THE ADVOCATE l7j hitn LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE M. Lunsford, '33 Take care of the pennies, the dollars will watch out for themselvesf' Clancing over a group of well-known maxims, I came upon this one, which has been so frequently quoted by people in all walks of life. However, instead of pondering upon its truth and simplicity, I recalled a similar idea. Take care of the minutes and hours, the days, weeks, and years will watch out for them- selves. As we go about our accustomed duties, few of us realize the veracity of this statement. So often we plunge into a new enterprize without considering its effect upon our life as a whole and while away precious minutes in idle dreaming or worthless occupation, without realizing that truly meritorious ac- complishments are thereby being made more difficult. Few people need the reminder that 'fall work and no play makes Jack a dull boyf, but many of us use this as an excuse for dawdling, and squandering our oppor- tunities. Consider the effort that was expended by any of our successful countrymen whose accomplishments were hard-won and were obtained by no means on a silver platterf' Washington, Lincoln, Edison, or any of our gloriously acclaimed heroes deserved great credit for discovering, and then sticking to the road which would bring him ultimately to his goal. Especially in our school years how easy it is to let matters slide and not bother about the extra effort! What is the difference between a plus and a minus when you are through school, anyhow?,' Just this! By putting forth that extra effort and proving to yourself that the higher mark was possible, you have thereby further devetloped your riala will-power and in the future any effort will be just that much easier. When we are beyond the care and protection of our parents and teachers, we shall be faced with making all serious decisions alone, affecting not only our lives and happiness, but also the well-being of many others. How greatly will the character building we accomplished dur- ing our school career help us at these times! Our lives, now, are in the embryo stages of production. May we realize the importance of our every deed, and aim to achieve our desired goal. Cod has given man golden hours, each containing sixty precious minutes. May we use them for the greatest benefit to ourselves and to all mankind! SENIOR and SOPH ! Betty Rosenkrans, 734 Seniors: You don't need lectures to spur you on to unknown heights.
