rear admiral of the U. S. navy from
the naval training station at Great
Lakes, Illinois, announcing the fact
that Louis had been thus honored and
that he was making such a credit
able start in the navy.
Louis selection as honor man was
based on the degree to which he as
simulated the IL weeks course of in
struction; his aptitude for the serv-
ice; and his ability to apply himself
to military life in general. Pollock
was also an apprentice petty officer

THAT'S SUCCESS

It's doing your job the best you can,
And being just to your fellowman;
It's figuring how, and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking
high,
Dreaming little, and doing much;
It's keeping in always closest touch
With what is finest in word and deed;
It's being clean and playing fair;
It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair,
Sharing sorrows, and work, and mirth,
And making better this good old
earth:
It's striving and serving through
strain and stress;
It's doing your noblest-that's sue
cess!
