Hold "Jesus Celebration" On Thursday Thursday night, March 7, has been designated as Youth night during the Wayne Bristow Evangelistic crusade now in progress at First Baptist church, 509 Front street, McHenry, according to Pastor Virgle L. Chappell. This special service is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Evangelist Bristow is a frequent speaker on campuses both in the United States and overseas. He has a great rapport with students, and relates the Christian message to them in an aggressive, straight forward manner. His sermon Thursday night will have special interest to young people from junior high through 25 years of age. Pastor Chappell has ex­ pressed his strong desire to see local civic and educational leaders present at the crusade Thursday evening when a positive answer will be voiced to many of the problems facing today's youth. A "youth only" session described as a "Jesus Celebration" will follow the evangelistic service. This period will feature members of the crusade team. During a recent crusade, Wayne Bristow said, "I have looked at every hero and cause calling for the commitment of young people, and not one of them compares to Jesus. Christ alone can meet the deep need of the human heart. Young people everywhere are turning from the pursuit of sex, security and success, and are turning to Jesus. Where this is happening, people are really 'coming alive!' " MMMMMHNH KIWANIS NEWS Last week's guest Was Sonny Corbin, an exchange student from Barbados (West Indies). Sonny is spending a year here and will go back in June. She received quite a surprise when she learned that Kiwanians George Hartmann and Horace Wagner just came back from Barbados last week. Sonny showed slides of the island along with some of the beaches, etc. Wednesday, Feb. 27, an inter- club was held with Belvidere. Art Lau, Guy Whitet Bob Myers and Bill Cristy attended. (submitted by District 15) WHATFOR? Many of us have probably asked "Whatfor?" often. Those responsible for teaching young people might hear the question oftener. The questioning usually rests on an attitude. What's an attitude? Simply, it's a way a person feels about something. Attitudes are often formed by a process based on Success or failure. Y' Why is it important to know about the formation of an at­ titude? Once formed, attitudes have tremendous influence. They can help or hinder. They can help develop human potential or retard it. From a personal standpoint, this is reason enough to know something about them. Viewing this subject as an educator and a concerned human being, one has many opportunities to observe the influence of attitude. Attitudes are, for the most part, the results of success and failure in societies. No one, to my knowledge, seriously wakes up feeling he or she must fail something during the day. In success oriented societies, such as ours, one must achieve and be recognized for some suc­ cessful activity. This success can be varied. Recognition can be for achieving goals, small or great in nature. Knowing the influence of attitudes could help bring about desired changes. This same knowledge could also help people maintain particular successes. Either way, in­ vestigation of attitude is im­ portant. My vantage point provides many opportunities to observe the successful and unsuccessful person in many activities. Things happen after one ex­ periences success or failure. The successful person becomes more confident and usually engages in the activity further. The person experiencing failure often does one of two things. He either withdraws from the activity or tries to change it. One should realize fully success and failure are by degrees. That is, most ex­ perience more or less success than someone else. Here April 27 will be annual Kiwanis Bowling night. Bill Cristy is working on a date for Kiwanis baseball night at Milwaukee. reference is made to the ex­ tremes of these experiences, or those who have great or little success or failure. For example, a person who has enjoyed a greater degree of success thantailure will be able to cope with failure better. He'll not be willing to give up so easily. However, a person who experiences many failures will begin to generalize his failures. He or she will be less inclined to engage in new or different activities, even though he or she may possess the potential to be successful. Thus, an at­ titude is formed. Knowledge about the process of developing an attitude could give people new insights on themselves. Recognizing one's strengths and weakness is important. Knowing this process could also give insight about generalization of one's effectiveness or the lack of it. With this information, one can build on strengths and account for weaknesses. Examinng both is important. Why? People can often transfer those ac­ tivities bringing them success into those where failure was experienced. Reference is made to the way tasks are approached mentally. The confident person applies himself. A few weak or poor attempts do not cause him to give up. Such experience causes him to study the situation more carefully. He recognizes the separate things he must do to succeed. Once identified, he works out ways to overcome his shortcomings. These ways are usually reduced to steps or stages. If, however, a person generalizes he's not successful, he'll often attempt new ac­ tivities less often or not at all. Sometimes, he'll make excuses for himself. What could result because of attitude? Depending on degree . of success or failure one ex­ periences, attitude sets limits. Not only does it set limits, but often causes people to engage in more and varied activities or reduce the number. The suc­ cessful person will continue to be so. His positive attitude will provide him with a cushion and temporary setbacks (failure) will only challenge him further. The person who generalizes his iriability to be successful' will develop a negative attitude about himself. If he continues to fail at new tasks, he, may begin questioning himself about his ability on tasks he's already mastered. This at­ titude could actually reduce his performance level, thus diminish the number of things he's doing. How attitude is developed is important. Knowledge of the process is essential. Com­ ponents such as success and failure can be viewed and their influence measured. Perhaps, the most important message of all is "Attitudes can be changed". Knowing how at­ titudes are formed provides the key. TWO ENROLL Norma E. Feucht, 2918 S. Riverside drive, and Sheri L. Landin, 1213 N.
