Youth Meets Truth 3107 Forty-Seventh Avenue South Minneapolis 6, Minnesota OHice of the President SPRING 1949 Members of the Class of '49: In the selection of your motif for the Antler you have also ohosen wisely a motivation for your future life. Years ago a strong, yet poetic, lad of the Judean countryside gave expression to a truth that has since been heard round the world . This fact was stated in the language of his experience, and though the terminology differs from that of our urban moderns with their scientific jargon, yet the reality that it expresses remains unchanged. It might appear at first sight that up-to-date high school graduates of the mechanised twentieth century would be entirely unaware of the heart throb of an Old Testament shepherd boy. 3ut that is not the case. And the reason is not far to seek. Whatever century one's lot is cast in, and whatever cultural and vocational setting life may have, still the basic human traits are similar and the needs perennial. It is the voice of these underlying characteristics that speaks throughout all of history. The Lord is ray shepherd is life's crowning endowment. No one can ever advance beyond that reality, and to come short of it is to shrivel life. By this personal and vital relationship with God the believer finds his soul restored, his courage adequate to the valley of gloom, his cup of joy running over, his days surrounded with goodness and mercy, and at length his eternal abode in the house of the Lord. What more can anyone want? My dear young friends, as you leave the campus of Minnehaha Academy it is a rich assurance to those of us who remain in its halls to know that you are shepherded in the unseen future by the Good Shepherd. We will follow your path throughout the years, with a sincere prayer for the Master's daily blessings. And should some of us reach the house of many mansions before you arrive, we will be thrilled to bid you welcome into the unlimited discoveries awaiting us in God's own school. From that we should never be graduated: there will be no Alumni. As you strike out from your high school days you carry with you the very best wishes of your teachers and schoolmates. We wish for you lives that are significant in every area of endeavor through unswerving commitment to the Lord. We pray that He may be honored through you always. AN ACCREDITED, FOUR-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL, WITH A CHRISTIAN EMPHASIS
