Aside from its other advantages, the alumni association also has social benehts. Surely there could be no more fitting social gathering than one made up of intimate friends and classmates! ln the preceding paragraphs, fellow classmates, there is ample reason why you should not entirely neglect your school activities after gradua- tion. For your own sake, and for the sake of your school, continue your school life as an active member of the alumni association. -Maurice B. Walsh, '33 High Seas Ahead We have sailed through the Harbor of our Youth and School Days. Soon we shall have passed all landmarks, and shall be adrift on the trying Ocean of Life. Our resistance to the small waves of obstacles on the hrst stage of our Voyage of Life will determine the manner in which we shall overcome the higher ones of the ocean ahead. Some of us have met our problems with our best efforts, others have been less conscientious and have done little more than was necessary-merely enough to get by. ln all proba- bility, we shall do hereafter just as we have done in the past, for the Man is merely the Youth grown up. The more determined type will not expect opportunity to drag him to his goal, but, like a ship, will put up steam, and sail in a steady, pro- gressive course to his goal. lle knows what must be done, and will be more pleased when it is done. Like a sailboat, the more careless, indif- ferent person will wait for the Winds of Opportunity to bulge his sails and set him on his way, Perhaps he will obtain success-more likely he will not. liven if he does, his method is less sure. lle has squandered days of calm while awaiting favorable winds. The heavy, repeated blows of the battering waves have had a telling effect, and, driven from his course, he has wasted even more time. lf he does finally obtain suc- cess, he will have to abandon his happy-go-lucky ways or recognize fail- ure. On our first stage we have encountered periods of calm and periods of storm, but the storms have not been extremely serious. We have been protected by land on either side of us. At times, unable to meet our responsibilities ourselves, we have relied upon our parents or our friends. Very often, they have willingly helped us. In this way, the waves have had little effect on us. Once in the ocean, however, there will be no shores to greet us when the Waves of Responsibility are battering our sides. We more fortunate ones may pass a few islands on our voyage- may have someone upon whose help we may still rely. But most of us will not. We shall have to oppose the obstructing forces unaidedg and, above all, we shall need Courage to stick to the wheel. Daniel Pratola, '33 Page Six
