18 THE ATHENAEUM set plan for working and centralizing, there would be more efficient leaders. In order to be successful in all undertakings, the true factors of success should be closely observed. These are ideas plus work minus fear. In choosing a vocation one should secure one into which he might go with the ambition to make the best of it. By taking a retrospective view of the work that has been done by our most competent leaders of today, we can readily see that they were students who had a vision. The summary of the career of an ideal student is de scribed most beautifully in this little poem: When a task you’re set to do, Stick to it until you’re through. Guard your thoughts, your hands, your feet, Till you end your work complete. The student who has no vision has no hopes for life’s work, because he has not tenacious ambition that will instil Within him the real good of service or of self help. The preparation for the game of life m(ay be con^pared to a game of football, baseball or the like. On the gridiron or the diamond where the game is played it is when the game is hardest that we get our greatest enjoyment. There is nothing to be gained in light contests and there is no glory in a game that is won without a strug- glee. In life it is just the Same way. and to profit by them is really fit for life’s work and has some qualities A student who prepares himself in school to experience these rigors that successful men prossess. As surely as a man with a two-edged ax Can never split a rail, So he with a double purpose Can only hope to fail.” It behooves the students of today to have a vision for tomorrow, to prepare themselves for life’s work now. Then they will be in a position to bear the light to others. %~.~.~xk~xkk~x~x~xk~x~xk~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~X"X~X"> T * f t I I \ r * f Get a-Standard Life Policy and Hold on to it Not Industrial, Not Fraternal Old Line, Legal Reserve A National Organization which shall be the Standard among the leading Companies Policies from $500 fo $10,000 Standard Life Insurance Co. & There is a Standard Life Agent Near You ~ -> •!* ’ATTENTION!
