THE LINCOLNIAN Five C0l17'l1'8jl. Grlmlril I'11l1IiSILil1L1 UU. On the morning of April 22nd one of the fondest dreams of my life came true. I was on the platform of our assembly hall and I hacl just introduced one of the most famous people in the United States, none other than Rudy Vallee. For long months I had writ- ten and waited, hoped and prayed, and now I know that patience and persistence have their reward. Rudy was talking to the pupils on How to Make the Most Out of Onc's Life Work. He said that everyone's ambition was to gain success or achievement Cand he preferred the word achievement which implied prolonged success in the face of obstaclesj. He said that many people think that success is a secret formula but he had found out that it is composed of three factors: natural talents. environment, and a golden opportunity. He gave the following advice: i'l.ook yourself squarely in the face: and if you lack certain necessary qualities, discourage yourself in the field you have chosen, He vividly likened J person's prepara- tion for his life work to a surgeon's preparation for an operationi if one tool was missing the operation might not be a success. The climax to the program was when at Mr. Stevens' request Rudy, all smiles, stepped down from the platform to conduct our school orchestra in his favorite, The Maine Stein Song. The pupils of Lincoln Junior High School will long remember the delightful morning of April 22, 1938! PAUL KEYES, DIV. F-8
