We younger people listen in earnestness to these discussions and often wish pas,4ionately that. we were older so that we too might have a share ill the duty that lies so near to every heart. But do we ever stop to think that we tool have duties to perform that are just so lll2ljllltlll1IllUllS as those of any adult per- son: duties. that. if we conscientiously do. will enable us to better share the burdens of later years. and duties that. if we neglect to do will result in the degredation of our lives to such an extent that we will never be able to help make the world better? I refer especially to the duty of building character, a character founded upo11 true and noble principles. lt should be the aim of every student to strive to make his school-life clean and honest, to do his best 011 each and every occasion. because habits formed in youth are potent facto-rs. If we form some good habits during these happy years when we are still under the guidance of teachers and parents, we may be sure that they will stay with us until we reach our iinal' goal. helping us over the bad places in the hard journey of life. O11 the other hand. if we allow even a few bad habits to creep in. in the springtime of life, we will discover, perhaps. years later that this tiny habit has grown to the colossal size a11d is as immovable as the Rock of Gibralter. The duty that lies nearest each of us. is to see to it. that we let none of these bad habits get a per- manent foothold. If we find that such a one has started to grow. we should turn all 01111 energy toward Slll0ii1P1'11lLE it with good deeds. If we sacrifice this little now. we will be able to go on in our life work. and in the eml feel th it we have honestly succeeded. Mary Rossborough '26 I Vanishing Roads Roads disappear in the distance. just so do our todays. Maybe the years have been of success and maybe of failure -but they have receded into the land I-lack There. Years. months. Zlllli days have followed Time into th.- Past. taking the joys. pleasures. friendships. and olden play- mates with them. Yes. they have passed far beyond that distant horizon. Now again they return from yesterday to meet us in the glad to-morrow. Absence strengtheneth friendship. when the last recollectionsi were kindly.

What of a future lay ahead of him? His was but the memtory of a Yanished Road. We. too. have our Vanished Roads. but we must have our tomorrows that we may continue those Yanishing Roads.
