THE SEA BREEZE 6 of everv student and graduate. Thev should be and are the golden key to success. To co-operate means, according to Noah Webster, to act or operate jointly with others for a common end. To me it means also the manner or attitude in which we accomplish our tasks. Do we do them willingly andijovfully or just because we are obliged to and there is no alter- nat ve. The best place to learn how to co-operate with graciousness is in the schoolroom and this quality is definitely accentuated in all schools. In our sports, in our clubs, and in all of the other numer- ous activities, we have an excellent opportunity to show our willing ness to co operate Sometimes we notice that some people have more friends than others One reason for this is that one has learned the value of co operating with other people's views and ways Ne see some people who have made a success of their life while others have failed pitifully The suc cessful ones owe their success in part to their ability to co operate and not to void some distasteful task by haughtingly passing it along to their fellow worker. I consider that most gradu tes of today are very well equipped in this essentiil course, equipped well enough to march along to success with his fellows or, at least to fight against failure This know ledge can be to them one of the prevailing factors in molding a good character Finally although everything depends upon the individual as to whether he or she will fail or not, for the graduate is his own pilot to success, yet this success will in great part depend upon the foundation of good character developed through fairness, responsibility, and co operation Norman Overlook '59 WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE LOBSTER FISHINP INDUSTRY9 Although m ny people alone the coast now get their living by lob stering, it does not mean that the ocean bottom will always be covered with an abundance of lobsters Every year now we hear about new res idents along our coasts, who have moved from the cities to go lobster ing The industry now is verv overcrowded During the summer months it is most believable that one could walk bout over the bouys of the traps with snowshoes Can dian lobsters are being shipped into Hoping to create a better market for our Maine lobsters, the com missioner at Boothbiy ordered large quantities of binds to be put on all the Maine lobsters but these bands slip onto a Canadi n lobster's claw as easily s they do on a M ine lobst r's claw The fishermen pay large prices for their gear, therefore, they must be paid suitable prices for their catches in order to exist It would be an advisable move to appoint authorities that under stand the industry more thoroughly Many of thc head officials now in office have no more idea about this occup tion than a resident of some inland village Sometimes I wonder if they ever knew what lobster is like These unreasonable laws now being passed are ruining this lm portant industry Mast the fishermen strikeq 0 7 -' ' Q ' A T. . . . - 0 .
