ID ID.. ll-I AXllQlf S MKIESSAVIE IE Miz DEAR GIRLS 1 You have given me a stimulating theme in y-our title. I like to think of horizons,-those alluringly distant points at which heaven seems to bend over and touch the earth. No wonder the ancients dreamed of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Your skies have not been wholly rainbow-tinted, however. These last two years of your high school life have been full of difficulty and distress in the world outside. Some of those prob- lems and sorrows have undoubtedly touched you intimately. It is fortunate that you have had the security and joyousness of your school days to keep you from thinking too much about the disasters your parents and friends have had to meet. a These days should have done more, however, than protect you from life. If you have been sensitive to the meaning of the present crisis you will have gathered strength to meet it as a challenge, and not as an altogether crushing blow. You will have learned to see new fields of human endeavor, new channels for economic growth. You will have gained faith to believe that the path your must tread willhave always over it the arc of promise. You will have resolved to be one of those courageous souls who dare to go forward toward horizons which are reached only to open on still distant. but ever lovelier vistas of human possibilities. A I dare to believe that you have learned to go forward with serenity and with courage in spite of difficulties. 1 Faithfully yours, ' OLIVE ELY HART. Page Seven D L .J
