m)t Vo I. 8, No. JPluc anb IDljite 3. NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL Feb. 1927 INITIATIVE There is one word above all that you should apply to your work in school or in the world. The word is the basis of success, it is the keynote to greatness, the word is initiative. Perhaps you have heard of it, perhaps you have used it, but have you ever applied it? Initiative means, doing the right thing at the right time without being told to do it. Consider the great men of our nation. How many of them would have become what they are if they had waited until fortune turned their way? One of the most foolish things in life is to wait for fortune to favor you. What if she should pass you by? A whole lifetime wasted .waiting for something you never received. Why wait? W hy not do as the great have done, wade in and grasp what you want? You will probably find it hard work doing things many times that you don’t like to do, but in the end it’s worth it. At the time you may have almost given up when your path was blocked by some obstacle which you thought impossible .o surmount. De-tcrmir.alicn to surmount it takes you over. It may have taken many weary days to accomplish but as you look back at the problem you realize that it wras only a stone in the foundation of success, and a strong foundation is made up of many such stones. So the sooner you make up your mind to take the initiative and surmount all obstacles, the sooner you will achieve your goal, success. Janet Milligan, ’28. OPPORTUNITY CALLS Lost, somewhere between sunrise and sunset. Two golden hours each set with sixty diamond seconds. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.
