TIME As we draw to the end of this our last year here, we begin to realize the changes that have been wrought in us under the influence of the Seminar) ' . Time is the builder of our strength, developed through work and under- standing. Our values are assimilated over a period of time. It takes time to gain understanding and wisdom, and to weigh our thoughts in relation to the beliefs of others. Time molds our characters, as we garner the ideas and opinions of others and from our discriminating consideration of them, form our own philosophy of life. Time can be kind or cruel. To us it has been exceedingly kind. Our life here has provided us with both the inspiration and the opportunity to learn and wonder. It has given us the time to develop and stabilize our knowledge, our character, and our faith. Time has given us much, and we, in return, must use our advantages well. Miss Ruth Jenkins Our Headmistress I wonder how many times I ' ve sat in that office, just as have hundreds before me, and hundreds will after me! She sits behind her desk serenely, and I can ' t help thinking over and over again how won- derful she is to let me take up her valu- able time with my really insignificant problems. Marvelous and sagacious in all her decisions, she helps build my self- confidence. She has helped me through many troublesome times, as I ' m sure she has helped many others.
