It is not easy for a youth to believe himself a failure. To accept defeat is diilicult, for youth must win. Every fiber of a young body strives toward victory, and when this goal is met, he is happy. But victory merely whets his appetite for greater challenge-he is rejuvenated and lights still harder the next time. To give up is uncommon in youth, because the horizon of what could be is as wide as the sky and as endless as the stars.

kx i Youth's mind combines with his heart to give him spirit and faith in himself, his team, and his country. Spirit buoys him up so that he can go down in defeat and still emerge cheering, asking for another chance. Happiness between two young people brings with it the sweet promise of tomorrow. They do not see the lake, but they see its beauty in their dreams of what will be. It is not the mature, sophisticated understanding of adult minds, but rather the uncomplicated acceptance of youth. Tomorrow holds everything for them because they are young and the word cannot does not exist. They will go on to maturity and the scope of possibil- ities will narrow, but the beauty of the moment is theirs and, if they are careful, the promise of tomorrow will go with them until their tomorrows are gone. 1 V , ' i s I X U' 1 X Vx N ,ng J' l i , r ' .'

ff' I I 1 ,I . C' 'l V 'fry Loneliness is ice-water and sour milk to the diet of the mind. It is the feeling which comes not only from being alone, for it is possible to be lonely in a crowd. lt is rather the failure ofa meeting of minds. It is the result of a lack of comprehension of thought on the part of others. It is something which is not easily overcome. even by the strongest of men: for loneliness is a lost thought or a dead hope.
