' f HE CLASS OF 1933 APPREc1,iTEs the many opportunities which Chi- locco has to offer. We realize that it gives the Indian youth a ffm chance to develop his natural ability, create initiative. and also to 1 X '47 ff .1 1 Lg, develop him mentally, physically, and morally. 3 4 C J We find that in order to grasp our opportunities we must require alertness to seize chances--responsiveness to slightest suggestion of ambition. There are times when we cannot know what is the best thing to do until we have done something and checked up on the results. Under these circum- stanr-es, the quicker we make a decision, the sooner we shall arrive at a sound conclusion. The greatest opportunity that comes to every boy and girl is :hat if op- tainiing an education. Yet many girls and boys fail to grasp the importance Ol' this opportunity and leave it for others of far less value. Opportunity does not come to one, but you yourself have to make it by being satisfied with small things and willing to make of them things of hope. A person feels today that he could live a much better life if he could only live life over again. This makes him look back with regretful memory to the golden days of his youth and then he sadly mourns his wasted chances. He turns hopefully to the thought of a life to come, but in his blindness and ig- norance he does not realize that the new life is all around him and he has but to reach out and take a strong hold upon it. Opportunities are every where-in the air, in the earth. and in other vo- cations which are considered a small start. Opportunity is multiplying rapidly because the field of vocations is spreading widely. We can not reach oppor- tunity with, I can't, but it has to be reached with an honest heart. which often beats beneath a ragged jacket, and two arms which are willing to attempt anything which may come our way. Josiah Holland in his poem Gradatim says: Heaven is not gained at a single boundg But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies And we mount to its summit round by round. This neaiis that opportunity for success is not gained in a single task. but we have to build. our ladder step by step from the bottom to our goal. To you. who are determined to get on in the world every circumstances in life may be turned to advantage The field of opportunity is a wide field to be too certain of higher things. for thousands of people pass by great opportunities in the shape of small duties and others come behind, who have little thought of grasping things too far ahead and have woven their success around the things the majority thought to be wurthless. The law of all progress is. We must open the door next to us before the door ahead of that will swing for us to enter. From this we must remember that nothing moves in this world until it is moved by some force greater than itself. It has been said that. By the time a fool has made us his mind the oppor- tunity has gone by. The people who do things in this world make opportunity. They never have to Wait. because they dig. fight. and give up all for it. -Visoima PATTFRSON
