Youth needs this spirit to meet the perplexing problems and uncertainties of the age. Since the bombing of Hiroshi- ma the future has seemed insecure, for the fear of an atomic war has loomed large on the horizon several times. Yet there are so many prom- ising fields ot invention and devel- opment that we must look past the world's darkness into the rays ot light and hope wherein lie our hopes and dreams for the future. Today is still oursg the fate of to- morrow lies with us. We must be willing and able to answer as did a wise man long ago. When asked what he would do if he were told he was to die at sunset that day, he said, I would finish hoeing my garden. We, too, must go on hoe- ing our gardens and living our lives to the best that is in us.
