It*s Easy to Drift—But Look Outll
STUDENTS
Thars are tliroo t "pos of students
in every school. The first typo is
the go-piottor• Ho is alwr.ys busy
doing somothing for himsolf or
other s. Ho is tho one who v/orkd hard
and n;ots tho honor. Ke is also
inter' sted in all school activities.
How wonderfu.l our school v/ould be
if we were all of this type.
The second groupis made up of
those students v-^ho intend to do
g^oat things some day, A member of
this ^roup is the drca or. ’•’'O.ien
ho sees o the r s w i nni ng ho nor s, it
inspires him and he deter'ninee. to
do something equally good, but
somiho’''fh3 never seoms to got a-
round to it. Once in a v;hile he
does tv; somothing,but he gives
so little real effort to it th;t
ho can do nothing bi.it fail. If ho
does win some honor, he is satis-
fiedand does not try again. Too
man^T" of us belong to this group.
The third type is the laggard.
Ho does not even care to do anything
orvrin any honor. Ho does not boost
his school but finds fault with
every thing in his v/holo life. He
never works because somebody else

'rrill do it if he doesn’t. Tho lag
gard is seldom if ever missed
when he is gone.
The go-getter decides v/hat he
v/ants and goes after it. He boosts
all V'/orthy thinrs. The dreamer is
not sure what he wants, or, if he
is, he hasn’t ambition enough to
go after it. The laggard’s only
d:sire is to bo nobody and to bo
lot alone, and he usually is. Are
you a dreamer, A laggard, or a
go-getter?
