COLBY D. HALL I-IORIZQNS One year I discovered nandinas. The red berries and the reddish tinted leaves attracted us. We bought and planted one in our yard, and were very proud of it. I was under the impression that ours was the only one on the hill, for I had not observed any before. But in the course of a drive a few days later, behold there were scores of them in other yards. They had been there all the time, but my eyes were not open to them. Thus came a new horizon into my little life. Because of that I always enjoyed seeing nandinas. One little shrub isn't very important. But one horizon is. For a growing life is made up of Administrative I Growing horizons. In my Freshman year, it was the Greek language that came as a thrill to me. Those funny looking letters took on real meaning, and through them I began to get acquainted with the thoughts of an ancient people which greatly influenced this world of mine, Then came physics, and the old earth was a new one to me. Then others. That is the joy of study. More new horizons may be discovered in the four years of college life than any years we have. May be, if we are out looking for horizons. As I see you, the seniors, go out into the work-a-day world, I wish for you two things: constantly expanding hori- zons, and the zest to enjoy them. Moun- tain climbing is a drudge if it's merely your job: it's a thrill if you are watching the horizons expand. Always keep yourself naive enough to enjoy the thrill of learning new things. This is one happiness the blase never know. Moments of thrill are of little value. A lark, a daredevil stunt, a dash of daring sin-one moment and it is gone, leaving perhaps an ache and an extra wrinkle. But new horizons are different. They stay. The world is ever bigger, and life is richer as we add horizons. There are thousands of them: the world is very rich. You can choose some, you must pass by many. But there are two horizons of life without which there cannot be genuinely true living: the joy of service, and a sense of God. Without the first, life turns inward and becomes stagnant, as a rancid pool. Without a consciousness of God in our lives, the sky is so low, our world can only be small and disappointing. May your years ahead be blessed with ever- expanding horizons, and what is more, may you retain the ability to find surprise in every one of them. COLBY D. HALL.
