o o o o o T .Asc M I A P4 ' .DTE o c l c is A Most of us will find that the doors on which we knock will be luboled 'Push.n A few will be able to push harder than others and will get farther. Several of us may even from run up against revolving doors time to time, but We hope we will all be able to find our way out of them. These revolving doors will represent the times of adversity when we arg out of a job or when we are in a position where there is no chance for promotion or increase in pay. we feel as if we are going round and round without getting anwb where. Let's for the moment wander into the future and see what will become of these members of the class of forty-five who entered different doors in the house of life. Mr. A was a boy who never seemed to study in school but always get good marks. He never knew what it was like for the rest of us to study every night Afor the next day's class and still have to cram the night before a test. Mr. A decided to go on to college and become a doctor, New he has set up practice in his own home town, but he has learned something which he will never forget. In college he found out what we went through in high school. Mr. Zffound that he had to study every day, and that he, too, had to cram the night before a test. He learned that al- though he began his life's journey through the door labeled Hwalk In,u he must pass through the door label- ed nPush,n into the room of greater knowledge before reaching the door of success labeled, nConquest Com- pany, Mr. A, President.n Although Miss B had the ability to do well in school,she never took the time to do more than the bear minimum. All through her high school years she laughed at those who worried about what they would do when they stepped out into the outside world and had to earn their own living. Shrugging hor shoulders would say, 'I'll let fate take she care of that.n Well, fate did take care of it for her but not so Emor- ably as she had anticipated, After graduation Miss B found herself with nothing in particular to do. Just staying at home helphg with the work became very dull and she soon realized that she was get- girl was couldn't ting nowhere in life. This in a nrevolving dooru and find her way out. Striking upon the idea of putting her studies to use, got a job as a bookkeeper. she Gradually she worked her way qainto the position of a privatesecretary. At first, it was hard and she had a lot to learn before becoming an ef- ficient bookkeeper and secretary. She, too, has learned that in order to exit through the door of success instead of the backziley offailure, one must nPushn hard on the door of knowledge. ' Mr. C knew long before he left high school that he wanted to go to college and become a lawyer. Knoww ing from the start that to be a success in the world, it is es- sential that one be able to work for it, he worked hard all through high school to save money enough to pay part of his expenses, and, by working summers, and with what his father could give him to help, he completed the necessary training an now is a prospering young lawyer. As a result, all the doors thatle now enters are labeled WNolcome' and the doors through which he leaves are labeled nThank you, call again.H Through his conscientious- ness, courage, and ambition, he has made for himself a place in the house of good living. lmst of us of the Senior class realize now that knowledge isgained only threhgh hard work, honest ef- fort, and sincere desire to learn, With this knowledge, we are going to prove to the world that we cannot only nPush' but push hard on the door of knowledge,
