R SUCCESS - THEIR REWARD , LLOYD F. RUMBAUGH B. S., M. Ed., D. Ed. Superintendent of Mt. Pleasant Township School District Bebe, the English philosopher, in 731 A. D. wrote: A time so filled with many and great commotions and conflicts that what is to be said concerning them, or what end they will have, cannot yet be known. So it may be written today, centuries later, in a confused world in which conflicting economic theories, political philosophies, wars and rumors of more wars exist. History teaches us that every age and period has its years of greatness, as well as its years of despair. Time marches on and the year 1950, the mid-year of the century, ushered in a new era. The youth of today is on the threshold of this era. There is a wealth of opportunity in industry, business, agriculture, re- search, and government. The future is promising and good, and leads us onward to better things and greater lives. The youths with enthusiasm, courage, initiative, trained minds and skilled hands will be our leaders of tomorrow. Education has mode these privileges and opportunities possible for these are the values to which the American high school is devoted. We are faced with war and rumors of war. The enemies of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice never cease. The security of freedoms in a democracy is a never ceasing struggle and is never gained or acquired permanently. Each generation must earn, acquire, and secure for itself its own national security. As an individual, the greatest security that any young person has is in himself-what he is, what he can do with his hands or brain, the part that he can play among his fellows. lt has been said that: Education is the hope of youth: youth is the hope of Democracy and Democracy is the hope of the World. Prior to the Civil War Abraham Lincoln said, lf we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could better iudge what to do and how to do it. Like those living in Lincoln's day, we also live in uncertain times. Do present unsettled conditions mean that youth should not consider the future: need not plan and prepare for the years to follow? Americans have lived in uncertain times before and have suc- cessfully weathered periods of uncertainty. We will always need those who can think, are willing to work, can cooperate with associates, and will not bow to defeatism. As Americans, we believe in education. Our history proves the wis- dom of this belief. As a high school student, duty requires you to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Use your ability, enjoy your success, profit by your failures. A chapter of the National Honor Society has been established in your high school. The four cardinal objectives of this organization are Charac- ter, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. Character is what you are. Our nation will be no stronger than the character of its citizens. Service requires the giving of time and effort to those in need of the same. lt is concerned with the improvement of the individual and society. The satis- faction gained from rendering worthwhile service is one of the highest rewards life has to offer. All ages need leadership. True leadership requires character and willingness to serve. Leadership is an inspirational influence that comes to him who tries to do his best and constantly main- tains high ideals. Scholarship has been defined as a search for knowl- edge, truth, and wisdom, a search that should continue through life. lt produces mental growth and is an essential element of progress. Do not forget the objectives of the National Honor Society. They are eminently worth seeking not only in high school but in all walks of life, after you have completed your high school education. -L.
