Page 14 text: “Editorial 50MEWHAT inexplicable but nevertheless true, is the fact that the human mind associates power, fame, and achievement with height. So in their journey through time and space people arc wont to conceive of life as a long climb, particularly if the individual has set for himself a goal which he is determined to reach. We see and hear this theme all about us. For example, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State building, the familiar quotation, Hitch your wagon to a star.” Each rut and stone that is stepped over, each pitfall that is crossed, is a successful achievement, a step nearer the desired goal. And such a conception or philosophy is a useful one and carries interesting im- plications. Applying it to ourselves we may regard graduation from grammar school and high school as hostelries in our climb up the Alps of Life. As we rest temporarily from our labors, we get a broader view of the valley below. Facts we could not ap- preciate when we were hundreds of feet below now impress us deeply. Certain rela- tionships we did not sec before, now become clear. Things which appeared entirely unrelated before, now become part of the whole. As Emerson says, All are needed by each one, Nothing is great or good alone.” Many skills, for which we thought we had no use and which were consequently neglected, give us by their absence a painful realization of their usefulness. But the climb is still young. Mistakes and errors may be rectified and subsequently more care will be - . As we ascend, there will be great difficulties—wide crevices and ravines—in this mountain of.Lifc.Amd individually we sljail hardly be able to surmount these difficulties. If we bind ourselves with stout firm lines, and make judicious use of our staffs of cooperative spirit, we shall easily succeed. It is wise to listen to the advice of those who have been over this climb before. So let us be well prepared. Let us take as much with us as can be borne comfortably. Let us take the climb in as firm, constant, and smooth stride as possible. Let us not become too adventurous, or separate from our fellow-climbers and wander into obvious difficulty. W ith this exhortation, with the common sense which is ours, and with experience we shall readily gain, the climb will not be more difficult for us than it has been for those who preceded us. The atmosphere is now clearer and the sun brighter than it has been for several years in the past. Let us, therefore, resolve to make our journey a pleasant one. ♦ Pag© Ten THE TORCH —J ANUARY 1 937 ♦ ”
