EDITORIAL
What gives us greater pleasure than
lmving reached or accomplished some
worthy go;t! which we have set our
energies toward'.' If we ever reach or
attain any degree of success, wenrtust
^et ourselves at some worthwhile
task and then exert all of our
strength both physicat and mental
toward that point. To drift along
with the crowd gets us nowhere ex-
cept witli the crowd. We never get
Ix-vontt our surroundings. To have
a better neighbor we must be a bet-
ter neighbor. Things of value are
costly and expensive in both time and
money. Civilization increases out-
wants'. our wants increase our ex-
penses; our expenses increase our
needs; at! of which greatly in-
creases our necessities for greater
mental power and a more intensive
and accurate education. When
one passed the third or fourth reader
in school. it was easy to be a leader
in education and teaming. Then out*
probiems aftd needs were few. Now
we must work and struggle to even
keep along with the group. We must
now single out some specific goat or
task and bend our energies toward
that beacon if we ever accomplish
anything. Our civilization is no
longer a physical struggle for exist-
ance. but a contest of the mental
powers to overcome the complicated
mental problems of our own creation.
Our future success or failure depends
upon the type of problems which we
set ourselves and the degree of suc-
cess in solving them.

MEET A SENIOR
Oma Morris Cole, son of Mr. and
Mrs. <1. E. Cole, was born January H,
1!)21. in the Grange Hall community
six miles cast of Alto. At the ag" of
six. Oma Morris entered school ; t
Grange Hall and there finished nine
grade'!. La<=tvearhc''amf'<'in;\ The
record he has made in his tenth "id
ftpventh grades speak well for h m.
for he has been an honor student.
When asked what his nlans for
the future are. Oma Morris always
manages to evade the question bv
answering in such a wav that he
makes us forget what wehave asked
him. but we know by that far-away
look in his eyes that he has plans.
"Still water runs deep," so the say-
ing goes. At least his ouiet. reserved
manner upholds the dignity of the
senior class.
We'll be watching you. Oma Mor-
ris. and expecting great things of
you in the future. Good luck!
Miss Banks; "Billy, are you yawn-
ing?"
j Billy: "No, ma'am, that was a
silent Indian war whoop."
The first grade finished a unit on
"The Cerius" last week, which they
enjoyed very much. With the month
of April here, they are looking for-
ward to Easter and the picnic that
they are planning to have on that
occasion.
Mr. Wilcox: "Edith Mae, sit down
in front!"
Edith Mae: "Sorry, teacher, I'm
not made that way."
The second and third grades are
proud of their Nature Corner. They
are learning many things that they
did not know about Mother Nature.
Especially did they enjoy finding
out.ibout the different kinds of nests
al! the little birds build.
Clem: "Hey, there is an insect in
my soup."
Waiter: "That's nothing, it's prob-
ab!y one of those vitamin "bees."

Keep it up. Virginia! We expect
t'< see your poetry alogg with that of i
C.'rl Sandburg. Amy Lowell and
other great poets.
In one of his sonnets that we;
studied in English last week. Milton i
is viewing the way his light or good]
has been spent during half his life in!
this dark and expansive world. He!
is broken hearted because his blind-,
ness now impedes his writing and I
'hat talent is of no use to him now.
Though his desire is strong to con-
tinue his beloved work and put forth
his best in the world, he wonders if
God does expect day-labor from his
hand, since his vision is gone. He
divines the answer of that wonder-
ing to be that his Father is complete
and that His will works too well
Without man's will because all that
man is was given of God. that if man
will atune his will to the omnipotent
will of the Father, there will be har-
mony and power with which to at-
tain all good desire: those who best
{ hear His mild yoke are his children.
If the world has acquitted one's
taients. he should have faith, and
the good desire will be fulfilled in
time. That is true, becausc it is
through disappointment that some-
thing deeper and more golden is
brought out of man. It is very reason-
able that if a man is among his kind
enjoying the friendship andcom-
j panionship of those who love him
and whom he loves and the warmth
of universal friendship exists be-
tween Mm and the world of Ms
fellowmen, his life and character are
diffused with the light of life and
! soul of his true friends. Since they
are his kind, their beings are just
as bright in light reflected from God
as is his. True friends will make us
outdo ourselves, remember us when
we have forgotten or neglected our-
selves. and take loving heed of our
health, out*, work, our aims, our
I plans—there is no true friendship
without self-sacrifice. That is why
there is no singularity in the deeds
, and expressions of anyone enjoying
j such friendship. It would seem to me
j that a boy would be mighty un-
fortunate if he were born in such
harmonious conditions and had to
live in them. There should have to
be something negative to his happi-
ness to work against to develon his
"inner" and make Mm strong
enough to stand bv himself It is r"-
tural that he wouldn't be fit for his
fate without something like that.
It is night that brings out the stars,
even though they are eternally ir.
the sky. Besides when a fellow make^
a mistake or a failure, it stirs him
up to a fighting spirit, and in that
seeming disgrace of the personal shell
of Mm he realizes the simple but
profound strength of the real im-
personal man of him. If his means
are knocked away from him. he has
to draw on his own inner resources.
In Abraham Lincoln's life as a law-
yer. politician, representative, and up
to the time of his death, his personal
part of Mm was belittled by the mis-
takes he made unconsciously. Today
we have honored memories of his
grenter self shining forth into speech
and deeds. He was an humble mnn.
and the hectic failures in his life
found him seated deeply in the prin-
ciple of ]ove. Ancient Demosthenes
and the great Irish orator. Curran
were as whipped puns in the face of
then failures. That threw them hack
on then- inmost; all their dress
characteristics died and left only the
desire for the best in their souls,
winch led them topcrfect them-
selves so that they could hold their
audjences agape with interest nnd
give them a message very vita! to
ihemreh-cs. In fulfilling their high
desire, only the competent ones stand
and succeed against their failures.
while the stern realities and net-son-)]
failures serve to filter out the unfit
men of the world or bring the best
out of those imbued with Imperfec-
tions.
