24 NORTHERN LIGHT sEN1oR BANQUET Eat, drink and be merry seemed to be the motto of 250 North Central seniors, who, dressed in their starched shirt fronts and best dresses, were gathered Monday evening, jan- uary 23, in the banquet hall of the Elks' tem- ple to commemorate the passing of the class of January '22 by a formal banquet. Although the demise of so great a class should have been a solemn and sad affair, everyone seemed so full of spirits fthe kind that come from the soul and not from the bootleggerj that even Harvey Adolph Bras- sard forgot to give anybody the razz or makelany of his famous spellbounding ora- tions. Even the elk heads which decorated the walls of the banquet room wore smiles, probably because they remembered the time when they, too, were happy little deers. Harley Olson was the first senior to arrive on the scene and he promptly took possession of two chairs and a half. Mr. Olson was greatly grieved when the head waiter forced him to give up one chair and a half to R. Irving Anschutz and his diminutive friend and chaperone, Miss Lucille Edgington. During the rest of the evening the position of our friend, Mr. Olson, greatly resembled the famous balancing rock. Owing to the fact that the hay wire with which Fred Marshall was pulling a certain Ford did not break, Orlen Bailey arrived be- fore the banquet started. The calendar was forthwith decorated with a red mark, as this was the first time that the Ford and its occu- pants had ever arrived on time. Last to -arrive was our popular Doris Aileen, bringing with her the handsome young North Central News society editor, Louie Ashlock. Now, if ever, the banquet could start, for the mighty deeds which were to be done that night would not go unchronicled. By this time the bevy or so of waiters had managed to distribute the first course among the famished seniors, who had gone without their lunches for the last two weeks in order to do justice to the occasion. The first course, which consisted of soup a la carte, was con- sumed to the strains of Flower's orchestra. Mr. Flower afterwards admitted that he saw no need of the seniors hiring an orchestra, as the soup yodelers more than drowned out the melodies rendered by his corsage. The management felt that it was unnecessary to throw Mr. Flower any bouquets. '23 Mr. Patton, in a very brilliant speech, wel- comed the senior Afs. He made but one stipu- lation, and that was that the senior A's please refrain from carrying away the silverware, as all missing articles would be charged to the senior B class. Such a charge would be a great calamity, as the class pocketbook already was invisible from a side view. This state- ment put a damper on the spirits of Kenneth Bush and Lewis Lowery, as these two gentle- men had planned to make their start in life from the proceeds reaped from the results of their night's accumulations. Vtfesley Robson responded by saying that he would do his best to keep an eye on the silver- ware. As he sat down, two soup spoons and a butter knife dropped from his pocket. This greatly added to the excitement of the evening. The audience was kept in suspense while the senior quartet rendered several varieties of Blooze.', Pauline Crowder was greatly worried over the antics of Fred Marshall, the bass. He afterwards explained to her that he was just getting down to business. He really should have done his singing in the basement, it was so low down. Although Dr. Benefiel swore that he was not advertising for the Washington Water Power company, he made a very good toaster. Miss Marjorie Kitto pleased all with her ren- dition of some of the more popular pieces, such as t'The Vamp and VVhose Heart Can I Break Next? During her song she was forced to stop, as it was observed that Frank was Eaton. On the strength of this Mr. Ram- sey rose to the occasion and stated that as he noticed that some of the members of the senior B class were not very well bread he had better toast them This closed the official entertainment of the evening, but it has been rumored among some of the more sedate members that a few of the more mature seniors trod the light fantastic 'til early morning. When roll was called at school next morning the only casualties were Zell Spry and Helen Russum, who were suf- fering from nervous shock because they had seen the salad dressing. Dale Van de Walker was the victim of a terrible accident. Despite the warnings of Margaret Slater, who was act- ing as his chaperone, he stuck his spoon in his eye while drinking his coffee. It is thought that Dale will recover.

Herein lies the real secret of success. Be sure that you live your own life, not that of another. Remember that you are an actor of just such a part as is assigned to you by the Poet of the play, of a short part if the part be short, of a long part if the part be long. Should He wish you to act the part of a beg- gar, take care to act it naturally and noblyg and the same if it be the part of a lame man, or a ruler, or a private man, for this is in your power, to act well the part assigned to youg but to choose that part is the function of another. -Epictetus. If you act the part assigned to you and act it to the best of your ability, you are success- ful 5 but if you do not find your part and make the most of it you are a failure. How to find that part is a problem of great enormity that many men never solve. You cannot depend entirely on your own opinion concerning that part, for you may believe that you have a capacity for a certain kind of work -handicrafts, commerce and professions. The first class includes all skilled work that is done by the hands, mechanics of every kind belong to this class. The second covers buying, selling and the clerical work connected with it. The third includes medicine, law, ministry, science and other vocations that have little to do with manual labor and are somewhat re- moved from barter. Every person is htted for one of these voca- tions. The right start means success, while the wrong start may lead to failure, for the flush of success is possible only when what you want to do is what you can do, and what you can do will not bring you real success if you do not want to do it. - To succeed you must gather experience from all those with whom you come in contact and use that experience yourself. No matter how small your position may be, remember that by the law of God you are the master of yourself. You may be subject to fearful hand- icaps and be forced down by conditions, yet you remain supreme. If you are incompetent to rise above the ranks, you will remain there,
