jSusebufo Spbiratimt E the class of ’27 of the Water- X X loo High School dedicate this volume to our beloved parents. It was their love words of encourage- ment and sacrifice that have carried us far on the path of life. Our sin- cere effort is that all of us may be able to clarify this debt that can never be repaid in material things. THE ROSEBUD STAFF 1927

Susplntii A MESSAGE HE greatest prerogative that a person possesses is his privilege to work. Few words have such individual, and yet such varied mean- ing as the word “work,” and no form of action has such a diversity of conception due to the many viewpoints of work. Ask a child its viewpoint of work and it will answer, “Anything I am made to do is work, and any- thing I want to do is play”, which answer shows that the child has a cer- tain conception of work and also that work has been presented to its mind as a kind of drudgery. Too many people of today consider work as drudgery. Drudgery is work which we make difficult; which is done because we must do it, and which we regard with aversion: it is the hard, sordid form of work, done without hope and apart from the joy of accomplishment. Such work is never well done, has no real purpose, no lasting result, and worst of all it shrivels the soul of the worker so that his work becomes more and more irksome. Work should be a real pleasure; a joy; it should be the motive of our lives; and it would be if we regarded it as a labor of love. “Thou shalt earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow”, has been looked upon too much as a curse when it should be considered as a blessing, a blessing to know that man has been created with a power of accomplishing something within himself, such a power given to nothing other of creation. But we have come to think of labor with a!most a sense of pain. Most of us resolve our work into labor, and while it results in accomplishment, it becomes unpleasant and strenuous in the method of its execution. I)o you recall that when the political enemies of that great Athenian. Epaminondas, had him appointed city scavenger of Athens he remarked “It is not Epaminonads that will sink to the level of city scavenger, but the office of city scavenger will be elevated to the rank of Epaminondas.” And why? Because the great man had learned to love his work. Why the great works of art? Why the great sculptures? Why the great mas- terpieces of architecture? Was it not because some one loved his work and had hopes of success? Young man, young woman of the class of ’27: you say: “You came, you saw, you conquered.” Yes, you came, you saw, but you will not conquer unless you learn to love your work. The secret of the true love of work is the hope of success in that work: not for the money reward, not for the time spent, not for the skill exercised; but for the successful result in the accomplishment of the work itself.
