FRUM THE HEAD PRUMPTHR While it may look non as il' the show is oxer. ue must all realize that it is only the first performance. or even a dress rehearsal. Although a curtain goes flown with the close of this show. another curtain is simultaneously going up. This new act. college and college life. will awaken those ol' us who are not yet fully conscious of the forces in the world which are acting' upon us. For we must realize that while many of us have matured in the lace of the prohlems al'l'er,-ting humanity today. many others. including even those with respectahle averages. have remained unconcerned, holding on to a comparatively narrow. sell'-centered outlook on life. I shall also always remember our stay at Science. and the opportunity it afforded me and my Classmates. l feel that me are all more lmalanced individuals hecause me have participated in a very full round of activities. hoth curricular and extra- curricular.
