6 ,W good that it doesn't make any differ- ence to the teacher, Cwhat gave you the idea that it did?J but that you are destroying your one great chance, one great opportunity? Keep Sailing - - Never Drift These four words, the molto of the class of 1941, constitute a very large meaning for you and me. You have doubtless heard the words of an old hymn. Life is like a big blue ocean, we are little ships that sail. That is a very good way to describe life I think. We are all boats on the great ocean of life: and if we are going to win success for ourselves in this world, we must keep sailing through the storms and tempests that are for- ever rising. Not all of the waters are going to be smooth. You must build for yourself a boat to carry you over the roaring waves. This boat must be your character, and only a strong, sturdy character can see you across Life's troubled sea. Then make this your duty and your watchwords- Keep Sailing - - Never Drift. .-li Three Factors of a Successful Nation There are three forceful factors that constitute a successful nation. The first of these is peace. Through the ages, Peace has been virtually un- known. Our age may certainly be designated as such. At present most of the world is over-run by marching troops. Nations are being over- thrown. Empires are toppling. War is rampart. Yet peace is stub- bornly clutched in a few places - - the --,.gi1igQ,, ,.r.. 1,1 THE LIVE WIRE Americas. The U. S. is still one of the nations where there is no fear of air raids and exploding bombs, no fear of death from the diabolical war machines constituted by warped minds. There can not be any denial for Peace. The second matter is Health. A country cannot be successful if its in- habitants are in poor health. During an epidemic or plague, prominent men and women die causing the country to lose great minds that have worked for mankind. In the result- ing confusion, progress often ceases in various fields of science. After the plague, progress ceases even longer during the period of recuper- ation, There can be very little argu- ment against Health. The third factor is perhaps the cum- ulation of the other two. It is Happiness. To be successful, a country must be happy. The people in the country must be happy. Happi- ness is rarely universal, for it seems that there is always some country where it is downtrodden. A positive example of a successful nation is the U. S., where the majority of the people are happy. Here again is a factor that cannot be denied. There are always some exceptions, but on the whole, Peace, Health and Happiness may be found in all success- ful nations. Any country that loses any of these, fails in its duty as a nation and may not truly be denoted as successful. A country that does give its citizens Peace, Health, and Happiness is by all means successful. The seniors of all high schools, soon leaving to become citizens of the U. S. will have a chance, to keep Peace, Health, and Happiness alive here. Seniors, try, won't you?
