The Fortunate Isles Ah.' If our souls but poise and swing Like the needle in its brazen ring Ever level and ever true. To the toil and the task we have to do, lVe shall sail securely and safely reclrh The Fortunate Isles, on whose shining Iwcirlz The sights we see and the sounds we hear lViII be those of joy and not of fear. 0 MANY things have there been in Lafayette to enrich our lives, that as we fledglings leave our nests to try our wings, it is easier to summon up vaguely pleasant memories than specific reasons for the sensation these memories create. Losing sight of the significance of its name, We are inclined to associate with commencement thoughts of the years behind rather than of those on which we are entering. The only rule of success is to keep growing in in- dustry, refinement and character. Opportunity to grow in culture and work- manship have been abundantly provided at Lafayette. But if success is synonymous with growing, not to improve the skills we have acquired in high school would prove disastrous. Growing on the job, keeping the mind alert for a larger and hetter service-these are the ways in which we can take our places in the ranks of Lafayettc's alumni to our own and our school 's glory and satisfaction. ltts not the joy of years we leave behind, nor yet the rosy and uncertain future shaped in our dreams, but the very significant present which concerns us. We can reach the Fortunate Isles only by putting our hest efforts in every task undertaken. By living each day on the heights at which we pitch our ideals of the future shall we make the most of past, opportunities and 'tsail securely toward future happiness. Tl QA Y J 11 V ,
