A few have a faint idea, and I have heard at least one, myself, laugh openly at the idea of our trying to print a small weekly newspaper. Of course this hurt- maybe more than that person really intend- ed it to-ibut it is just these little things that make life so hard for the serious student. It is a fact that some people are so pessimistic that they think that the student benefits only financially from these social activities. This sounds absurd and you who know pass it by with a smile and think no more of itg but it stays im- pressed and fresh on the stud'ent's mind and makes him wonder if his efforts are worth while after all. Hodgdon High is very grateful for those who have subscribed for the paper or put an advertisement in it. It helps a lot-more than just the few cents you paid us-it shows the real spirit of the people of Hodg- don. This is not praise or a pat on the back, it is a statrnent made by one who has had a great deal to do with people of all kinds4Principal Lambert, of Houlton. He said' that if a small town of only 1200 could build and maintain a four year high school there must be splendid spirit in Hodgdon, and that there was no getting away from that fact. Take that for what it is worth. Most large High Schools publish a school paper every month, a few of the larger ones with an enrollment of 2000-3000 publish one every week. So you can see that, as we publish one every week, and have only about ninety enrolled we are not doing anything common-on the contrary it is very unusual. Even some of the students think that the publication of this paper of little im- portance. I, personally, think that it is a splendid activity, to be rated with basketball or baseball. It lets the public know what nunnuguununu-nun-un:unnnunnnnnuuuuuununnuu is going on in their school, what the results of athletic enterprises are. It also gives the student a chance to put to practical use his acquired knowledge of English, History, and Business Methods, as well as to try out such literary gifts as may be present. It is hoped that next year we will pub- lish the Tatler the whole of the year. We hope you will support us next year as you so generously have done this school period. You may be sure that we shall do our best to give you something in return. Ellery Anderson, '32 HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESS It is natural that everyone should want to make a good living. Everyone wants to have plenty of money to take care of him- self and to live comfortably all his life. He wants to live well when he is too old to work and to have plenty of money to do right by his family. In order for one to do this he must do three things: First-He must choose Xa good career. He should choose a good job which he likes, one he knows he will not tire of. He should work hard and do all in his power to make his career successful. Second-He should try to develop for him- self a good personality. This means you should win, if you can, the respect of your fellowmen. Do all you can to get the atten- tion and admiration of other people. Take, for example, two men who have been pals ever since they were children. They have graduated from High School and College together. One starts im-mediately to work himself into a good position. He works hard and makes a success of his career, living well in his old age with plenty of money to educate his children and take care of himself for the rest of his life.
