E BEE HIVE f f f 1 TRY, TRY AGAIN n By June Hebert Perseverance! It's true that the first impression of the word suggests tre- mendous battles ,hard work, and even heartaches, yet perseverance is neces- sary in even our everyday life. A school problem, a family' crisis, or a community project can all be overcome by a little perservering effort. Many tirnes things will go Wrong and we will feel that there is nothing to do but quit, but if we endure and persist, the pain and heartaches will tu!1'n to joy. , Our nation owes its existence partly to the perseverance of our forefathers. How successful would they have been if they had not persisted in battling the hardships which constantly faced them? It is said that the conditions of conquest are always ea-sy. We have but to toil a while, believe always, and never turn back. This is exactly what our forefathers did, and truly their pain and heart- aches turned to joy. The ability to press relentlessly forward to-'ward a distant goal or ideal is a priceless attribute. So next time the going becomes difficult and the temp- tation to quit becomes great, heed the advice of the anonoymous author of the following poem, and resolve to try once more-this time harder. When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow- You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering many Ofen the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cupg And he learned too late when the night came down. How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems: afarg So stick to thef ight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you mustrft quit.
