 3f d Were a Senior If this year were my graduation year, I believe I would try to be thank- ful that parents, friends, or guardians had given me four years of leisure time to develop my mind, to study, to make friends and to acquire some good habits. I hope I would feel sorry and change my way, if I had not done the aforementioned things. With graduation approaching, I should be deciding some very vital ques- tions. The world expects a lot of all people. Many people fail. No matter what work I chose to do or had to do, I would determine to do that work well. Humble work well done is better than failure in official jobs. The efficient workman will be promoted; that is inevitable. The careless worker wins neither praise nor advancement. Nearly two thousand years ago, St. Paul said, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. How true those words are today! Not only would I strive to be efficient, but I would also try to be en- thusiastic about my work. Enthusiasm is catching. The man or woman who possesses it moves on and up. And after all, why shouldn’t one be a pusher? “Life is real, life is earnest, says the poet. People without enthusiasm for work become unemployables and “leaners instead of pushers. We have millions of them today. I would not want to make one extra. 1 should resolve not to be bitterly discouraged by a period of unemploy- ment in my chosen work. Many times this is just a time to determine how strong is your enthusiasm for a chosen work. This period usually weeds out the “luke warm workers. Eventually the persistent, enthusiastic soul will win. Don’t refuse to work if you are unable to enter your chosen field. The world is full of work for willing hands. Do some volunteer work for a while. Real dirt on a man’s hands is not a disgrace if it is a result of honest toil. It is a great credit to anyone if he is not too proud to lift his hand to aid his fellow men. Too many folks confuse means with ends. I think if I were a Senior I would not assume that to own a sport roadster was the height of achieve- ment, or the ultimate end. Cars can be excellent means to keeping work, acquiring knowledge through travel, but as just an end in themselves they are rather an empty thing. A Senior should keep as his goal the idea of greater usefulness and service. He should endeavor to be a giver as well as a receiver. Finally, if I were a Senior, I would determine to continue my religious education and my church connections. Whether at home, at school or at work, one should not fail the church. People with religion acquire ideas and satisfaction from their living. They also have a way of being rather pros- perous in worldly goods. Their contribution to civilization cannot be meas- ured in dollars and cents; it is priceless. If I were a Senior I would want to be on the side that practices the golden rule.—A Teacher. Page 11
