We want to recognize youth for their participation and talents in arts, athletics, academics, and for contributions to their community. Yourself - T o be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. T o talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. T o make all your friends feel that there is something in them. T o look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
T o think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
T o be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. T o forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. T o wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. T o give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. T o be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
