How well it has achieved this objective is to be witnessed in the lives of its graduates through the years since it was first established. The full impact of its influence, however, will not be known until the intimate records of each individual have been evaluated by an impartial Judge and the results made known in the earth made new. In the days to come just as in the past a devoted and conse- crated faculty will emphasize character education. Christian teachers who know how to pray for youth will be at the helm guiding the destiny of the students. This is the chief interest of the Board. . 0. ftalche

PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE What Is It? A beautiful shady campus, new essential buildings, rep- resentative equipment, and a rural location do not make a Seventh-day Adventist boarding academy. All of these essentials are necessary. They represent the abstract, the material struc- ture, of an institution. They, in reality, are not the school. A, boarding academy is a prepared environment where trained, experienced, and consecrated teachers direct know- ledge-hungry youth along paths of right thinking and Christian living. The tender plants of thought and character building which flourish during the teen-age period are given special guidance during this important growing and developing period. The student is given the opportunity to prepare, through building power into his life, to do great things for God and for his fellow men. Prospective students, if you want to live in a community ipade up of classrooms, dormitories, dining room, playfield, mill, press, laundry, shop, farm and campus life, you are invited to consider this institution as you choose your next school home. You will like the Christian students who attend each year. The friendships formed while here will add to the joy and happiness of your life. It is a real privilege to live, study, work, and associate with young people and teachers of like purposes and like ideals. No group of secondary youth will be housed in better dormitories than those at Adelphian. Both boys and girls will have new, fire-proof homes for the coming school year 1951-52. If you desire to enjoy the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual opportunities for growth offered by this institution, you are in- vited to make application for admission now. . a.M
