Several years ago in many different parts of this country, the members of this class started out on life’s journey. We passed the first big milestone on this journey when we entered school and at- tained some individual responsibility. Small groups gathered together from time to time until tonight as one big group we have reached another milestone. This milestone is desig- nated at the same time by two words—com- pletion and commencement. These two words seem to have opposite meanings; yet, they are closely related. For what is the completion of one task but the commencement of a new one? We use the word commencement to designate the day on which we lay aside forever the school work which we have carried on for so many happy years. Completion might seem a more appropriate word; yet the end of our school work but marks the beginning of the still greater task of earning our own living. For some of us it means the end of carefree, happy school days and the going out to make our own way in the world, wit hout the guidance which we have had during our high school years. For others, it marks an important step before going on with further study in prepara- tion for our chosen careers. These careers will eventually again scatter us in many directions. The good which we derive from our college work, and the success of our careers will depend upon ourselves. We must strive conscientiously toward one goal, and we hope we shall find satisfactory answers to our motto: “Today we launch; whither shall we anchor?” Tonight, on behalf of the class of 1937, I am very glad to welcome the parents, relatives, and friends who have come to see us receive the reward for reaching the goal toward which we have strived together for so many years. “We entered to learn; tonight, we go forth to serve.” Ruth Taylor. HOW TO STUDY VOCATIONS A question that perplexes every young per- son is, “ What shall I be? ” Most young people think that if only they can get into the right vocation, the one vocation into which they were born, they would be assured of a suc- cessful career. This is a wrong opinion. No person is born into any special vocation, but must select one for himself, study it and adapt himself to it, in order to be a success. Too many young people depend upon astrologers, fortune tellers and phrenologists to advise them upon their future careers. These fortune tellers, phrenologists and astrologers cannot give any truthful advice to these young people. No one person or magic sign can answer the question for them. They musts elect their own career in this way: This problem of selecting a career is two- fold: first, to study the occupations and to ascertain their requirements, and, second, to analyze one's self in order to see how well he would fit into a certain vocation. Let us consider the first step on how to study and ascertain the requirements of the different vocations. First, a person must get, by reading and study, a panoramic view of the vocations that exist. He must then list twelve to fifteen of the ones he likes best and think these over carefully. After this has been done, he must narrow his list down to three or four as his preference requires. In taking this step he must ask himself this question: “If I do this, where will I be twenty years from now?” Then, he must make an intensive study of the three or four vocations that still interest him. These vocations must be studied as
