EDITORIALS JUST IN PASSING In the years preceeding and the years forthcoming there has and always will be the problem of how to meet the future. This class being no different than any other has iound itself confronted wit h the same predicaments many of which seem impossible at first glance, but, what is there that cannot be conquered? This class now is like a ship on its maiden voyage sail- ing out into the sea of the world seeking its given fortune. Ihe ship will have its set back and so must we, out here in school we have to prepare ourselves to meet these shortcomings. Remember when we were fresh- men and we were told to select the course best suited to ourselves and to our abilities. Well, here we are seniors and our four years are over. Are we any more ready to set out and meet the world now or are we still in the immovable stage? Let’s take one last gander and dec 5 de. Some have the advantage of go- ing on to college and be able fur- ther to adapt themselves. But those of us who must go now and find work will discover it more difficult than it appears on the surface. t ' or this is the end--the finis of our education. How will we fare com- peting against the one next to us for work? Will he or I get the job? It ' s pretty difficult and maybe in a few years we will be wishing, like we were always told, we were back once more in school. Now we all laugh when we think of that, hut there may come a day. •Two of the great advantages they say we have on our side for at- taining success are the blindness of youth and the will to make the learn- ing from the experience of our par- ents supplemented by our twelve years of education. If we are pre- pared, set out, and without a doubt we will overcome life ' s obstacles and achieve the goal we have in ml nd. A SENIOR’S CHALLENGE We are graduates now and should have our thoughts about life and our own particular code of ethics well settled in our minds. Our time has come to make nse of our plans. col- lege, job, or trade that has been a vague thought or dream for four years is about to become a reality. Many graduates do not seem to be aware of this and are still dreaming. But whether we are still considering or have our plans all made there are some- things we should all remember. Whatever our aim is in life we should aim high. Never let us set our Ideals low lest we fall short of our mark. If we set our roal at the top we may have to work harder to attain it but no worthwnile object was ever gained without effort and sacrifice for these are what make the object worth while. We should remember not to let life discourage us. o far in life we have been sheltered by our parents, teachers and friends who have helped and prodded to make us do our best. After gradu- ation we are going to be on our own, and it will be our responsibility if we succeed or fail. We owe something to ourselves and to those who are connected with us. Our life is never our own entirely no matter how hard we try to alter this fact. If we accept this and adjust our- selves to it life will be happier and smoother than if we try to rebel a- gainst it. We don ' t usually like advice but sometimes it helps a little to listen to it. We don ' t have to take it but it may help us when we are making our own decisions so remember these few facts writt en on this page. By the same measure we should not set our goal too far beyond our capa- bilities. Discouragement often sets in in this case and the work is given up entirely. It is well to be ideal- istic but we must be realistic also for pure idealism can be very impractical at times.
