HIGH SCHOOL LIFETHE SENIOR CLASS

I t is very often hard to determinewhat is be,st to do, and the beSitthing to do is very o.ften the hardestthing to .a.ccomplish. Many peoplesi t idle beca.use they flinch .at sacrifi ce and effort. What would be accompiished in th.is worid if we all assumed the s1me attitude? Some onemust s.houlder the responsibility,why not you ? Some one must puttheii shoulder to th.e whee l and pusht.h;ngs along.

There a,re 1ome students in thehigh sch.ool who have .se en that th eo n ~ y way to accomplish anything isto go ahead and do it , and not waHfor the other .fellow. Wlhat! you can'tguess we.)?
