industrious application to the end that I may merit a
reputation for quality of service.

the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair
advantage taken or because of unquestionable acts on my
part.

necessary to tear down amother's; to be loyal to my clients
or customers and true to myself.

position or action towards my fellow men, to resolve such
doubts against myself.

nation, my state and my community, and to give them my
