G Q :S f H f n r THIS WAY UP From the bannister of a flight of stairs in a western school there hangs a pla- card reading: THIS WAY UP. DON'T STARE UP THE STAIRS-STEP UP THE STAIRS. Many a young person stepping out into the world would do well to adopt this as his motto, remem- bering that there is no elevator to suc- cess. Start right up the flight at the earliest possible chance, and 'the more steps you hit, the more energy you will have to go on when you reach the top. In other words, the more opportuni- ties you take, the better prepared you will be to tackle the job awaiting you at your goal. All along the way, exert yourself to be of service to those with whom you come in contact-you may do anything from keeping your desk and locker at school free of clutter, to ac- cepting an office in a school or church organization. But whatever you do, it develops certain of your characteristics, and pads the step, so to speak, for an easier spring forward and upward. Make friends wherever you go. Look carefully at a friendship-it is a ship for a long voyage. Friendship includes fair consideration of those who oppose you, and soft answers-or none at all- to those who wrong you. Usually, the results of such actions are not obvious, outside of the further strengthening of your character, but in rare instances, the people who speak wrongly of you or to you are but testing your moral strength, and will use to your advantage your favorable reaction. So use those who spitefully use you as some of the steps to success that you shall 'tread on. Myrtle Reed says, Life is like one of those puzzles that come in a box. It is full of queer pieces which seemingly bear no relation to one another, and yet there is a Way of putting it together into a perfect whole. Each step of the staircase is part of 1ife's puzzle-an op- portunity to do or be something. Help yourself to all the pieces of the puzzle that you can without robbing your neighbor of his share. In the end you may find duplications, but they only strengthen the puzzle when it's put to- gether. For the graduates in particular, then: STEP UP THE STAIRS, and 'touch as many steps as possible. -Helen Emery Austin. 4181+
