'ZIZICII IDI IEII IEII I BELT BUCKLE LTO illblllilfilha That period of-energy, means of sustaining existence a11d state of being alive are all summed up into 0116 term: Life, A comparatively small word but a stupendously important one. Such comparisons follow as to define this significant term: Fire, beautiful and dangerous, burns itself in a mass of flame to a climax, then slowly recedes until only an ember remains and finally a mass of lividity. Thus, our existence burns itself into a beautiful climax then goes slowly down- ward until life is entirely discontinued. Spring, which begins with tiny green blades, tender buds and the return of the gorgeous feathered folk reminds one of laughter from a tiny personageg as it develops into the wild orgy of colorful petals and tumbling brooks of mid- summer, 0116 visualizes an individual l1lil1'kCd with success at the culmination of life. When tl1e leaves begin to change from green to shades of orange and red and breezes which suggest the flying of snowflakes, blow, one compares age to the oncoming winter and can easily like11 life to the passing of the seasons. y Again, one can compare life, stars, shining in the heavens, attain a glor- ious beauty in the deep of night but as dawn approaches they fade away to let a new life, that of the sun, rule for an equal period of time. Mortality is not the one to govern life-its length of existence-for life is an element that can pass away entirely, against the will of any forces and is utterably impossible to regain. Jealousy, love, hate, sorrow, sickness, worry, poverty, and many elements too numerous to even list here enter into the lives of different people and tend to change their courses, but taken all in all, Life is still the same and is terminated by Death for kings as well as peasants. In conclusion, one may have a correct decision if he sums up the events of the many lives that have been lived before l1in1: that everyone has begun as an infant. growing into youth, success for some, failure for others, and finally passing from old age into that other realm which mortal folk know compara- tively little about.

Yet it is not merely an incident but an event that will sta11d out as one of tl1e 111ile- stones of life. It marks a step to fields of greater opportunity and achievement. Nevertheless, the average l1igl1 school se11ior in some way dreads the ap- proach of tl1is day. ls it not foolish to dread a thing? No lllfltffll' l1ow one wishes to prevent its arrival, it will be of no avail, because Illilll has not yet lear11ed to COI1lI'0I Time. There is a mingling of feelings-of happiness and sad11ess. But above all there is a certai11 feeling of triumph to have climbed to that height after twelve long years of constant effort. Then why should there be sadness at all Z' Is it for the school days left behind? This is not reasonable. Why dwell in the past? Those who look solely to tl1e past for inspirations and who are utterly oblivious to the present seldo111 succeed. It is those who keep themselves ac- quainted with the everchanging conditions of the world who are successful. Tllell there is a pI'0IlllSlIlQ' future to look forward to. Yes, promising but it is up to each to make it such. There will be no reward without tl1e indlvidual's will illld determination. Success does not plead at the door for admittance! It lllilj' seem near but when one reaches out to grasp it-it recedes and appears more hopeless to attain than ever. A great 3.lll0l1Ilf of patience and unending labor is essential. lVe often l1ear l1igh school students say, There isn't a cl1ance for 1118 in the world of todayf' This is not se11sible. There are equally as many opportuni- ties offered today as their were before. One ean't expect some one to say, i'Here's a position. Take it. No. People are too busy taking advantage of their own opportunities without pointing out each others. Herbert Hoover said, 'fMy COl1I1tI'j' gave 1118, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. Everyone Illfly not be a president, but there are other occupations which are of great aid to your fellow men and community. So let 11s make Conimencement a beginning of a more successful life, in- stead of considering it as the end. EVA LESELI. fillll lI II II ll ll ll ll I 19 3 0 i Page 68

oct BELT BUCKLE I :cn ini n:n uncle llMliAlliQlIllINllfIlQ2f A llMIl4DlIDllE5llRlNl tl3fllllIRlliQ The Modern Girl is very difficult to make, therefore, great care must be taken throughout the whole process. First, choose the girl. Her hair may range from coal black to gold and her eyes may be any hue of the rainbow, even though Mother Nature has chosen certain shades exclusively for eyes. She must not, however, be too tall or too short, if vou wish to obtain the best results. The required ingredients are: Une large package of henna colored hair dye. One cup of sauciness. Two cups of pep. One youthful laugh, One cup resource, courage, and daring. After you have gathered together the very best quality of each requirement, the mixing process begins. First of all, if the hair is long, or is getting that way, bob it according to one of the latest styles. If the hair is dark, bleach it with the strongest bottle of peroxide available and mix into the white hair a great quantity of the henna hair dye. Stir this mixture wildly. This will leave the hair flaming red, a la Clara Bow. Then, add to the girl one cup of pep and mix thoroughly. At this time it is advisable to add the one cup of resource, courage. and daring, sifted together, and stiriin so that it will be nearly obscure ordinarily. Beat one cup of sauciness well and make a paste by adding the youthful laugh and the remaining cup of pep. Spread this paste on top and let the mixture set in a warm, dark room, over night. It is neces- sary that the room be dark so that the results will develop thoroughly. And the results? Perfectly amazing! A dainty, petite, vivacious live wire, with health as strong as Gene Tunney's muscles and a personality that would knock even that same Gene Tunney out. Lips which can croon love songs and still throw back a witty retort when the occasion demands it. A piquant little nose like a dainty piece of sculpture. Eyes which have all the sparkle of mis- chief and excitement that can be packed into them. On top of all this, flaming red aureoles of hair that whirl here and there in careless ecstasy. Below all this care-free exterior, the courage, resource, and daring throb out in delight- ful impotence. What more do you want? As I said before, it is perfectly amaze inff!
