THE WIDE AWAKE Page Three EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief.........Jeanette Stone, '29 News Editor.............Inez Richmond, ’29 Alumni Editor...............Doris Eyre, ’30 Athletic Editors— Shirley Dolan, ’31, Delmer Knox, '30 Exchange Editor.........Elizabeth Allen, ’29 Business Managers— Joseph Cassidy, ’30, Horace Eriksson, ’29 Art Editors— May Swanson, ’32, Clifford Johnson, ’30 Other contributors to this issue are: Henry Partridge, ’29 Mabelle Lynn, ’30 Nellie Plungis, ’29 Henry Hallette COMMENCEMENT Commencement! What visions the word brings to our minds—visions of past commencements which we have witnessed—visions of the one which will end our personal contact with the school which has been our shelter and guide during the somew'hat painful process of improving our minds, and storing them with what we hope will prove useful knowledge in the days to come. Commencement is a magic word, for we trust that it means not an ending but a beginning of bigger and better things. When Commencement Day draws near we wonder how many think to offer a word of praise and gratitude to the long suffering faculty? The guests press forward to congrau-late the graduates but they seldom give a thought to the teachers who have so guided and instructed these young people that Commencement day has been made possible for them. Commencement day is the Harvest day for the conscientious teachers who look upon the results of their untiring labor. Let us not forget that the balance of the praise is due our faculty. —Jeanette Stone. This year a new experiment has been tried, that of publishing the Wide Awake three times,—at Christmas, at Easter and at Commencement. The editorial staff is pleased with the favorable comments which have been received from the readers of the paper and wish to express their gratitude to atll who have made the Wide Awake possible—the faculty, contributors, advertisers and patronizers. —Jeanette Stone. EDITORIAL THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IS HARD WORK AND CONCENTRATION Graduation Day! Happy day, bringing friends, flowers and above all the knowledge that four years work has been successfully completed. But after graduation what? College or a job? Which ever you choose, you should make of it a success. How often do we hear some one say, “I wish I were as successful as that man, or heard them jump at an advertisement of this type, “Learn this trade. Sure success in six months ' What is success and how is it obtained? Success is a prosperous or advantageous result, and is obtained by hard work and concentration, Concentration is the ability to stick to one task until it is completed. Hard work does not necessarly mean manual labor, nor does it mean memorizing some one else’s ideas and using them to one's advantage. It means the ability to create original ideas and build them up so that they really accomplish something. If we consider some of the notable people today people who play a big part in world affairs, we find that each is different physically and mentally, yet all may attribute their success to hard work and coscentration. If in the midst of the Belgian food relief Hoover had said: “This is too much work,” he might not have become the President of the United States for if he had not had determination to conquer one task he would not have had faith enough in himself to carry on the great projects which he has accomplished. It was concentration that kept Lindbergh’s head clear during his historic flight. If during his tiresome and unsuccessful experiments Edison had given up; think what marvels of electricity would have been denied us. Helen Keller, born deaf, dumb and blind has overcome these handicaps and inspired hundreds of people who are deformed or handicapped in some way. She accomplished this by persistant courage and concentration. We cannot all be great 'tis true, but it is our duty to our friends, parents and country as well as to ourselves, to make a success of our lives. Whether our lives will be a success or not depends upon our own willingness to do hard work and concentrate our minds and hearts upon our task until we accomplish it. —Mabel Lynn. One ship drives East And one drives West By the self-same wind that blows. 'Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That determines the Way it goes. As the winds of the sea Are the winds of fate Are the winds of fate As we journey along through life. 'Tis the set of the soul That determines the goal, And not the calm or strife.
