MESSAGE II'O SIENICES COMMENCEMENT is a season chat marks a beginning and an end. We must go forward; so it is well to consider how to meet the new life before us. We may think of the journey through life in terms of driving an automobile. Consider yourself behind the steering wheel of a modern auto. As you drive along through crowded streets you cannot afford a lapse of attention. You watch the other cars, you take notice of the signs, lights and signals. You watch your gasoline gauge, ammeter, oil pressure and temperature. In short you exercise sustained attention. That is not enough. You must be sure that you understand and correctly interpret the signals and signs, for otherwise they are of no avail. In other words you must have a correct perception. But that is not all. for it is only a necessity for safe driving. You must be ready to move your foot from the accelerator to the brake when a child jumps in front of you or a signal suddenly changes. Which is to say you must be ready and willing to make a quick re-action to conditions before you. Life is much like that. We each have our own life to direct through the perplexing ways of the world. We must give constant attention to the signs and signals. We must quickly and correctly interpret their meaning. We must be ready and willing to change our course according to conditions. Adapting a life to environment and at the same time maintaining sound principles and policies of living demand correct information. careful thought and fair judgement. It is my hope that each of you has built a foundation for such living. If so. your life will be a success. Cordially. Ralph S. Dewey RALPH S. DEWEY
