Geoige L. White Principal PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Those of us who work with young people are often concerned about those who waste time or fail to take ad- vantage of the manifold opportunities of the modem world. This is often true at school where we observe students with ability who seem content to squeak by with barely passing grades. The ability to use time most advantageously is a real art. It has been said that we should learn to spend time as we do money. Each day we have twenty four hours to spend and we should strive to invest, or spend, these hours in such ways that will give us the greatest return. Time once spent, of course, is gone forever and gone with the misspent hour is the overlooked opportunity to have accomplished something worthwhile or to have said a kind or encouraging word to someone else. Few of us could not profit from a thoughtful consideration of the poem listed below. Perhaps you are one who could. Take the lesson to yourselves, loving hearts and true; Golden years are fleeting by, youth is fleeting too. Try to make the most of life, lose no honest way; Time will never bring again chances passed away. Leave no tender word unsaid, love while life shall last-- The mill will never grind with the water that has passed. Oh ! The wasted hours of life that have drifted by-- Oh ! The good we might have done, lost without a sigh, Love that we might once have saved, with but a single word, Thoughts conceived, but never penned, perishing unheard. Take this lesson to your heart, take, oh ! hold it fast-- The mill will never grind with the water that has passed. (Doudney) 11
