FROM THE PRESlDENT'S DESK -..-.- He is with us After o student has flipped his tassel from one side to the other on his academic cap, he is supposed to be ready for life as a mature person. He will be led to believe one of two philosophies: the one in which the world is pictured as having waited for him these many, many years to try his wings and fly to the top or the other in which the world is pictured cold and heartless with a chip on its shoulder. The true answer lies in that it is both and it is neither. Another deeper factor must gain entrance into the picture. Of more significance is whether we have the reality inside of us to enable us to live victorious lives. For the Christian the most important question is not in the condition of the world or in the harshness of life in general, but whether he has found the Friendship without which the bottom in life drops out. Charles Kings- ley gave as the secret of his life his brief reason I had a friend. Your situation will change remarkably, though subtly, in transition from high school to the maturer years. Even the world itself will undergo unusual transformations in a short span of time. Old friends will fade out of your circle, new ones will move in. But the Christ who said to His dis- ciples on one occasion, I have called you friends , will never change. He will show you various sides of His greatness but He will always be the same true friend. We put you in His company. Godspeed on your journey up the trail of time! Arthur W. Anderson President
