EDITORIALS KEYS TO SUCCESS What are the keys to success? Success is vveryone's goal, but first one should decide what real and lasting success is. True suc- cess is something that must be earned, it cannot be purchased by loving parents or in- fluencial friends. In this great country of ours we all have the same rights, advantages a.nd privileges. Our future lies entirely in our own hands. A successful future is with- in the grasp of everyone. It can be ours if we preserve our heritage and freedoms, pre- pare ourselves for the future, assume our responsibilities, and maintain high standards and ideals for ourselves and our country. The first key to success is scholarship. Scholarship is acquired only through long and tedious work. Step by step, day by day, we must grow intellectually. Realizing that there are many financial aids available to those wishing to further their education, young men and women should learn of their requirements and possibilities. Good scholar- ship is as essential to true success as a Hrm foundation is necessary to any structure. Certainly this key, scholarship, must be at- tained before the door to success may be opened. . The second key which must be considered is leadership. Leadership is the ability to accept responsibility and the knowledge and willingness to work with others in solving their problems. The problems of today are many and greatg therefore, we must have great leaders. Among us, the youth of today, the world must find the leaders of tomorrow. We must not be found lacking. We must not Olilbf be prepared, but we must also be found willing. Still another key which will enable us to be belief Prepared to open the door to suc- cess is character. The essential traits of a 809d character, such as integrity, depend- ablllfy and humility are difficult to maintain at.all times. Such characteristics are ac- fllllfed Only when we earnestly desire to be 3 DGPSOH WOTtl1y of the trust and respect of our companions. Each day we mold our character. Let us strive for the best, real- IZQHB' llhatuthe apparent. sacrifices of today will seem insignificant tomorrow. The fourth and last key of all is service, service to our community and state as well as our country. There are many ways in which to serve. Many served their commun- IW as a pollceman, fireman or mayor. Others lConlinued on page 55l A KEYS TO OUR FUTURE As the last of our high school days begin to slip away into the past, we, the Y0Uth Of America, commence to think seriously Of 001' future as adult men and women., The d001' to citizenship stands before us Waiting-to be opened, so that we may take our place In the long line of successful people. Let us consider what keys will enable us to unlock the door to a successful, happy and useful future. Leadership, scholarship, char- acter and service are the attributes upon which we most certainly must depend. So these qualities, in reality, m.ust be the very keys the youth of today needs to possess. Courtesy, friendliness, technical knowl- edge, a sense of humor, honesty, fairness, dependability and courage most certainly are the essential attributes of a successful leader. Leadership is achieved by no magic power nor inherited genius. It may be acquired and developed, however, if one will make the most of the numerous opportuni- ties which present themselves. Our years in school have offered us many such opportuni- ties, but now we must l'ook to the future. As we enter the business world, take our part in the industrial system of our country or continue our education, we must strive con- stantly to acquire these essential qualities which are basic in good leadership. Only then shall we be able to take our rightful place in our democracy, assume our share of its responsibilities, and achieve success. Cer- tainly leadership is one of the four keys by which one is able to unlock the door to suc- cessful citizenship. Scholarship is certainly another key that must be used to unlock the future, if we wish to lead successful and better lives. This new world of atomic energy, amazing inven- tions and almost breath-taking speed re- quires young people to be constantly alert to new ideas and theories. Life today brings so many challenges to youth. We must be pre- pared to use the knowledge, opportunities and inventions of today for the best advance- ment of the most people. Our years at high school have taught. us -not only the product of three and six, not only who did this or that, but also how to think clearly and at- tack and approach problems with adult con- ceptions and carry them through to an adult decision. Is this not the true value of schol- arship? HUGH HASTINGS
