These five words represent the feelings of -the Senior Class of Carson Long Institute. This class, soon to break up, will see each per- son setting out to obtain a position or to further his education. The majority of boys will be worrying abou-t college life and college prob- lems. It is now that every high school student realizes -that college is no longer the proving grounds but ra-ther the parade grounds for the finished product. It is in the years just elapsed -that we have each written a decisive page in our life book. And so now, as we set Ollt for college with the best background known, we must try to go further in our education and grow up to be good citizens. There is another thought portrayed by these live words-that of a college student struggling for his graduation to gain his security. For this security, which is valued so high by so many, men became soldiers overnight to 'fight for'a nation that believes in security for all. Some men, for protecting -this country, will be crippled from injuries they received while in battle. Then -there is another group-those who gave their lives that their children, your children, and my children could enjoy that security -they prized so highly. This security is wrapped around a home with its pleasantries. These pleasantries are revolving around a wife and children, all of them happy for their security. It makes you happy too, -to see your wife and children all united under one roof because you set out to seek security and found it. And so now as we of the Senior Class of Carson Long gather together for the last time to receive our diplomas, we realize that we are just starting in the field of education which will eventually bring us our security. So may these five words remain in our hearts to be practiced through our lives, Seek and Thou Shalt Find.

THE CARSONIAN OF 1947 f ROBERT L. GARLOCK K Rudolf Zero! UDOLF DIESEL was born in Paris, France, on March 18, 1858. He was a great German engineer and inventor. His education was received at various colleges in France and Germany. In 1886 he secured a position as manager in a refrigeration plant. He worked in this plant till 1890. Two years later he 111oved to Augsburg and it was there that he began working with the internal-combustion engine. This was about 1893. In 1895 he patented the Hrst Diesel engine. The Diesel engine worked much more satisfactorily than the regular internal-combustion engine. The Diesel engine was first publicly exhibited at the Munich Exhibition of 1898. Shortly after the exhibition there was widespread commen-t con- cerning Diesel and his marvelous invention. In 1904. and 1912 Diesel visited America. In the latter year he delivered many lectures to American engineers and engineering colleges. In IQI3 England was facing a drastic situation that meant only war could result.

The British Admiralty summoned Diesel for consultation with English industrialists. Mr. Diesel prepared immediately for 'his trip to England. On September 29th he boarded the Antwerp-Harwich mail steamer Dresden and sailed for England. The following day the Dresdon docked at Harwich and it was dis- covered that Mr. Diesel 'had 'disappeared some- time during the night. Immediately there was an investigation but Mr. Diesel could not be found. This Diesel engine powered many of the ves- sels that landed on the beaches of Normandy, Sicily, japan, and the Pacific Islands. Today the Diesel engine powers -immense construction equipment, is used in rail centers for various purposes, gives power to large industrial plants, and above all is used to generate the electricity tha-t lights American cities. Yes, Diesel well deserves being called one of Germany's greatest engineers and inventors.

Forget it. Don't forever be raking it up, 'thinking it over, wishing you had done dif- ferently. Forget it. What's done is done. I-t's down in the bottomless pit of the past, let it rest. Look ahead not behind. Think of to- morrow, not yesterday. You can make some- thing of tomorrow, yesterday is beyond recall. Yesterday's as -dead as a door-nail, as lifeless as a brick, as hopeless and changeless as wood. Turn away from it. Tomorrow's alive, filled with beauty, and is bulging with power. Turn to it. Forget-ting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before us is the key passage to success. For the future is everything that life needs. A lot of you probably have had some bad experiences in the past. Maybe these bad ex- periences occurred in your high school class- room, maybe on the athletic Field, or at home. All -these incidents keep coming back to you and leave nothing but worry and confusion. It was a wise man who said, Never cry over spilt milk. Forget it, boy. You have brought tears to the eyes of her who brought you into this world and whose love for you is greater than any other thing in heaven or on earth. But she will think of it no more if you will only come back, put your face upon her knees, and let her love enfold you. A mother's love is e-ternity's wildest, deepest sea, and everything you have done wrong will be drowned in it. Forget it, everybody. Every rising sun brings a new chance to all the sons and daughters of men. Every swelling moon means a new month of opportunity. Every star is a star of hope. Forget it. Face front, you!
