12 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO .My .f7JZotto Perhaps you will ask yourself why I chose such a motto as: Do the best you can, and don't worry. If I did choose it, it is because it is really my motto. When I was a freshman in High School, I was doing just as I pleased: if I did not feel like doing my work, I did not do it. I did not care what I was doing, or what rank I was getting. As a sophomore, I changed my course, I wanted to get better ranks, and do better work, but it is difficult to do some good work when you are not used to it. In the first weeks of school, I had many new subjects, such as Latin, algebra and geometry, which are not easy subjects. In the beginning I could not understand them at all, but one day I came into the geometry class and on the wall there was a pasteboard on which was written: ADO the best you can, and don't worry. Accordingly, I said to myself, 'fI'll try that out and see if it it true. ' That same day I came home and began to study my geometry, as soon as I had opened my book and tried to think over a proposition, it came like a Hash: I could understand my geometry lesson for the next day. I tried it with my other subjects and it workedg furthermore, it has worked ever since. Every time l have done my best, I did not worry. This does not apply only to school work, but to all kinds of workg because I have tested it in school work is no reason why it should not work elsewhere. So, a bit advice from one who knows: Do the best you can, and I assure you that you will not worry. -Lauriamm A. Boucher ffeeffefiffs-'QG1 To-day, we of the class of '27, Jordan High School, have reached a goal in our lives, a small one so to speak, but to us it means a great deal, for many of our high school educations have been made possible only by sacrificing parents. We stand in a great terminal, with tracks running out in every direction leading us to our world's work. The track that we take depends upon our qualifications to play this great game of life. Some of us will go on to higher institutions of learning, while others will plunge at once into the maelstrom of the world's affairs. Whichever course we take the way will not be easy, for now we will begin to realize that life is a struggle for supremacy, and may the best man win. In order to achieve success we must put our whole heart into the work, and be satisfied with nothing but our best, for what we get out of life depends largely upon what we put into it. Life is a proposition that only perseverance can conquer. We have met together for the last time. Jordan High days are now but memories, but what memories they are: thoughts that we will always want to remember with the knowledge that they were some of the sweetest of our lives. So, wherever we go, Whatever the future may hold in store for us, let us not forget the 'old' school, but think of it with reverence and say deep down in our hearts, f'Long live Jordan High-the best school on earth.
