Work Well Done (D4 UR Annual is a summary in word and picture of the school year that has just drawn to a close. For most of us, the year ' s memories are pleasant, but for some, un- pleasant; for most, successful, but for some, un- successful. For most of us, the pleasant or un- pleasant, successful or unsuccessful tone of the year is a matter of our own making. Some there are for whom high school work is so difficult as to be beyond achievement, but for most students, mastery of subject matter is simply a question of sincerity of purpose, and of diligence. Undoubtedly, herein lies one of the greatest opportunities of high school life. The student is early and frankly brought face to face with the fact that only he can really do his own task, and that to do that task properly and make its accomp- lishment a part of himself, he must do it thorough- ly. He learns that the satisfactiim that accompan- ies success can be his only if he determines to make it his. Let us hope that our Seniors, who are leaving us now, look back upon four years successfully spent in our company, and that they look forward to a life of happiness built upon the foundation that they have thus far laid down. And may the rest of us determine that when we return to school next September, we will put our best efforts into our lessons, and find the Joy in Success that is cer- tain to be ours if we but seek it on the road marked Work Well Done.
