.., , . , . I I . .. Foreword Seniors! The editors of THE ORACLE thank you for your help and co-operation in making the Year Book a success. We have followed the suggestion of the Class of IQ33-that we retain the name, THE ORACLE, for our Year Book. lt is our hope that future classes will emulate us and aid in establishing THE ORACLE as the annual Senior publication. Because this Year Book is the written record of some of the most glorious years in our life, we suggest that it be honored by receiving a conspicuous place in our homes. Instead of throwing it down in some forgotten corner, or storing it away in a musty attic, why not put it in our case of favorite books, or give it a position of prominence? The members of the Staff have worked hard to put forth a publica- tion of which the Class of 1934 can be justly proud. We trust that we have accomplished our purpose, and that everyone will gain much enjoy- ment and inspiration from THE ORACLE. KENNETH Hurry '34 Facing the W01'1d Facing the world! This is perhaps one of the hardest problems of youth, and we, the members of the Class of 1034, are just at the point when we must attempt to solve this problem. After graduation, we are at what might be called the crossroads of life. At a junction in the road. we 'see one sign that points to success, prosperity, and happiness: another sign points to failure, misfortune, and unhappiness. We are facing the world when we face this signpost. Which road shall we take? Some of us are going to school for the last time. Formal schooling is overhwe go out into the world-a big worldgto earn our living. ln this case we must be careful which road we choose. Of course it will be the one labeled success. Although it will mean hard work to succeed, we must not think of the work, but the goal: therefore, we must keep up our courage, ever going onward, and never backward. Some of us, however, are more fortunate: we are going to college. where we shall receive the benefits of a higher education. We should then, consider ourselves very fortunate, and try to do our best during our college career. College is like a third road, leading through the center of the junction of the two roads formerly mentioned. lt is a long, hard road, much harder than the one which we have previously been traveling. lt has its ups and its downs, its rough spots and its smooth spots, just as our college record may have its good and its bad periods. Then, after four years, this third road branches, and joins the first two roads, thus giving college graduates the same choice as high school graduates: suc- cess or failure. By all means, let us start conhdently on the road towards the future. ready to take hard knocks as they come, and do our best in all under- takings. Such procedure will mean facing the world successfully. DONALD lWlTCHEl.L, '34 9 O Q O Q O 9 O V 6 0 9 O 9 Q 9 6 Q 9 Page Eive 4 0

How often do we ponder over our faults and set forth with determination to correct them? lf each of us were to write a character sketch of a classmate, would it prove to be an admirable one? Let us consider our own character-let us analyze each of our failings, and discover in what respects we are lacking. Now we are Seniors in high school: soon graduation will have passed. and we shall be left to face life's realities. Have we a character built upon traits of the highest order? Can we face life with a feeling of some superiority, with the knowledge that our character is irreproachable? lf we feel inferior in character, we may remedy the defect. There is a prescription for everything: so let us be a doctor to ourselves and pre- scribe those elements which are lacking, and rebuild those which have fallen from their firm foundation. ln order to create a truly admirable character, we must be willing to endure hardship. We may be criticized and scorned in our attempts to maintain worthy ideals, but is not the good life its own reward? Let us all budget our time and invest the greater part in developing a fine character. Let us depart from trivial, shallow undertakings, and erect ideals that cannot and will not be destroyed. Class of IO?-l, the world today, needs most of all, men of noble character. May our class prove to be one source of supply. lNl,xRv Gurus, '34 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .
