We hope that we shall prove worthy of your efforts, and that you may derive some satisfaction from our achievements in the years to come. As we leave our high school days behind us and go forth either to higher educa¬ tion or a career, there is one requirement for success, in the business and social aspects in our daily lives that stands out above all others and that requirement is Character.

J J J J J J J J J J I i J J J 1 1 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 First, there are many things that play an important part in our lives, such as intelligence, education, personality, and ambition. Not one of these traits, or a com¬ bination of all of them, is of much value without foundation of a good character. An employer may find us brilliant, willing and learned, but without stability and strength of character we are undesirable prospects for employment. He must have someone of stable character whom he can depend upon at all times, and of strong character who will have the moral firmness to resist temptations in his work, and the courage to carry on to the best of his ability. Now let us take the social side of our lives—education, culture, appearance, and even money are very desirable assets to our social success, but again character is the fundamental trait. If we are sincere and loyal to our family and friends, and have the courage to stand by them even when they are faced with danger or failure, then the love, trust, and loyalty we give them will be returned and m ake for us a full and happy life. To me this is a successful life, for true success reaps the satisfaction and contentment that comes with the knowledge that a person has done his best. Therefore, to obtain success in the fullest sense of the word throughout our lives, no matter what other qualifications we may possess, remember that character is what we need most! Personality, education, ambition, and brains will attract both social and business acquaintances for a time, but there must be something beneath all this to hold them. Lack of character is something that cannot be concealed very long, for as Abraham Lincoln once said, You can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time: but you can ' t fool all the people all of the time . Rita Cousineaij ' 52 OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY All Roads Lead To Rome”. The question that is in the mind of each member of this graduating class is Which road are we best suited for? The answer to this question lies within ourselves. Whatever our undertaking in life may be, we must have ambition and guidance to be a success, and with the many opportunities around us in 1952, there is very little excuse for failure. Over and over again, we have heard adults remark that things were different when they were children. Children didn ' t get into trouble as they do today. That has been the cry for ages, and in all probability, the present-day child will say the same in the years to come. The only difference between today and yesterday is the fact that through modern means of communication, the cases have been brought into the open. As we consider these questions of our day, we come to the conclusion that there are three institutions that should be concerned with ycuth. They are the home, the church, and the school. CNI Page
