O ur success in life depends largely upon th e efforts
we p u t forth to g rasp the o p p o rtu n ities w hich come to
us from tim e to tim e. O ften, it is tru e , we do not see
these o p p o rtu n ities, or fail to recognize th e ir value,
and allow them to pass by. T h e d an g er in th is is
th a t seldom do o p p o rtu n ities present them selves the
second tim e if allowed to pass un n o ticed .
T h e present school year is one of splendid o p p o r
tu n ities. W e have a corps of com petent in stru cto rs
and each d ep artm en t equipped for successful work.
T h ere are prom ises of greater th in g s for the rem ainder
of the y ear. M any im provem ents are contem plated
and some begun.
It w ould he well for us as we near th e T h an k sg iv in g
season to co u n t o u r blessings and decide to m ake use
of the o p p o rtu n ities afforded us. If we do this, at
the close of the year we shall be w iser and stro n g er
boys and girls, young men and you n g w om en.
