The line be- tween failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. A little more persistence, and a little more effort 3 and what seemed to be a hopeless failure may turn into glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat ex- cept from within, no really impossible barrier except our own weakness of purpose. Your loyalty to your school, your spirit of cooperation, your sincerity in your work, your respect and consideration of your fellows express your phil- osophy of life, whether you be genius or otherwise. It is my keen desire that all our efforts may contribute to a better and more satisfying living for all. Each of us shall cherish this, the first Rebelaire, as long as we live. From time to time we shall thumb the pages, reminiscing over events we hold dear. S incerely, P. B. MANGUM. Page 8
