Success There are few people in the world and prob- ably none in our high schools who are not de- sirous of success and hopeful concerning its attainment. However, success varies in mean- ing and degree in direct proportion to the stand- ards adopted by the ones who seek it. To attain success, lofty goals should be set and every human faculty brought into full play. Someone has said, Nothing succeeds like suc- cess. Small things, well done, provide the sti- muli and ability to accomplish greater things. True greatness lies in service rather than selfishness. One good deed for society is worth more than a hundred that are purely selfish. When an education and the development of skills are coupled with a sense of duty to God, Nation and neighbor, a successful and happy career is in the making. My best wishes for success are hereby ex- tended to the Class of 1951. Climb though the rocks be rugged. R. N. Keim Supervising Principal Believe It or ot Class of 1951 Faith is of great importance whether we be- lieve in it or not. Faith in God, faith in other persons, faith in one's self, faith in the wise ordering of Providence are a safeguard to good cheer, love and optimism. To believe that all is coming out well is of itself a powerful means of making it all come out well. l would not counsel imprudence or foolish shutting of one's eyes to the actual conditions of affairsg but the actual conditions of affairs is in the main, a good condition. Worry is usually unjustified. Things are not so bad as they seem. The world is kind, and God is in it. Optimism can always give a better account of itself than pessimism. Good cheer is to be chosen because it is likely to be based on truth and not falsehood. Motion and emotion are partners. We need them both if we would be efficient men and women. The seed of love, the love of a person, the love of country, the love of God are all planted, in the heart. Only through experience, work, play, sympathy, co- operation, joy and sorrow, hope and fear, pur- pose and prayer, can we hope to attain suc- cess. Wishing the best in life O. B.
