TO THE CLASS OF 1943 For thirteen years we have been traveling along this educa- tional road. The hope has always been present that you have been gathering all the opportunities that have been set before you. It has been hard at times to make you realize the importance of this. But to make a very delicate machine requires precision and much pains. This will be admitted as a fact by all. But what can be more delicate than our control system that governs every act that we com it and every thought that we express? This has been your task for the first steps of your education, and I hope that you will not be found wanting. Now! my wish is that you will make good! Don't explain! Do the thing that you are expected to do! Don't waste time in giving reasons why you didn't, or couldn't, or wouldn't, or shouldnft. If I hire you to cook for me I expect my chops and baked po- tatoes on time, done to a turn and appetizingg I am not interest- ed in thc butcher's mistake, nor the stove's defect, nor in the misery of the left arm. I want food, not explanations. If I hire you to take care of my automobile, or factory, or shirtwaist counter, I do not want to hear why things are half doneg I want results. This is cold, cruel, heartless talk. It is -- to all second-raters and shirkers. But to real men it is joy and glad- ness. They rejoice to make good themselves, they expect others to make good, and they like to hear preached the gospel of making good. Remember the story of the three servants that received their talents, five, two and one, respectively. On their master's re- turn they all rendered account of their stewardship. The first two had doubled their capital. Each of them said so in fourteen words, and their work was pronounced, uwell done, good and faith- ful servant.n Servant number three had accomplished absolutely nothing, but he made report in forty-two words, three times as long as the others in their report. There you have it. The less you do the more you explain. EFFICIENCY-- Learn the word by heart. Get to saying it in your sleep. Of all the joys on this terrestrial sphere, there is none quite so soul-satisfying and so one-hundred-per-centish as MAKING GOOD. Do your work a little better than any one else could do it. That is the margin of success. nMaking good needs no foot-notes, Failure requires forty-two words.n SUPERINTENDENT H. s. n READ I I THE KEYSTONE

DI Lu Hey Dilly, hi Dilly, ho Dilly, oh, Hey Dilly, hi Dilly, Dilly Monroe. on ---- The notes that you wrote and then threw on the floor, That algebra quiz that you flunkedg The wrappers of candy you ate on the sly, The stub of a pencil you junkedg Oh, Dilly will sweep them and gather them up, And carry them off to destroy, He'll brush up that spitball and chalk that you threw As your neighbors you tried to annoy. Oh, some men may work on an overtime shift, To finish an airplane or gun, u And house work is famed for its phoenixlike traits, A woman's work never is done. But D11ly's far worse off than any of these. For they've got some limit, at least, The extra shift ends when the whistle is blown, At evening the housework is ceased. But Dill has a gang of 500 or more, To clean for and sweep for. And then As soon as he's finished, the kids come along And he has to start over again! So ---- Sing hey for our Dilly, his straw hat and broom. Sing hey Dilly, hi Dilly, oh, Sing hey Dilly, hey Dilly, yea Dilly for Theodore nDil1yn Monroe! Priscilla Bryant '44 THE JANITOR'S POINT OF VIEW The janitor of a school is like a ship on the ocean, in it but not of itg so his viewpoint must be a little different from the average. But on one subject we all agree and that is the ne- cessity for a good education. Now, maybe if we stay in Belfast, we can get along all right without it, but we probably won't stay in Belfast. I have seen four classes graduate while I have been here, fine boys and girls, but I don't know where they are now. They've gone away to work, and so will you. So every one of you ought to be on the honor roll at least once a year. I know you could if you tried, and you would if you knew how much it means to you--don't be a- fraid of knowing too much--If you learn all that Mr. Jellison can teach you, you won't be an Einstein. And if you want to be a second Eddie Rickenbacker you will have to know more than Mr. Rhoades' course in pre-flight aeronautics. THE KEYSTGNE
