{MueJUctoA OUR FUTURE Youth has always looked forward to the future. Children of four and five are always eager to enter elementary school. Tomorrow holds for them a brilliant future. Their thoughts, though they cover a comparatively short period of time, are very important. It is then that they first form a basis of personality and may I say — their future? Elementary school is a training period. Through classes in the grades a student learns to study, to be attentive and most miportant of all — to plan. What the student learns here adds to his personality. His attitude toward school, gained in the grades, will mainly determine his scholastic ability and record in high school. Our high school training will undoubtedly play a great part in our future. The greatest single factor which determines one ' s personality is perhaps his association with others. He learns from this association in high school. By the time a student graduates he has positively formed the basis of his future. From high school we have learned many things. The ability to work with others comes from the athletic program. The ability to work alone and rely upon one ' s self comes from the various courses studied. These two abilities are very important. Students have learned them in varied degree according to their aptitudes. This, in turn, is a determining factor in our future. There are many factors which should be considered. The training received at home is vitally important. This is influenced almost entirely by the parents. I do not believe that this can be overstressed. The religious aspect is another very ' important, and too often overlooked, part of our education. These three parts of our preparation form a triangle, personality, formal education, and home training combined with religious training. Like a triangle, the whole is dependent upon the completion of all its parts. Today we are skeptical; yesterday we were eager. What does tomorrow hold for us? For many it holds success, happiness, prominence, and all of the good things of life. As we approach our graduation we realize how large and formidable the world really is. It is, today, in a very unstable condition. It has not yet recovered from the ravages of war, starvation, and inflation. Even after many years these memories will live on. All of these thoughts lead us to wonder just what the future holds for us. Perhaps life will be a bed of roses; more than likely, however, the roses will also bear thorns. We must take these troubles in our stride. When our parents were graduated from high school, the world was in a worse state than it is today. They were undoubtedly full of perplexity and wonder. From them we gain encouragement. We feel that the conditiorr-of the world has never been so bad that it could not have become worse, nor has it ever been so good that it could not have improved. Nevertheless, the world has always held a future for youth. Shall we live in pomposity or in necessity? That is entirely up to the student. May we remember Henley ' s famous lines: I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. I am convinced that our future shall be what we make it. —DALE McCLELLAN fage Twenty-eight
