-immii .mJra LIFE— A GREAT ADVENTURE Life is a great adventure. All who live find adventure profitable if they make good use of it, constructive if they choose wisely, futile if they make it so, but always interesting. We come upon obstacles which we cannot always overcome. There is no assurance that what we do will lead to a certain end, but one may plan and enter into this great adventure with hope. Vision is the first essential of this great planning. If we are to get any place in the world, we must not wander around spending our time at other things. We must look ahead to what we want and make our goal high enough that when we reach it we are on the top. No one was ever a success in life without some sort of vision of what he wanted to do or what he wanted to be. But having vision, we must also have faith in ourselves. We must be sure that what we are doing is worth doing, and that wc can do it well. Vision and faith are not all that are needed, for we must have action in order to progress. A quality necessary to action is courage. We must have the courage to keep going even though our vision fails or our faith is shattered. Having all these qualities is not enough; we must combine them into one force, energy. Energy is human horse power; it is not a virtue in itself, but the application of virtues. We see our goal; we believe that we can reach it; we have the courage to go ahead in the face of ditficulties — the outcome of all these is our going ahead to attain our goal. The greatest adventure in life is, of course, living. Many of us, who are now fin- ishing our school careers, wish that we might be able to have a second chance. Many of us would do better a second time. We think we should do a great deed or find time to do things which we had plenty of time to do but never did do. A number of things that are not pleasant happen in life; we have done things which we are ashamed of; we are guilty of things unworthy of us; we are the victims of unfortunate circumstances. If we had a second chance all this would be changed, but there have been so many pleasant times, so many nice people, so many satisfactions. These are the things we should like to live over again, not the chance to do better a second time. The threads of opportunities lie broken along the path of our school days. But our joy comes, not in regretting what might have been, but in making the most of what yet may be. During the past twelve years our teachers have guided us and helped us to pick up these opportunities. To them we are grateful. But now we are beyond the jurisdiction of our teachers; we are faced with the task of making our own decisions and finding our opportunities. We regret that we arc at the end of one great adventure, our school days; but we rejoice that we are at the beginning of another great adventure, finding our place in the world. A new world lies before us with numerous opportunities. We must have the vision to see our advancement, faith in our own ability, and courage to carry out our plans. These will make our own success in life — a great adventure. — Mary Catherine Lippincott. Pa e tticnly
