VaUdicio CHOICES And now what? No one can tell us. It is for us to decide. Ve, the class of ' 42, are completing twelve years of preparation for life, learning the fundamentals for living successfully with others and for meeting the problems that will confront us. As yet we have had to make very few major decisions. We have been guided and guarded by our parents, teachers, and friends. We have had very few real worries or cares. Now we are about to leave this period of training and go into society to conduct our own lives as we think best. George Moore, an English author, once said, The difficulty in life is the choice. A day never passes without one ' s making a choice of some kind, and these choices de- termine our lives. Success is to be had by those who can travel on the journey through life making choices wisely with conscientiousness, integrity, intelligence, initiative, and judgment. We must choose a field of occupation so we can earn a living; we must make decisions concerning our social life and activities; and we must make another very important choice, that of our friends. A man is known by the company he keeps, states an old proverb. Success is our goal; choice, our problem. It is to be done, and we can do it. —DOLORES NELSON. I ' ay c Tuoity-foiir

BalMiato PLAYING THE GAME Today we, the class of nineteen forty-two, are entering the greatest game ever played, the game of life. We are not entering this game suddenly. We have been play- ing it for years, but heretofore, we have been sheltered and protected from the hardships. Soon we shall be on our own. For the past twelve years we have been learning the rules. We have been given equipment with which to play. We have learned fair play, coopera- tion, and good sportsmanship also. Our co.iches have been our teachers and parents. We have made friends among our team mates. Though we have worked industriously and hard, we have had time for play. Howe er, all has not been joy for there have been moments of sorrow and pain. Such trials have but helped us to prepare for the game which lies ahead. We stand fortified, ready to give and to take. The world in which we make our way is not a happy one. Today it is beset by such turmoil and chaos as never known before. Our very foundations, ideals, and institutions seem to be tottering and crashing about our ears. Greed and hatred are all about us seemingly conquering all. This is not a pleasant, easy going world in which we take our places. Many of us are bewildered and uncertain as to what goals we seek. But we are not afraid. War and hatred can not break our faith nor destroy our ideals. Right can and will triumph. We, the youth of the world, are the new hope. We shall shape the future. It is for us to restore peace and to rebuild the shattered and shaken world into a better place for all. ' e must have unlimited courage, and resourcefulness, and above all infinite faith in our ideals and mstitutions. When the one Great Scorer Comes to write against your name He writes not whether you won or lost. But how you played the game. —JANE SUMMERS. I I i i Vagc Tuciify-five
