Approximately 200 boys and girls will re- ceive Bangor High School Diplomas on June 19. What will these youths find in the world that they are about to enter? Which ones will be successful? These and other questions of a similar nature will haunt the minds of in- telligent young people for many a night. To follow in l7ad's footsteps is no longer the simple solution of the problem of one's life work. The youth of today finds his prob- lem prototyped in the upheavcl and painful adjustment following the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Over production and the enormous development along the lines of me- chanical devices have put many occupations in the same class as Silas Marner's weaving. Only those who can adapt themselves to new situations will survive the struggle for existence. Only those who have the vision to see ahead and prepare themselves for the trend of activities that will result from the present period of economic discord will achieve suc- cess. Who of this year's class will attain the lau- rels of success? They are those who determ- ine early in life some goal of achievement. They are those who believe that success is built upon failure-who, though they may fail at first, never grow faint-hearted. The three sinster words if, but and perhaps must not become part of the successful boy or girl's philosophy of life. lf means making an excuse for oneself be- fore the struggle for success begins. When one begins life with if, he is likely to explain at the end that he might have been successful if something hadn't happened. But builds up a fence between the man and the thing that he wants to reach. Whenabe says but, his whole body reacts unfavorable towards success. ' Perhaps means that one doesn't believe in his own plan. Surely if one docsn't believe in himself others won't. How many boys and girls have heard of the adage Honesty is the best policy? No man's life work can become a success without hon- esty. Of course he may, at first appear to be successful but sooner or later, the boy or girl, man or woman, who deviates from the path of honesty is found out and his mock success is boldly labeled failure before the eyes of his fellow men. Besides honesty, loyalty, sound judgment, and initiative must be reckoned as factors helpful to success. Loyalty to oneself and others is an absolute necessity in life because one cannot expect another to be loyal to him when he is about to double-cross his asso- ciates. Sound-judgement is the character which distinguishes the wise from the learned. It is tContinued on Page 711

32 THE ORACLE 9 E U lass 49112 Q H so Gertrude Graham, '31 On 1ife's broad and boundless ocean, We have anchored in a bay, We can sail no more together, For our course must change today. Bright has been our sheltered passage, Merry winds have filled the sail, Smoothly o'er the waters gliding, We have never felt a gale. In our eagerness for fortune, Moving in the busy throng, We shall hear the soft-voiced sirens, Let us never heed their song. Let us seek to go straight onward In whatever path doth lead, Keeping in our minds the motto i Door is survived by deed. l Happy school days now are ended, I Pleasant hours here spent are oierg l Goodbye, teachers, Goodbye, classmates I We shall meet as such, no more. Q Though, perchance, our vessel may be l Borne on billoW's lofty crest, Yet where'er the voyage be ended, May we reach the haven of rest!
