Mr. Snider then presented the members with certificates of membership. Those students to be the first to receive this honor from South Side were Robert Hickey, Dorothy Rinehart, Grace Coudret, Mary Jane Newby, Howard Craig, Gertrude Fawley, Lucille Lindeman, Sam Flem- ing, Rosanna Haven, and Dalma Anderson. All these students are well known South Siders and are indeed worthy of the honor bestowed upon them. On May 17, 1929, the torch was passed to thirteen new members who were in the June class. These stu- dents were Edward Grote, Pauline Thompson, Charles Gruenert, Marjorie Wolever, Betty Ward, Thelma Lare, Katherine Pepper, Clarence Bosselman, Wilma Swind- ler, Mary Graham, Doris Davenport, Ruth Buist, and Eleanore Rupnow. These students are honor students and are active in school affairs. They are also in the upper third of the graduating class. At this meeting Mr. Makey ex- plained the purpose of the meet- ing and introduced the speaker for . xi I 5,3500 og H- 4203 firml- the occasion, Professor J. Ray- mond Schutz, of North Manchester College, North Man- chester, Indiana. Professor Schutz was at first unde- termined whether to speak to the honor students or the others who were in the audience. He finally decided to spak to everyone and gave a splendid address on The Four Dimensions of Life. These dimensions, he said, are height, or achievements, length, or durance of age, depth, or foundations of one's life, and breadth, or the extent of one's learning. Professor Schutz's talk was made very interesting with many clever illustrations, the most appealing of which was his story of a Hindu boy attending a Y. M. C. A. convention. During the course of the convention Professor Schutz said, We decided to do something different from any- thing that had ever been done before, so we called an assembly at which each young man was to tell what his ambitions and hopes for the future were. The tes- timony of a young Hindu gentleman is probably the only one I remember, and am able to repeat. His words were, 'I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. But, by the grace of God, I am better than what I was, and I would like to be more like Jesus Christi These words are indeed worthy of a great deal of thought and should serve as a valuable suggestion for those who wish to live a life of service and struggle well won through. A student who conscientiously lives up to a creed of this kind cannot fail. Page I 7
