7 hitnrial . uilllaking 0.91117 Mark Years ago the expression of Making our mark carried a vastly different idea from what we think of it today. In past years, making one's mark was thought of as an illiterate per- son who could not write his name and must make his mark on documents or to whatever his name must be signed. Thus the expression has been handed down. Now, we think of making our mark as doing some great service in the world or acting so worthily a part on this stage of life that We will be remembered in generations to come. Therefore, if we are to leave our mark, in the sense we think of it, we cannot be satisfied to make it as our forefathers made theirs. We cannot say, father was illiterate and he was successful, or the father cannot say, my son is as far advanced as I Was. He can get on. But we are at this particular time facing the rising sun of a new day in the world's history, and the son cannot get along, unless he has taken advantage of youth. If he does not, he hasn't a chance to make his mark as we interpret it today. One must have the development of mind, heart and hand, to be on equilibrium with the enthusiastic, wide-awake young people who are com- peting for the higher positions of the World. Preparation, then, must be our watch word. In order to be able to make our mark we must learn to work, fight, love and grow. These are the main elements of success. But you must have faith and you must have hope, you must love and be strong. There is no royal road to learning. Strive to do the honorable thing and by the unalterable law of the universe, you will place your name at the top of the list of famous men and women. But remember- He who is greatest of all, must be servant of all. If a sculptor, preacher, lawyer or teacher, leave your mark so indeli- bled into civilization that it will not be shattered by storms of change. The world is calling for men who have learned to make their mark in the fullest, lustiest way, rather than the way in which our predecessors made their mark. The able man can answer a world-wide appeal for service. Give us men. A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, and ready hands-men who have opinions and will, men Who have honor. Rome was not built in a day, so we must fight and work from the cradle to the grave to gain our promotions in the making of our mark, and to keep our lives an open book. The man who is true to his own self is one who leaves his mark. The higher you climb the more temptations you are encountering and here is where you fail if you do not make the preparation for the making of your mark. If you can hold the confidence of those you serve, be an example of honesty, truth, and manhood. Be able to live a life open and above board, veritably, this is a mark of making your mark in holding the mark after having made the mark. -Louise Marley Forty
