FRIDAY
CRIMSON AND WHITE
The only way to find out where you
are going is through education.
By
studying in school, by not fooling around and wasting much valuable time,
one can start in his life work almost
immediately Instead of having to hang
around while trying' to decide what to
do.

At the recent press convention in
Sharon Spring's, Professor Bristow Adams
of Cornell University made the following
statement; '^he world stands aside for
the man who knows whither he is going."
There is a lot of truth in that statement and also a lot of good advice.

CONCERNING THIS PAGE
Last week, the editorial page in
the Crimson and Vi/hite carried two editorials concerning education. This weuk^
there are two others, which attack the
subject from a different angle. One of
these two editorials was written by two
of the staff for the Capital District
Scholastic Press association convention
in Sharon Springs last week. The other
is v/ritten from a statement made b^y one
of the speakers at that convention.
We are not quite sure why we have
run this series of editorials in the
last two weeks unless it is because we
have just re.-^lized that there are just
thirty-four school days
loft before
graduation, not count iii^; today. That
moaas there are just twenty-nine do.ys to
the beginning of Regents* week.
Thus, you see that there is very
little time left in school and every
little thing has a greater value than it
may seem to have at first glance.
THOUOiT p-DR THE WEEK
Do wey. in your studies., for there
are only thirty more days until Regents'
weeko
More and more young people are going places in this world today because
they know where they are going. Politicians, lawyers, business men, doctors,
and many other types of professions and
businesses have young blood in them.
And do you think that those young successful men v/asted their time while in
school? Not at alll They studied, they
worked hard, thoy began when they were
youfig to piepare themselves for what
they are now doing. In order to succeed
in the world today, it is necessary to
start young.
Jobs are
comparatively
scarce in proportion to the number of
applicants. The best prepaied will succced and the others will be out of luck.
Therefore, if you have any idea of
success, please don't loaf through your
high school years. While four years may
seem like a long time, when you look
back upon them, thoy are very short.
So, start working- now toward a goal in
life and attain that goal. Then set a
new goal, one which will require more
striving until at last you reach the
top. Homeraber—if you don't know where
you are goiiig or what you are going to
do by the time you graduate your chances
are very slim of ever.getting anywhere.
A WILL TO SUCCEED
Written for C. D. S. P. A.
By Virginia Tripp and John Winne
Examples of people who have become
great tend to show that succoss more
often depends upon taking advantage, of
opportunities than upon good luck. People who haire the will to succeed are
usually successful.
Today, at a special assembly called
by Superintendent J. J. Jones,
the
speaker was an example of one who succeeded because of continuous effort.
Henry Jo Smith, an alumnus of Maryville
High School, spoke on '".Vhy An Education?"
St:,ting that ho never dreamed thc.t a
specif-.' assembly would bo called in his
honor, ho continued: "Tc^ke advantag'e of
your high school vvorkr It is your foundatiociy no matter what the superstructure iTiay turn out to be. Build a good
found, .tion
you never need worry
abou b tho houso fr.ll'ng' do-vn.o "
