Ambition, Belief, Courage, Are ABC's To Happiness Davidson Says K. Pruden Davidson of Lancas ter, Pa., Monday night gave Mur phy High School graduating sen iors his ABC's for starting on the road to personal success and hap piness. Mr. Davidson, speaker at the annual graduation exercises, said he called the three simple char acter traits ABC's for two reasons. "First, they're very elementary to the beginning of your business development, and secondly, they're very easy to remember that way." The traits are: Ambition ? "the complete lack of self-satisfaction, coupled with the never-ending de sire to do your best , . i "Belief ? (or faith) . . Three strong beliefs are necessary ? first, belief in God; . . . belief In yourself; ... and belief In the American Way of Life." "Courage ? casting aside of fear." Mr. Davidson said that fear has ruined as many potentially good people in business today as any single factor. ? Mr. Davidson urged the gradu ates to attend college. He pointed out that earning possibilities are much greater for the college grad uate, and prospects for most col lege graduates are excellent In. every field. The speaker, a graduate of Mur phy High School in 1935, said In tribute to Superintendent H. BuecK who was also superintendent when Mr. Davidson graduated, that "the finest thing that could happen to the school children of Murphy would be to have Mr. Bueck's guld ance, and his leadership for an other 21 years." .i -- T~
