1 ++++++ +++++ +4-THE MlRRORl+++Hv+n+++w OPPORTUNITY Webster defines opportunity as a convenient time .or occasion Not a diflicult definition whatsoever but very important to the youth as he leaves the portals of his school about to go into the various walks of life. America has much to offer the young people in the way of oppor- tunity as it has splendid colleges and universities to attain advancement and to challenge any task in the business world. We graduates have much to be thankful for, we have been blessed- with more opportunities than our parents and forefathers ever had. It is up to us to pay back our large debt to society by making use of these and showing them just what we can do. We all desire success in life-and we can be sure of it if we keep our eyes and ears open for opportunities. It has been said- Success con- sists in being ready for your opportunity. Many may simply yearn for a chance to do great things instead of seizing or taking whatever means exist. If we remember the theme of the poem-- Opportunity by Edward Rowland Sill, we will recall that this same idea is repeated in the contrast between the man who sighed for the opportunity to do great things and the man who did them by seizing the means that existed, thus making the opportunity. There is a picture given of opportunity-- Opportunity has hair in front, but is bald in back. If you grasp her by the forelock, you may hold her, but if you suffer her to escape, not Jupiter himself can catch her. Few people keep the blinds to their windows lowered, but many keep the blinds to the windows of their souls closed that no ray of in- spiration may enter. Just as the sun beams brighten up a room, so can the golden rays of inspiration and opportunity gleam in our souls. Let us look upon every task or assignment as an opportunity and it may be that we will be thankful for the good use we can put it to. Be willing to work hard at what you wish to do, aim for your goal and do not let your faith ever waver. -Irma Kumnick -'O--P-I-ll-ll--P-F4--4--P4--94---+194---P-E-4-4-Pl?-E--P-l-4O--lm4QL4I--f--1- Page ll
