(lewisuAc nce H Christina Wood Beyond the grey horizon Far across the sea. The elves and gnomes and pixies, All sing with mirth and glee. This is the land of fairies Called, “Dear Old Emerald Isle”. Where everyone is happy And greets you with a smile. Back where friends are always friends, Kind and loving and true. And no matter what you’ve done They’ll always see you through. In my dreams I yet return Back to my dear old home. Each time I make a promise, That I never more will roam. a

A fy cu WosuJU tf-tio-tn M . Qle+i Success is relative and in its measurement account should be taken of the use made of opportunities. Consider two students attending a High School. Let their names be John Jones and Bill Brown. John is considered to be slow—both mentally and physically. He finds it difficult to ac¬ complish more than a meagre showing in either sports or studies- Discouragements come to him frequently in the classroom and on the playing field. But John is game”. With courage and dili¬ gence he strives to improve his record. Yet in spite of his efforts he faces the prospect of receiving some C and D gradings on his school work. Bill Brown, on the other hand, is highly gifted. He is doing fairly good work with the expenditure of very little effort- His report card will probably show mostly B gradings. But the point is, that Bill’s record would doubtless be much better, if through the year he had applied himself with as much effort and courage as John has done and. inasmuch as he has failed to do so, Bill has in a sense been the less successful of the two boys. Since we are endowed with different degrees of capability, our responsibility is always that of being able to honestly say, “1 am making good account of my opportunities’’. Then we shall be able to conclude whether or not we have been successful. May next year and those to come be successful years for you. 15
