Six THE LAWRENCI AN — 1940 A Message To The Class Of 1940 Russell B. Marshall, Principal T HE world today has many opportunities to offer young men and young women who are willing and able to look for them. The business world is shaped much like a ladder, broad at the bottom and tapering toward the top. Around the foot there is a tremendous crowd through which one must force his way to reach the bottom rungs. Real effort is neces- sary for the one who has ambition and dili- gence to push through this crowd. In this crowd we find many who want to climb but are waiting for someone to clear the path for them. There are others who not only refuse to attempt the push, but will place every obsta- cle in the path of ambitious climbers. Initial progress is always slow but always possible. Industriousness at the very beginning will contribute much to your progress toward the ladder. Once a foothold has been secured, progress seems a little easier, the people lack- ing are left behind. Once you start to climb, your individual performance will be noticed and if you are worthy, there will be many will- ing hands to help you climb as high as you are able. The top of the ladder is the goal of every ambitious person- — the spot that you should aim for. But in order to arrive, you must be willing to work, and work hard. You must possess strength of body, mind, and character. With strength of mind and character you can overcome disappointments and setbacks, and then work to accomplish bigger things. Take off your coats and make up your minds to go to work. The ladder is there for each of you to climb, and you leave L. H. S. with my best wishes and sincere hope that you possess the stuff that will help you up the ladder of success and achievement.
