H. Sykes of Connecticut College. Dr. F. H Sykes, president of the Connecticut College for Women, ad- C. | dreseed the student body of Windham High school Thursday morning in the school auditorium on the subject of Education and Vocation. In his talk he said: Youth is a dream of ex- pectancy and old age is the realiza- tion. Before you finish school every one of you dreams and determines your future, and nothing remains but for the wortd to hand out fortunes on nice bright platters. Dreams do not fulfill themselves; we have to our dreams come true. There is no fairy godmother or godfather to do the work. . Talent coupled with will may mean destiny. It iy that brain talent, doing a little thing well, and keeping on doing it That power directed to service in the world is vocation. There is something calling to you, some talent crying out to you, and if you wiil heed its voice it will lead you to your best. Vocation is calling to the girl as well as to the boy. Every one of us must show our right to live. If you do not do some- thing in this life you will do somebody. Ask yourselves what do you .really want to do and become. Watch your talents, find out what_you can do bet- ter, what you like to do. Work at home and in the school and find out what you can really do weil. And when you find it, that's your vocation. Don't try to pick up training for your can. JEWETT CITY Marriage Announcement Not Author- ed—Gardiner Class Makes Fare- well Gift to Mrs. McArthur.

H, will be in Norwich Sunday after- vocation, but go to the best school you | Journal recently. It Was written Journal reporter visited Mr. Bit. good’s place in Voluntown, and de- scribed the feats"acdomplished by sthis strong man. i ; : said that & man was by Bitgood’s home and asked &m tion ;lo & cwiatn house. Wimer, who ‘was ploughing in the flelds, near his home without ‘the aia of any horse, is said to have g:kad the plow and pointed out flkazon with it as though it was a small stick. Another story widely circulated here is that three of the Bitgood brothers rode to Norwich and obtained a sup- ply of provisions. They bought a bar- rel of crackers and on the way home they dug into them until.the erackers hwo all disappeared before reaching me. Any of the Bitgood brothers is cer- tainly large emough to eat a good sized meal. At present Eimer Bitgood is lving on the Jewett City-Plainfleld road. Mr. Bitgood performed most of his marvelous feats of strength on . his little farm in Voluntown, near Beach Pond. At this place Elmer has erect- ed a platform composed of.planking set upon four fence posts. He has covered this platform, with common field stones weighing 4 ton and plac- ing a small stool under the platform he is able with the greatest ease to raise the platform clear of the Dosts. He has often placed more stones up- on the form lifting it from the posts. About six years ago Mr, Bitgood said that he loaded the platform with stone sweighing 4200 pounds and lift- ed it clear of the posts. He has many other strength tests to his credit besides back lifting. On one occasion he loaded stone drag with 1120 pounds of fleld stones and drag- ged it twenty-five vards. Chain breaking is a common sight for any- one to see accomplished at a ecircus but the way and the ease with which Elmer Bitgood does. the trick is mot seen very often at a circus, He can pick up 250 pounds with the little finger of either hand. He can muscle out 86 pounds in one hand and fifty in both hands: 205 pounds is his present record for lifting a dumbbell over his head with both Bands and 152 pounds with one hand. He has pushed a dumbbell of 200 Rounds in weight from his shoulder straight over his head ten times in twenty seconds. Mr. Bitzood says: “Thefe may be some people who are stronger than what 1 am, but as yet I have failed to meet one. I have a perfect right to claim the title until somenne can prove that I am not worthy of it This champion is only. about 31 years of age and stands five feet eight ches in -height. He weighs about 225 pounds and his biceps measure 20 inches in circumference. Mr. Bitgood is very willing to %o through his performance . for most enyone and_ he s real modest in speaking of his achievements.
