(iriol? Cbttorial The Class of ’36 has selected as its motto “Seize the Opportunity.” Before you can seize the opportunity, you must be able to recognize it. Too many of us are guessing today and guessing wrong; too many of us expect Fortune to bring us rich chances instead of realizing that we must make our own chances. Our country needs young men and young women who are able to see about them duties that must be performed. Opportunities to achieve are at hand but they are not readily visible. You must know what you want, then go after it. Become interested in solving the problem that immediately confronts you. No one is in a better position to help you than you are yourself. Therefore, it is your own respon¬ sibility to improve your abilities, to search out your weakness, to analyze your difficulties, and to adjust yourself to your capacity. You look with anticipation to the opportunities that are to be yours ; but too often gradual success kills tbe urge to seize these opportunities; you allow your hands to lie idle and your mind to grow dull, while you wait for the big chance. Try to keep in mind that success comes to few through the timely arrival of one great opportunity. Most men achieve it by considering each problem in the daily work as an opportunity and a successful solution of it as a step forward. To climb slowly towards a goal makes the achievement the more satisfying. Everyone of you has within you the power to succeed in some measure and in some field if you can recognize your opportunity and then seize it. —Andrew Hritz. 1936 Seven
