MeAAcuje. f nxun the P ' le ' Lide+it THE publication of the Ambassador is a reminder that the close of the school year is now within range of your vision. Whether the year has been a useful one depends on the individual effort put forth by each student. No one can judge now with any certainty what will be the fruits of the year, for education is an investment in the future. It is only when the work is finished, when you leave the College and enter into life, when the scaffolding of school days is cleared away and crowding interests enter in to take the place of lessons and studies, that the results will truly come to light. We do know that the cheerful fulfillment of the duty of the hour, however commonplace, the diligent application to the immediate respons¬ ibilities, will qualify one to meet the severe strains of later life. One’s talents and temperament indicate what he may become; his way of think¬ ing shows what he wishes to make of himself. As the individual attitude reveals the man. the spirit of the student body manifests the ideals of the school. The Year Book should be the mirror reflecting these principles in action. It should portray the interest and colour of the Campus life, the full and rounded activities of school days. Every phase of life should have its part: religious, intellectual, athletic and artistic. But it also should indicate that the whole purpose of all is to develop a supernatural outlook upon the world, that we should look beyond to the goal of life’s pilgrimage and estimate the things of time by the standards of eternity. In years to come when you glance through the Year Book of 1941 , may it serve to recall not only the memories of persons and places dear to you, but also reanimate the ambition of younger days to do the right thing because it is right, and to avoid wrong action because it is wrong.

MeMeuje jpatft the Principal NOTHER year brings with it a now group of graduates and again the question arises “Whither goest thou? . Young, ambitious, full of con¬ fidence, you look for new worlds to conquer. Rut how may you best ac¬ complish the goal v.hich you have set in life? Accomplishment you have made thus far, as you are only a few of the number who set upon this task lour years ago. Your tasks from this point forward will vary: but success will be yours if you rely upon the principles of goodness, dis - cipline and knowledge which have been instilled into the very fibre of your being during your High School days. Be good boys, and you shall attain the goal of true success in time and in eternity. Be disciplined boys, with that self-discipline which alone can give you mastery over yourselves and the problems you must face in life. Be learned boys, for nothing can bring you greater satisfaction than a knowledge of the best that has been handed down to us by the genius of the race of mankind. In these three branches of wisdom go forward. You have made only a beginning; but you have attained the seed from which great men are sprung. Upright, self-disciplincd, learned, we expect you to be. Apply these three principles to your lives, and we shall have no misgivings that success and enduring happiness will be yours. ( . J. Thompson, C.S.B. l ' GK FIFTEEN
