HONOR STUDENTS ...N MATILDA DOMOGALA FRANK GROHOSKY MILDRED HAWRVLAK THE CHARTERED ROAD TO SUCCESS In order to obtain desired success, it is im- portant to set a reasonable goal. The man without purpose is like a ship without a rudder-a wztif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.', -Cafryle When a child enters school at the age of six, he does not concentrate much on the future. Thus he can not be judged entirely by his early success because of the fact that he had little knowledge of what he should accomplish to be of value to his school, community, or any or- ganization. The first eight years of his school- ing are considered elementary because they are the foundation for a more complete education. Consequently, when he enters high school, he has a more vivid picture of what will con- front him. This is the most appropriate time to set for himself a goal which should not be too simple or too difficult to reach. To know himself is the first step to a wise decision. His weak points should be considered more serious- ly than any dominating strong points which he possesses, for success depends largely on how well the weak points are developed. These are the foundations upon which he must build for the future. With his goal clearly in mind he should exert every effort to achieve it by building strongly upon the ground work which he has laid. Nor should he form the erroneous opinion that what he is not compelled to do he should just forget about. If Lincoln had accepted this common fiend, would he have been as worthy of praise as he is? Everything the child does for himself will help him in some way. The system of free public educa- tion is only one means of preparing for the future. If Christ's teaching Give Thyself is used wisely, education will be increased greatly by delving into books and association with different types of people. Taking part in extra-curricular activities provide experi- ence, which is the best teacher. There are moments when seriousness is preferred and times when laughter should prevail. He must be careful never to reverse them for many men have failed because of this. As in learning a trade, he first must study the good and poor qualities and set his goal accordingly. This indeed will bring satisfactory achievements in any phase of life, for all who have already reached reasonably set goals are listed among the successful. -Matilda Domogala, 46
