre-game duties, without paying any attention to the teams warm- i n g up, I couldn’t help but sense that one of the teams seem ed a little more alert, a little more ready, and a little sharper. That team won the game. I always get a big kick out of a Penberthy fine performance of any kind be cause I know that someone had to pay the price in planning and hard work to get things ready. Too oft en we just accept these things without realizing what it took in the way of preparation. We acquire the habit of being ready by doing, to the best of our ability, each days work as it comes along. In this way we gain self- confidence and the confidence of others with whom we work and associate. During the past war a great many heroes were made from this recipe. These men had acquired the habit of being ready, and so when an opportunity for heroic action presented itself they just went ahead just like they always had without in many cases know ing they were doing anything un usual. Others are making success es in the business world today be cause they are ready to take ad vantage of opportunities. Recently I talked with an owner of a business who was. looking for a man to run that business. He said, “I am not looking for a man who hasn’t a job, but one who has a good job and is doing gOod work in that job.” I believe he had something. ♦ SPORTS E Infantry Wins Volleyball Crown E Infantry won the class B volleyball championship last week by defeating H Infantry in two straight games.

It was an artificial nest, on it placidly set, of all things, a stuffed “Bird of Para dise”. I was unable to eat a bite while that bird was staring at me with those beaded artificial eyes. After she had finished (I didn’t) I quickly suggested that we go to a theatre. I thought for a while I could relax and forget the entire episode of the hats; but alas, in front of me sat a lady, yes, a lady, with one of those awful umbrella type lids. The thought came to my mind to “Cuss Satan and give up.” I did. R. B. Dooley. The Season’s Changing- CHANGE YOUR HAT!
