r NE-Cfl-HI not be afraid of hard work. If you do not have this habit, attain it. “Carry on.” Another thing you should have developed in high school is the power of concentration. How important is this factor in the preparation of lessons. It enables you to do in a short time what otherwise would require a long period of time to accomplish, or what would not be accomplished at all. Concentration enables one to save time. The most successful men in every calling of life have the habit of concentration. Thomas A. Edison is an example of what concentration means and will do. He has the ability to concentrate his mind and energy for days at a time on a single problem. This trait has made him the most successful inventor of all times. Whatever measure of this accomplishment you have, carry it on with you as you leave school. You are to be congratulated on the success you have attained in school work. It means much to be graduated from high school. You are being graduated at an opportune time. It is a great privilege to be entering on one’s life work in an age such as this. You are to be envied for the possibilities that are before you. There are many opportunities for young men and women of education who have the habits of hard work, of regularity and punctuality, who have enthusiasm for the work in which they are engaged and who have the power of concentration. It is to be hoped that the high school has given vou these qualities. It is a hard world into which you are going. It knows no favorites. What you make of life will depend on your own individual efforts. The world will soon learn to know you even better than you know yourself. Play the game fair and square. We all say God-speed and may the greatest success be yours. “Carry on.” FACTS ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL 1. Location—Southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Reis Street, New Castle, Penna. 2.
