- . A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS For a numher of weeks l have heen listening to a radio program telling how Hit can he donef, lf you have heard this program you know the stories of the many individuals who, in spite of almost staggering ditticulties, succeeded in their amhition, hecause they had the will to go ahead and could not he turned aside from their purpose. You who are starting out on a career, wish to succeed, not only for your own personal satisfaction, hut also for the sake of fullilling the hopes of your parents, who have sacri- ficed so much in order that you might have an education. What are the elements ot success? First of all, a consuming desire to accomplish some particular thing, a desire so strong that neither ditliculties nor lack of opportunity can thwart that desire. The goal to he reached must he clear in your own mind although the path to that goal may not he well marked. A good hook, a thrilling play or a masterpiece of music come into heing hecause the author is wholly wrapped up in his undertaking. Second, intense application to the task in hand. Many people who have talent never succeed hecause they lack the power to apply themselves. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong unless their gifts are used to the laest advantage. More failures occur through discouragement than in any other way. lf your First attempt does not hring results try another and yet another' way. Say to yourself that there must he some Way of reaching the goal. H Third, it is a well known principle of psychology that, unless the faculty of effort is kept alive hy constant exercise, it gradually disappears. The price of success is constant, untiring ettort. ln the race of life remember that the fellow alongside of you gets tired too. The one who wins the race does so hy using a few extra ounces of eltort, hut the little added eftort makes all the difference hetween success and failure. Put forth the hest that is in you and you are hound to Win. Fourth, success cannot he attained without sacrilfice. It may mean the giving up of leisure time, the curtailing of recreation, and the putting forth of effort when it seems impossihle to go on, hut the thrill of accomplishment will more than make up for the sacritices you make. Your parents have already denied themselves many pleasures in order to provide for your welfare. Show them your appre- ciation by making good in the game of life. R. WESLEY BURNHAM
