HARRIS CLASS ESSAY tContinued from page 63 newspaper headlines may read, l'Financier a Suicide-Stock Market Blamedf' VVhat has Adventure given to him? It has taken all-and given-nothing. XVhatever Adventure means to the world, or whatever it does to the world, it develops characteristics which no one can spurn. Chivalry, fairness, courage, braveness, and grit are created, and from them come honor, truth, and faith. As we leave high school to go out into the world, with no one to prompt or to help us in our decisions we should remember these traits. This great Adventure of Life is just start- ing for us, and we are reaching our arms out eagerly and hungrily trying to get all its pleasures and joys in one breath. The world is ours for the asking, to do what we will with it-it's ours. lvhat shall we do? Lean back and let the other fellow do it, or run ahead of the crowd and reach the goal first? Vifhich will you do? The Spirit of Adventure doesn't intend that we shall step back and let the other fel- low do it. Luck or chance doesn't mean a thing. It is only hard work that eventually wins, and places us at the top of the ladder. Let us not be satisfied, and sit down half- way up the hill of Life. Let's push on straight to the end, with a great and glowing Finish, hand in hand with Adventure! -EVELYN ADAM. FINIS
