ing to achieve his ends. This type of ambition brings unhappiness into the world and usually leads to the worst kind of failure for the one pos' sessing it. Ambition rightly directed, however, will lead one to work and labor and study that he may ad' vance and grow in learning and ability. He is not thinking particularly of outstripping others, but of going to the highest point possible for himself. He is able to appreciate the efforts and successes of his associates, and rejoices in their advancement. On a still higher level, such ambition leads one to become an artist, or musician, a preacher or teacher. Now we come to the full realization of ambif tions, great or good as they may be, are not always reached lf all the disappointments of humanity could be all brought together into one great pile, the mountains would fill all the earth. Here is the girl who wanted to go to college but had to begin teaching school, the boy who wanted to be a doctor but was forced by circumstances to keep right on with farm work, the man who in youth desired to be a great traveler but who has never been out of his home state, the woman who wanted to be a great writer but whose hands are busy only with the cares of an unappreciative household. But the picture is not all dark. Youth lacks ex' perience and its hopes and dreams may run in di- rections that are impossible of accomplishment, or if fulfilled might not be the best for the individual. It is well that a wise Providence guides and directs us on the path that is ours through life. The greatest tragedy does not lie in the fact that ambif tions are not fully realized but that some let ambif tion die. Suppose the fire hidden away in the furnace should go out because it can not realize its ambition of setting the house on fire! Or suppose the mainspring in the watch should break because it can not become the hands or face! The house would lack warmth and the watch would stopg so the life with ambition unfullfilled may be the very one that is furnishing force for others to work up' on. Let ambition burng never give up: fight against odds that a1'e against you, and you will grow the stronger for what you have conquered. If ambif tion should die in youth, or if youth should lack ambition, the wheels of progress would stop, all the wisdom and knowledge of the world would grow dim and pass away, and man would sink to his lowest level. But as long as the eye of youth is fired with those inner flames of ambition and purpose, and there are fields of knowledge and understanding yet to be explored, the world's work will move on unhindered. -Vera Marie Kurtz. MAKING AND BREAKING Are you making any resolutions this year? Don't-unless you are in earnest about it and are looking forward to their achievement. What are resolutions and why do we make them? Looking back over the past years, one sees many failures, and desiring to make his life richer, fuller, less faulty, vows that through the coming year, he will make certain changes that will be beneficial to his character. Is it better to have made and broken than never to have made at all? If one breaks his vows to himself, is it not a confession of failure and a proof that you are unworthy of yourself? Doesn't it show that you are lacking in the ability to do, lacking in will power, courage, stamina, and doesn't it denote a weakness of character-somehow? When you have failed in all this, what has one left to live by? Breaking of resolutions which we may toss off lightly as of no meaning, might prophesy failure in other things, as people in the educational field tell us that there is a carry'over from one trait to another. Let's take an inventory and make the needed re- pairs in our lives at this beginning of a new year, but let's not do it in a spirit of humor, let's serious' ly make a few resolutions which we will keep. A few kept is better than a wholesale lot broken. Napoleon defeated armiesgone by one. fMary Jane Eichelbaugh. PLAGUE? They're always abusing the women As a terrible plague to men, They say we're the root of all evil, And repeat it again and again,- Of war and quarrels and bloodshed, All mischief be what it may, And pray thee, why do they wed us If we're really the nuisance you say? And why do you watch o'er us closely And keep us so safely at home, And never know one easy moment If we're out at night-all alone. When you ought to be thanking kind heaven That your plague is out of the way You all keep fussing and fretting Oh where is my dear Plague today? If a plague peeps out of a window, Up go the eyes of the men, If she hides, then they all keep staring Until she looks at them again! Page 22

TO YOU WHO DREAM Youth can you today see into the future and anticipate greatness in your present generation? Without doubt you can. You can see lovely visions of concert masters, of cheery fires, of soft lights, and tender music,-musicians, our musicians, You can see treasured old libraries with the editions of our writers, our poets. You can visualize brisk professional men and women, rising young lawyers and doctors, Oh our generation will have all kinds of greatness and fame. There will be grand' mothers someday, with soft, white hair, sitting be- side dying fires, with their memories: our genera- tion will have provided for another,--a bigger and better youth of another generation. It isn't a black futureg on the contrary, it is a rosefcolored one into which those who dream and those who make their dreams and those who make their dreams come true must gazeg it is a bottomless pit, yawning mysteriously, but in the darkness there is a dart of light as vivid as a torch, beckoning you to come and explore the unknown, We have confidence in you, dreamers, and in your entrancing dreams, we know you will succeed. So few understand and sympathize with these idealists who are blowing their pretty bubbles in the air, watching them with satisfaction drift away into the blue, filled with bright colored flecks of light, they need understanding, they need sympaf thy, encouragement, and friendship. Hasn't everyf thing great in the world been built on dreams? You may have doubts as you progress: the way may seem hardg you may become disillusioned, but a dreamer must have stamina as well as visions, but if you dream hard enough, your castles will be' come real, solid architecture. Then we will be proud of you, not! because the World pronounces you a success, but because you have seen beyond the dull routine of everyday life into the Land Where Dreams Come True. -Mary jane Eichelbaugh. FAREWELL TO K. H. S. Once and always our dear School, Can it be that we are through? Will you answer please and tell us, ls it all pretense or true? We have worked yes, long and earnest, We have burned the midnight oil, As to knowledge you may test us, Is it yet that we must toil? Ah! We hear you faintly saying, Go now forth and make your way, Go my Seniors, mighty Seniors, Each one has his part to play, You are right, dear Alma Mater, We must think of future years, Why should we abide here longer, Sharing all your hopes and fears. But before our grand departure Let us a recollection make Though we'll always go straight forward Memories of the past we'll take. Let us think-when we were Freshmen How we strolled along the halls Wondering at the grave old Seniors What they learned within their walls. Then as Sophomores we grew wiser, But still laughed when jokes were sprung just as now our late successors, Seem as happy and as young. Then as Juniors, we grow older Had our parties and our jewels, Chose our president and sponsor And abided by the rules. Now we tread the paths of Seniors, And we're more than proud today To recall our days in School, As we pause here on our way. So we close our books of learning, But we'll soon know many moreg Then we'll harken to their teachings, And we did your books of yore. -Ethyl Oehring. ONLY EDUCATED PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO BE POOR Education is often thought of as only a means of making money, but think what education really does for a person. Of course in itself, it is of no value to any one unless he utilizes his learning. An educated person is better fitted for life, sociallyg his mental faculties are developed so that he is more able to solve life's problems. Too often, we think of education as training along special lines. Education, however, has a far broader meaning. To be really educated, one must be skilled in one special line and have a speaking knowledge of other subjects too. One cannot talk and think shop at all times,-he must be able to Page 23
