10 SOMAN HATS. EVENTS EDITORIALS OUR MOTTO, “LABOR OMNIA VINCIT.” “Labor conquers everything.” When we were Freshmen these words meant little to us, but in the past four years we have gradually learned the truth. We would have been much better off if we had followed this motto. As it is, we have let many opportunities slip by, and we have made many fail- ures. Why? Because we have been lazy and have lacked confidence. We have ali sought the easiest way out of every tight situation. We have received many zeros because we have not persevered in our attempts to do many seemingly impossible lessons. We see the folly of it now. When we go out into the world we shall never succeed if we don’t work hard. If we fail once, or fail many times, we must work harder until we do succeed. Positions won’t come to us. We must go aiter them and fight for them. Promotion will not come by loafing, but by doing extra work. And, above all, do only honest work. It may seem at first that the crooked men and women succeed, but eventually they will pay the penalty. Don’t let somebody else do your school work for you even if it means a poor mark to do it yourself. You gain nothing by copying, but lose everything, for your own mind is not broadened; you lose ambition and will always try to get along on somebody else’s ability. You may win honor and glory by dishonest means, but the man who eventually succeeds honestly is the bet- ter and happier man. ‘Honesty is the best policy.” There‘ore, although it seems at first better to follow the easier, the broad and crooked path to success, in the long run the man who takes the straight and narrow path beset with obstacles, will win, ROBERT DWYER, ’20. OK OK YOUR JOB. We are now on our last lap of school life. Some of us will soon go forth into the vast business world. Has a high school education helped us enough to get a good position, or are we going to go to some business college to put on a bright finish to the work which we have already done? Have we powder and shot enough to get a good position? Are we going to accomplish something by just referring back to the High School? No! Your shot is what you have learned. You must have powder to put it across. Have you the powder to do this? You may have been one of the honor pu- pils, but thet is not saying that you will get the best position. You must have the powder and shet. You must be frank and earnest. You must have powder enovgh to get the position, and then put in mcre powder and climb the ladder to success. You may have been especially bright in High School but that is not,say- ing what vou will do when you get outside where there is always a chance to get ahead. Out there it is the best man who is wanted, the one who can heip his employer by getting himself above the first rung in the ladder of success. As a man thinketh so should he act. And when he acts it should be in the right direction, upward. Perhaps you were a grouch in school but you will not and never can be a grouch outside. The place for distemper is out in a lot where there is no oné catch it, not among people. A grouch will hold the best man down, and a smile will put wings on his feet. RAYMOND CARLSON, ’20.
