YELLOWSTONE (PARKING AT REAR) College that "self discipline" Is a major factor In determining success or failure. Commencement speaker Brewer said at the beginning of his talk that discipline makes the difference In society between order and chaos.

He then brought the subject to individual' discipline and said the effect of society cannot push any individual to success. Self discipline, he said is the major factor for success in any field, but this is the "most difficult of all tasks that any person faces. He compared the task to dieting, explaining that the appetite says one thing while the adversion to obesity says another. "Self discipline," Brewer said, "has been a great factor In the success In the lives of great men of history and today." He. pointed out successful careers are made at their start and seldom In the middle or near the end.

He urged the graduates to remember this point and concentrate on a goal. Brewer's word of advise was for the graduates to set about "self disciplining yourself." He said that while discipline is not enough is is a key factor. Invocation and benediction at the ceremony was delivered by Rev. Heinz H. Grabia.
