Q21 CHEVERUS CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 9 the Catholic school, which not only educates the child in keeping with a syl- labus, but also develops character, defining the difference between right and wrong, forming that character to ideals of duty to God, country, and fellow man. Indeed, it is a shame the way in which the Catholic institution is dis- regarded by persons of its own faith. Many Catholic boys and girls attend the public high schools and higher institutions, avoiding the Catholic. Why? Perhaps a desire to be a member of a larger institution, to have better access to athletic laurelsg everything is free g the co-ed idea of a social exist- ence, etc., etc. Vain longings usually unfulfilled.

FRANCIS B. FOLEY, '28. I DE FORTUNA A friend approached Norman Rockwell, the well-known and youthful American magazine-cover artist, and complimented him upon having one of his paintings accepted by one of America's weekly magazines. During the course of the conversation which followed, the admirer mentioned Mr. Rock- well's amazing luck in having the design accepted. Luck nothing, replied the now famous artist, just plain hard work ! He explained that, after weeks of formulating an idea for the picture and subsequently painting it upon can- vas, he was required to copy it over, with suitable corrections, five' times before it was satisfactory to the art editor. Surely, he concluded, there was very little luck attached to that ! And thus it is in school life. The honors for the graduating class are announced. At once a certain group of students start a clamor. I wish I had so and so's pull, then I might get someplace! 'Some fellows certainly have the luck! These same students who make these and similar remarks, probably laughed at the honor students for studying at various times during the year. Yet they speak of Luck lu Pull I Luck does not exist unless it is spelled with a PF Ronmzr F. MCDONOUGH, '28.
