THE TRUMPET 31 THE LONG ROAD Our school life may be likened to a long road. It may be a winding road with many little ones leading from it, or it may be a straight one. When we first begin our school work, it is difficult to look far ahead. The road appears to be far off and very hazy. For a time, the road may be smooth and pleasant, prob- ably leading through a woods where iiowers are growing all along the way. Let us call this the pleasant part of our school life. But it does not all lead through the woods. We are led from the cool and shady forest up a hill. We find the climbing difficult. Let us make up our minds at once to climb straight to the top, for seldom is there a path leading around the hill. At times we are tempted to go off unto the little roads. Perhaps we neglect our studies for a time, thinking we can make them up. How hard it is to get back on the main road! It is like losing a step and going back to find it. How fortunate are those who are able to see the goal in the distance, follow it, and finally reach it! They are happy they have climbed the hills and followed the long road. D. M. J., '20. CONDOLENCES Whereas it has pleased God in His infinite mercy to call to His heavenly home the mother of one of our fellow-students, Harold Anderson. Be it resolved that we the students of Scandinavia Acad- emy express to him and the rest of the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of bereavement. May God graciously comfort and console them. Be it resolved that a copy of these be printed in The Trumpet. Committee. Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father in His in- finite wisdom to take from our midst the mother of our stu- dent, Harold Anderson, and Whereas we know that all things work for good to them that love God, and to those who are called according to His purpose,

30 THE TRUMPET be in a little measure rewarded by knowing that your sacrifices so far, have not been in vain. Fellow Students: During our sojourn here we have be- come as brothers and sisters of one large family. You have shared our joys as well as our disappointments. Yet why should our parting be sad? Just as all members of a family look forward to family reunions, so we will look forward to many happy Commencement reunions together. Classmates: Our schooldays at Scandinavia Academy are ended, and we are about to choose our various pathways in life. How far apart these paths may lead us we know not, but true to our motto, Grin and Grind , we will never falter in spirit or in works and we bravely bid farewell trusting that He who from zone to zone guides through the boundless sky, even the sparrow 's certain iiight, in the long ways that we must tread alone, will lead our steps aright. F I3-'?'ll El ll ' Bl W EDITORIAL EL... I 5 ll: gl' ' ll IJ Grin and grind! Why did we choose this as our class motto? How can we busy seniors live up to it? It does seem difficult at times-when we are overcrowded with work, but why not grin and make our work easier? We all have heard the stanza, Work when you work, boys, Play when you playg That is the way To be happy and gay. Does this mean that when we work we should busy our- selves in our books, put our grin aside and assume a study- grouch'? Indeed not! Grins help make our work easier and why make our work harder than necessary? Besides making our own work easier, we can make others' work easy. How much more inspiring it is to work with a cheerful, happy per- son than with a downcast, grouchy one! Again, we all know that unless a person is busy he be- comes restless and unhappy. So let us remember to grin and grind -not only because it is our motto but because by doing so it will be a direct bene- 'lit to ourselves and others. T D. M. D., ,20.
