a ££orti to tt Wist (?) Seek to profit by the example of 1913. Earn as good a reputation as ours for yourselves, if possible. Notice carefully the many points in which we excel. Imitate them successfully and your social standing is assured. Onward and upward toward 1913 ' s standard should be your motto; Remember that you can aim no higher. Many drawbacks will probably block your path. Immense obstacles must undoubtedly be overcome Discouragment you may meet more than once; Do not, however, ever abandon your high aims. Let this example be always in your minds. Even when you think you have surely failed, keep trying; Reward worth a great struggle will finally be yours. Success will mean that you have learned to remember your dickies, and not to chew gum, or eat on the street. 58
