Superintendent Bulan Reveals His Secret ot Success So that the lives of the members of the class of 1948 may be happy, prosperous, and useful, Superintendent of Schools Harvey S. Bolan has revealed his secret of success. There is no mystery concern- ing this secret, it is, in fact, no secret at all, and it is the prime purpose of our schools to teach us what the superin- tendent has summed up in the follow- ing six Words: KNOW THYSELF, CONTROL THYSELF, GIVE THYSELF. Know thyself: from the time of Soc- rates this has been the first unofficial commandment. To accomplish this feat, you need a liberal, as well as literal, education. Honesty with yourself, as well as with your fellowmen, and an unbiased, broad-minded point of view are essentials in the study of humanity. Control thyself: it is a long, hard struggle to smile when you want to strike, to laugh when you Want to cry, to keep an unprejudiced mind in prej- udiced societyg but mental and physical control are milestones on the road to success. Give thyself: give not only of your earthly goods, but--more important-of your time, your effort, and your spirit. True happiness comes in giving your- self to those about you and to posterity.

High-School Principal Advises Graduates When Mr. Gaskins was interviewed by a Lodestone member, he gave the fol- lowing advice to the Class: Best wishes to the Seniors of '48, The members of the faculty join me in expressing appreciation of your quality of giving readily and generously of yourselves to the duties before you. Success usually attends effort. This willingness to work and to give is essen-' tial to attainments which we desire. You have helped us this year to fine accom- plishments, especially in music and ath- letics. We shall miss most the warmth of your personalities and the cheerful- ness of your smilesf' Vice-Principal Discloses Philosophy for Living In offering his sincere congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1948, Mr. Hess reiiects that you-the hope of the future-face today the enigma of a world striving desperately for peace, yet slipping helplessly toward war. What must be done to serve one's country in time of war is common knowledge. But so few realize their duty in promoting peace. Defending America by building world peace demands that each one of you in the smallest act of his life exalts tolerance, promotes charity, and shows mercy and love' to his fellowmen. There- fore, never refuse an' opportunity to serve. Seize eagerly every chance to im- prove learning. Ignorance and intoler- ance are brothers. What you do- makes you what you are. And what you are speaks so loudly that people cannot hear what you say. From t'Invictus, Mr. Hess quotes W. E. Henley: I am the Master of my fate: I am the Captain of my soul.
