CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Evelyn Deyell In this eventful and complex age, people continually ask, “What is success? Suc- cess is said to be the favorable termination of anything attempted. This involves the termination of both worthy and unworthy objectives in life. For example, a gang might be successful in a hold up, bank robbery, or kidnapping, or a racketeering game might be played successfully. These objectives could hardly be said to be worthwhile. A person might have as his objective in life the accumulation of money, the amass- ing of a fortune through good or evil means. The making of money or profit without rendering service could not be classed as a worthy objective. What then, is worthwhile success? Worthwhile success should involve experiences that bring true happiness and soul satisfaction. It is the attainment of character through effort expended along constructive lines. A life spent in achieving a favorable termina- tion of a worthwhile objective is a successful life. As an example of a worthwhile success in life let us consider a chapter from the life of a twenty year old school teacher whose first teaching assignment was in the foot-hills of Kentucky. This occurred during the worst depression years when many living in that section of the country did not have the bare necessities of life. The in- tellectual life of that community was at low ebb. The teaching experiences of the first week were indeed disheartening. The young teacher realized that something unusual needed to be done to waken the people in that community from their lethargy. So she set up new and unprecedented rules of disci- pline and order in the school and, to the utter astonishment of many who said it could not be done, order emerged out of chaos. Not only did the young woman revolutionize the educational system but she also entered into the life of the community. Many children needed medical attention, so she startd a hospital, enlisting the services of physicians in adjoining counties for the more serious operations. Twenty-Eight vl E D J I A N ’37
