16 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL I spent a delightful period in a girls’ music class and then just a few days ago I had the pleasure of hearing one of your classes, which had by that time won distinction at the Musical Festival, entertain a session of the Manitoba Edu¬ cational Association. These girls have learned to sing very beautifully and have developed an interest which should give much enjoyment both to them¬ selves and their friends in many hours of leisure. Classes in art, literature and physical training are developing like interests in other arts. The many pic¬ tures and trophies which hang upon your walls tell also of your prowess and enthusiasm for athletic sports. In these days when machines are doing so much of our work, these leisure time activities may well prove to be quite as useful as those which are usually considered to be more practical and important. Thus in many different ways the Isaac Newton Collegiate is preparing you to live, but when jobs are easy to get many boys and girls are being tempted to leave school before their education is completed. Some time ago the Ford Motor Company—a company which em¬ ploys thousands of young men and is in a position to know what counts most for success in the world radioed a mes¬ sage to those boys who are over anxious to leave school. They said “It is all to a young man’s credit to be eager to get to work; it is not at all to his credit to respect the work so little as to be unwil¬ ling to prepare for it. A young man, little more than a boy, spurns his chance at school, throws himself at a discount to anyone who will hire him—all be¬ cause he wants money to entertain his best girl. What does he think he is doing to his future or her ' s?—if she link her future with his. His best girl would prefer that he make something of him¬ self—prepare to start in his chosen line as at least the equal of any boy of his own generation. If he asked her opinion she would probably tell him that. “Of course, we say this with sympa¬ thetic understanding—most of us have been through it. Some of us would hesitate to say just how foolish we were in these matters. O ut of it all, how¬ ever, we have learned one thing; there IS a short cut to work. Whatever you want to be—farmer, mechanic, surgeon, anything that requires knowledge and management—the real short cut is more preparation. If you would make the road to accomplishment a little shorter, go to school a little longer, if you can; it will get you more quickly where you want to be.” GOAL What is there to return to, If there be no more God— A hand of seed, unscattered, Deep-rooted in the sod; An undeciphered gravestone That tears have washed away— What, human, can acknowledge The mouldering lump of clay? What is there to desire When the young bough is bent And the night embraces daybreak, With gesture faint and spent— When man has climbed a lifetime, Through blundering ways of sin, To fall before a gateway That’s barred him from within? What has he to return to, If there be no more God— A sheep that’s wandered in a storm Without a guiding Rod— What, human, can acknowledge Or trace where he must go, When all he leaves behind him Are footsteps in the snow? —MYRA HAAS Some men smile in the evening, Some men smile at dawn, But the man worth while Is the man who can smile When his two front teeth are gone.
