HOW TO BE A THUMPING BIG SUCCESS
ON CAMPUS
While up in the attic last week hiding from a bill collector I
came across a letter, yellow now with age, that dear old Dad had
sent me when I was a freshman. I read the letter again and
recalled, with many a sigh and not a few tears, what an inspira
tion it had been to me back in my freshman days. I reproduce it
below in the hope that it may light your way as it did mine.
“Dear Son, (Dad always called me Son. This was short for
Sonnenberg, which was originally my first name. I later traded
it with a man named Max. He threw in two outfielders and a left-
handed pitcher . . . But I digress.)
“Dear Son, (Dad wrote)
“I suppose you are finding college very big and bewildering,
and maybe a little frightening too. Well, it need not be that
way if you will follow a few simply rules.
“First of all, if you have any problems, take them to your
teachers. They want to help you. That’s what they are there for.
Perhaps they do seem rather aloof and forbidding, but that is
only because they are so busy. You will find your teachers warm
as toast and friendly as pups if you will call on them at an hour
when they are not overly busy. Four a.m., for instance.
“Second, learn to budget your time. What with classes, activi
ties, studying, and socihl life all competing for your time, it is
easy to fall into sloppy habits. You must set up a rigid schedule
and stick to it. Remember, there are only 24 hours in a day.
Three of these hours are spent in class. For every hour in class,
you must, of course, spend two hours studying. So there go six
more hours. Then, as everyone knows, for every hour of study
ing, you must spend two hours sleeping. That accounts for an
other twelve hours. Then there are meals—two hours each for
breakfast and lunch, three hours for dinner. Never forget, Son
nenberg, you must chew each mouthful 288 times. You show
me a backward student, and I’ll show you a man who bolts
his food.
“But college is more than just sleeping, eating, and studying.
There are also many interesting and broadening activities, and
you would be cheating yourself if you neglected them. You’ll
want to give at least an hour a day to the campus newspaper and
yeai’book, and, of course, another hour each to the dramatic and
music clubs. And let’s say a total of three .hours daily to the
stamp club, the foreign affairs club, and the debating society.
Then, of course, a couple of hours for fencing and bird-walking,
a couple more for square dancing and basket weaving, and one
or two for cribbage and ice-sculpturing.
“Finally, we come to the most important part of each day-what
I call ‘The Quiet Time.’ This is a period in which you renew
yourself—jmsf relax and think green thoughts and smoke Philip
Morris Cigarettes.

haven to the storm-tossed That’ w
“Well, Sonnenberg, I g uess t hat l about all- Your mother sends
her love. She has just finished nnttimr up rather a large batch
of pickles—in fact, 350,000 ia>. P r * m her that with you away
at school, we would not need ° - but lovable old Mother
is such a creature of habit C^Lh I hit her quite hard

Letters to the Editor jTonn Ilall Leader
Editor, Battalion: —a town that puts real meaning
I would like to express my deep I into living — can only breed ; D Jf
gratitude to all the people who hau j citizens who are proud and happy j Qualified students may file for
any part in naming me “Woman i to work for its continued better-C’-- J 1 ■
of the Year’’ of College Station. i ment.
This is an honor and distinction I For the privilege of just being
which will be greatly treasured one of you, I am and always will
through the years. I feel that the I be eternally grateful. This portion
credit really belongs to the fine of my life here in the shadows of
individuals with whom I had the
pleasure to work.
No one person is ever respon
sible for a success. It takes co
operation and lots of hard work
from all those we come in contact
with to get the job done.
I feel sure there are many per
sons who have done more than I
and for a longer period of time and
as yet have not been recognized.
As a person just “passing-
through’’ with a tour in the Air
Force, I can truly think of no
other community that has more to
offer or that has been more
gracious and friendly.
A town that is so wonderful to
strangers—a town that has a heart
A&M will remain the richest and
most wonderful years of my life.
Very sincerely yours,
Mrs. Walter M. Heritage Jr.
P. S. I am sorry to say I never
have worked with the Mothers and
Dads Club of Consolidated as was
reported. Perhaps next time!
