THE ROCKET “Bite off more than you can chew. —then chew it: Plan for more than you can do. —then do it: Hitch your wagon to a star Take your seat and there you are. Some people get all the breaks. How often has this been said by many? Perhaps this is true to some extent, but I have my doubts as to its truth in the fullest sense of the word. One of the outstanding coaches of the country teaches his players to make the breaks for themselves and then to take advantage of every one. You have received a very fine break in that you have had the opportunity of attending high school. From now on it will be up to you to make the most of your breaks, as there are very few people who are trying to make way for others. Your chances for success in life will depend entirely upon what you do with the little opportunities you meet. With the coming of the next few years you will find much more work to be done. Whether in the field of science, business, government, education, religion, or any other field in which you may be interested, the world is calling for men with vision. Many from our school before you have gone out into the world and have made a place for themselves- Society is calling for advancements in scientific thinking, better living conditions for the masses—both food and shelter,—better working conditions, leaders in religion, a better understanding between labor and capital, sensible judgment on the part of political leaders and men of governmental affairs, and possibly one of the greatest calls is for men to care for the needs of the people when they have nothing in particular to do—the right use of leisure—which undoubtedly will lead to a better control of the crime situation in which we have entered- Opportunities are here. The breaks are with you. Success to you. Principal H. O. Now It is just as bad to be a ten dollar gold piece and pass yourself off as a penny as it is to be a penny and try to pass yourself as a ten dollar gold piece. A. B. Findlay College. 1927.
