To opportunity we are eternally indebted, each time it presents itself, if we don‘t seize it, and' make the most of it, then we are the losers. “Opportunity”, some fine wrote, “only knocks once”. If that be true, then in this instance it is an elong- ated knock, lasting right through our entire school days. The governments of our country, the various educational authorities, and our teachers make this oppor~ tunity of learning available to us. Those bodies are untiring in their efforts to make our system of edu- cation as near perfect as possible. What a wonderful gift is this, and how lightly we accept it. We just take school for granted. In fact very‘often we are sorry for our- selvesâ€"â€"we feel rebellious inside of us, and in short, think that this whole business of learning is just a “hum-bug”. How wrong we are. Many times I have heard grown-ups say, “My school days were the happ'est of my life, but I didn't know it." That is just the trouble with us, we don't know it. We don’t realise what a great thingâ€"what a vital thing, is this opportunity of learning which is being presented to us. We should be willing, eager, anxious, hungry, even greedy for knowledgeâ€"know- ledge which is as free, as invigor- ating and sustaining as the air we breathe. There will always be “a good”, “a better" and “a bes” among us. While one may attain success with very little effort, another may ex- pend much earnest effort only to be rewarded with a small measure of success, or even failure in the sense of attainment. True it may be that “nothing suc- ceeds like success", but if I were asked to revise that I would say that “nothing succeeds like effort.” Eflbrt, in my estimation, rates higher than attainment. In bring- ing up this word it may appear that I am straying from my original subâ€" ject, but after all, opportunity minus effort would be worthless, whereas opportunity plus effort equals suc? cess. We all desire success, but all too frequently a Wish bone is where our back bone ought to be. We are, most of us, richâ€"rich in the possession of a healthy mind in a healthy body, and equipped with those there is no limit to what we can accomplish. a There will come a day when the] school-room door will c105e behind} us for the last time, then will oppor- l tunity cease to knock. We will find ourselves faced with the problem of earning a living. I If each one of us does his and her very best, then we have indeed gained a victory. The one who listens to the “st-ll small voice,” which says “don’t try” is the vanâ€" quished. But let us beware, “proâ€" crastination is the th’ef of time." From it springs integrity, capa- bility, personality, and all the fea- tures which combine to carry us through life happily and success- fully. I don’t refer to the so called success of accumulating material possessions, to which I don’t think any person is entitled beyond, their requirements, so long as their fel- lowmen are in need. To what extent we have applied and availed ourselves of our‘oppor- tunities will then be Weighed in the balance. Whatever our future, it will be the direct consequence of the opportunities which are knocking‘ at our door right now. Effort is a great creator, a won- derful transformer. It makes the most of everything, brings out the best in us. Its application to our personal appearance can work won- ders, as it will also in the routine of our daily life, and in our con- sideration of other peOple. “What is worth doing is worth doing well." That is a grand motto. So girl's and boys, let us, Canada’s richest resource, the women and men of tomorrow, resolve to Open the door wide, and; by our efforts be a credit to our Parents, our Teachers, and our Home Town. Let us be the Victor's, not the vanquished. For this opportunity I thank you, Tom MacLeOd.
