DAVE PANICH.
Supt. NJ o. Alcorn of Wynne, adj
dressed the students in convocation
Wednesday. He made the assertion
that the most important years of
ones life are those spent in the high
school. The high school work is the
preparatory period. Opportunity is
greater now than it will be later; it
diminishes as the days go by. A
pupil who quits school in the 9Th
grade has very small chance of
making a success in life, while boy
who finishes high school has 100
! times better chances than the one
who quit in the eighth grade. Mr..
Alcorn said to finish school was worth
! the time and work put on it, if moth
ing more than to meet different stu
dents, who later develop into life
long friends. He cautioned us to re-
member the world listens to- the man
who knows.
