20 Paxton Community High School Reflector “PRESS ON!” “Press on, if fortune play thee false today. Tomorrow she’ll be true.’ The Seniors offer as their patting advice this sntall quotation to those left behind. There is no cne in such a need of pitying contempt as a “quitter” after finding himself before seme obstacle that seems to him insurmountable. All the world hates a quitter.” and the one who simply quits at the least little set-back, deserves condemnation anti scorn from u.s comrades because of his lack of perseverance. It doesn't make any difference where the disappointments fall, a real man or woman will rise superior to them, rather than allow themselves to become their slave. High School life contains many disappointments. Would it be real life if it did not? Sometimes it seems as if subjects simply will not allow themselves to be mastered; and sometimes one is unsuccessful in making the basketball team or in winning a letter. Perhaps other fancied trounle3 arise. What of it? We would not enjoy things half so much if they came without any efTort on our part. Smile at disappointment; triumph over difficulties; In short, ‘ Press on, if fortune play thee false today.—Tomorrow she'll be true.” —Emeline M. Kollman SENIOR CLASS WILL We. individually and severally, the members of ihe Senior Class, upon our passing out on this second day of June in the year of our Lord, 1922. do bequeath to the more insignificant members of the institution the following: SECTION I Item 1.
