Page 12—The Campus Voice—Auril-MiV, 1914 SURMOUNTING OBSTACLES A MKSSAGK TO (H'U GKADl ATKS You an soon to bo graduated from our high school ami collcw and somo of you may chance to xo to colloxo and continue your studies so that you may the better be able to cope with the problems of life and some of you may feel •hat you have sufficient training to enable you to overcome the oh. stacies that you will meet in playing the xreat drama of life. He that as it may. there will be obstacle to surmount—plenty of them. Remember that the xreat eat obstacle l“ overcome will be yourself- The xreatest satisfaction that you will ever experience will lie that which comes from conquering your own shortoomlnxs. That which others try to do for you will not make you xrow. It is what you do for yourself that Counts. Your real worth will be measured by the obstacles you overcome. Often in middle life we find men and women dissatisfied with the kind of work they are rnxakcd In. with little or no chance of changing their occupation at their time of life. Realizing how trying such unfortunate circumstances must be. there is light In the present and hope and encouragement in the future if they will resolve to take heart and perform cheerfully the duties of the position in which Inexoiahle circumstance may have placed them. If this should ever be your lot it is hoped that you will firmly resolve to make the Im'sI of your situation and like the oyster that is unable to expel the grain of sand that has chanced to enter Its shell, covers It with pearl and make it as beautiful as possible. Many men and women have found themselves with such uncongenial surroundings. but hijve really mastered them and been very successful In their work despite the unfavorable circutu-slant es. If you find yourself Irrevokably tied to an occupation for which you have a distaste, do not slight your task because it is uncongenial. but make up your mind to do well every thing that Is entrusted to you and to do It cheerfully. Resolve not to be unhappy yourself nor to cause unhappiness in others because you do not have tin-kind of work you are lies! adapted to. Take stock of yourself. It may tie that you have underestimated your own |M wer . Hut be that as It may. your duty Compliments of the CRUMPTON’S Service Station Hampton and Sumter St. Sumter, S. C. is now clear to you: no ...attor bow distasteful it may be to you. provided that it Is In Itself honest ..nd honorable, throw yourseif Into it with all your mlxht. See that you put yourself under rigid discipline each day. He true to your best instincts. He faithful to your t .»k. He animated with the high purpose of pleasing (Sod rather tl-.an yourself, and It may lie that the cultivation of these high purposes and noble characteristics will attract to you opportunities of bettering your conditions. This, of course. Is only a bare possibility, but the Joy and satisfaction you will re elvo from f.e consciousness of a thing well done will more than counterbalance the disappointment If the opportunity of lettering your condition should never come. As one famous writer has said: • No power on earth can prevent my soul from holding converse wllh the angels even though with my hands I feed pigs. If you are sincere in your efforts and do your task well, you will not only he happy, but like the spotless Illy that draws Its substance from the dark, slimy mud. and sheds beauty anil fragrance all around, you will scatter sunshine and happiness to others whom you chance to meet. Some of the noblest and mo t worthwhile characters in t.ie wo I j's history have been evolved amid the most unfavorable and uncongenial circumstances. He ir In pund that If you cannot attain fame or renown according to the wo. Id's estimate, you can at least build u.» a iM-.iuilful and synipa-thetl • attitude toward your fellow-men. which, after all. constitutes .he greate t success to which siho'a-.ly and most highly cultured can attain. The resolutio nof a mighty will, which will not back-track, that a thing can be and should he done, is of prime Importance in the accomplishment of that filing. When General Grant planned Ills great campaign, he did not say that h«. would enter Richmond If it were possible. If the mud were not too deep and the rivers too high, for hi had an objective and that was Richmond. He fixed his dote mimtlon upon that, no matter how seemingly Impossible the task might be. There was no deviation. no reservation, no doubt or wavering of mind. So many young people start out to reach the goal of Ihelf cherished ambition but fall by the way-side bee iuso they find too many obstacles tb it take too much energy to overcome. It is easy enough to swim with the tide, but to ut-t nipt to stem the tide Is |u!te another thing and requires determined effort and perserverance on the part of the swimmer. Kvory vocation Is full of thorns. The thorns must be encountered and overcome If the rose are to lie hail. If you stop when the load goes bald. become discouraged and give up. you demoralise character, weaken manhood and ruin reputation. The man who can grip hi mm with an Iron grasp and follow it over every obstacle Is the one who succeeds and the one that Commencement Announcements May 19-20, 1944 May 19—Friday—Class Day pro-g.am.

How we live and what we do either marks us as good or bad player in this game. Since life Is a game we must learn how to play it. We must learn hoth to win anil lose. A great number of u cannot take defeat, but in this game we must learn to lose a well as win. When we w in we should take it with a smile, and in lo rg although it hurts sometimes, learn to do the same, for there Is honor even in defeat. If we can keep cur heads up and keep | lu King along things wllll brighten up.

The trees are budding, flowers blooming, green gras [•coping and somewhere in the distance the songs of birds are heard. Do you wonder what's going or.? Wake up sleepy heads from your three months of long winter napping, for spring is In the air. Yes! Ye girl It has actually come at last. Aren't you glad? I know I am. Whq don't you prove to the world that you are glad? Get rid of that dull diah winter appearance. Spring Is supposed to be a gay time. Don't let o.d man lazy get a-hotd of you. Hep up for spring. Change that tiresome hairdo of yours, please. Get a new shade of lipstick and some perky spring lime togs, foe after all Its spring time and you should at lea t tlook springy. Just a hint. It really doesn't seem so. but It's true, another school term is Juxt about to come to an end. We've come a long way since the 20th of September. 1943. I know you've found this school term to be somewhat different from he others, haven't you. girls? Now. don't go saying that you don't know what I'm driving after. Well. It has been more of a girls' school thi sterm because of the scarcity of boys. But I think that we girls have gotten along pretty good together. don't you? Soon! Yes almost too soon we're going to bid teachers and friends adieu, lesson time is about over now. It makes a wave of sadness roll over me to ever think of leaving, but I hope Vo meet each of you girls pigain next term, and those whom I don't meet again, here's hoptn all the luck and prosperity that one person can have. So. until our paths cross again girls, understand, this Isn't good bye. but Just f o-long and a happy landing for each and every one of you. —Dorothy M. Smith— 4 . Some folks are like row-boats, for they have to In- pulled wherever they go. Sometimes it is a hard struggle to keep them pointed In the right direction. Other are like sail-boats. If the wind blows oust, that's their direction. If It blows weit. they go that way. Of course, it Is possible for them to beat against the wind. but they don't often do It. They are Inclined to follow every wind of enioton and papular sentiment.
