ADDRESS TO THE SENIORS HE world of today demands the individual who can produce results. Results count most and alibis least. At some stage in your lives you are going to be confronted with the problem of failure. We all face this problem at times. When that time arrives, don’t look for an alibi for your failure. The alibi maker betrays a weakness of character that cannot long escape detection by his employers or superiors. He is afraid to face realities or to look failure in the eye. Yet, failure itself is no disgrace. Two of our national heroes, Lincoln and Grant, were considered failures for a great part of their lives. Failure becomes insignificant if you refuse to accept it as final. However, if you alibi whenever you lose, you are admitting complete failure. You have then given in to it. Courage, self-mastery, hard work and intelligent effort are the essentials of a successful life, and, in the long run, character is the decisive factor. Formulate for yourself a set of high ideals, and then try your best to live up to them. Remember that it is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. You should all keep your eyes on the stars, hut be certain that your feet are on the ground. ALVAH G. HAYES
