Character Character or personality is one of the greatest assurances of success. Some people may deny this statement, but if it is considered logically and carefully its truth asserts itself. Y-our character is you and no force, however mighty, can dis- claim it. Most things in life undergo a change. The same is true of character. It suffers changes, but no matter how it is altered it is still a vital part of you. Every word, deed, and action is a further credit or discredit to one's character. Your natural endowments and propensities as well as acquired tendencies are all included. Other people's evaluation of you depends wholly on your personality. Environment has much to do with the formation and development of your char- acter. Personal effort, however furnishes the artistic touches that complete the work of art and sets it up as a success. No matter what field of life one enters, success is measured by honesty, stead- fastness, individuality and righteousness. What are these qualities? .... but traits of character and an accurate reflection of your innermost thoughts and deeds. Can this be prudently denied? Some people attempt to 'assume a character, but the deception becomes apparent in a short time, for some phase of gaucherie is hound to creep in and disclose the hypocrisy. The consequences need not be mentioned. Know thy character and you know thine self, not from knowledge of what a paid phrenologist imparts but from words, deeds and actions. All throughout history distinguished people had force of character. Their very features told the world why they were successful. Without character, nothing availeth you. The most brilliant qualities become useless when they are not sustained by force of character. Unless one bears in mind the necessity of character develop- ment and strives to develop one worthy of praise, his success cannot be assured. The path that acclaims success seems lacking, for when character is not upheld all else is devoid of power. Virginia Konopa, '31. OUR PLEA We beg Thee, O Lord, to grant us strength to do, All necessary services in honor of Youg Grant us wisdom to be brave and true, Unto the cause of our dear Gold and Blue, In each task intrusted to us, May we a true purpose see. O Lord, please teach us not to sigh, When tasks we are told to tryg But grant us faith to be on guard, To see behind each duty hardg Whatsoever our task may be this is our creed, That we are on earth to fill a need.

AN APPEAL T0 THE READER You see on this page a picture of the Counselor staff. Perhaps they look like a happy and contented set of mortals-or perhaps, as if they thought they were above the average senior class of a high school. But ah! appearances in this case would be sadly deceiving. You see here a persecuted, down-trodden, worn-out classg the early settlers of our glorious land of the free could not boast of more patient, or painful struggling than we. Besides the ordinary strain of four years high school course, and the monthly issue of the Counselia, we have undertaken the publication of 'an annual, a work that would cause stouter hearts than ours to quail. The compiling and publishing of an animal is an education in itself. Outr editor-in-chief is no longer a brunette, for her hair is turning to a silvery gray color. ln no time, she' might be compelled to advertise for hair tonics. The advertising editors report that they have worn out two pairs of slippers traversing the streets of -the business district of Chicago. But our humorists have made the alarming statement that they feared of being demented before they finished the jokesg and they certainly will lose the last inch of their mental property, respected reader, if you don't laugh at the jokes. So, in your char- ity, do at least smile at them. Our sights and mental abilities a-re completely ex- hausted: the prophetess exchanged the ambitions of the girls when rewriting her reports. The result was a great commotion and opposition, almost ending in a book storm at the perplexed sorceress. Now, occasions like these are very nerve rack- ing, and indeed, medical men have pronounced them extremely injurious to the nerv- ous system. We appea-l to you, therefore, for sympathy, and after carefully perusing our honest statements, you surely cannot refuse it. However, we do not regret the time and labor we have given to our annual, for whatever is worth having is worth working for, -and we recall the words of the poet: Nothing .is useless, or low, Each thing in its place is best, And what S00lllS but idle, show, Strengthens and supports the rest. lf The Counselor has given you an insight to our school life, and has better acquainted you with the pure atmosphere in which we dwell-where progress in virtue and intellect keep pace-we shall feel that we have not failed in the publica- tion of our little crown The Counselorf' Anna Wych, '31. 4'- SQSYA' HI . - Y' 4 ' K 1 6 x ,J .,, tg, 'O qs :Z - f - I : i 2 W1 11 ---f-W f---'H - - f W . , ' ,-- V tl ---'ue-:fuzz-2- -''v-1 '::r '-''-- -H--'- -122''--'-'--:':'Lt.1wgwr-lf:-fH.
