Registrar 5 CSSAGE Dear Graduates, Congratulations! Your diploma is evidence that your record is clear. I rejoice with you in this satisfying experience. Your grades have all been turned in to my office. In the next few weeks they will be placed on your permanent record. Your record will remain just as you have made it. It will face you when you are applying for a job or when you are seeking admission into schools of higher learning. Saint Paul, when looking back over his past accomplishments, remarked with a sense of satisfaction, “I have learned.” Learned what? Learned to take the upward way. Learned to dream. Learned to keep perspective in life. Have you learned these same lessons at E.M.C.? If not, I fear someone has failed. The psalmist, the great singer of Israel, once said, “I went into the sanctuary, then un- derstood I.” Evidently Asaph experienced a period of indecision, turmoil of soul, and real danger of losing sight of the true significance of life. Seemingly he viewed only surface facts, and measured life by outward appearances—but only until the rectifying influence of the sanctuary brought him light. He learned that the only place where man can find lasting solutions to his problem is in the presence of God. As the E.M.C. graduating class of 1952, you dare not throw away eternal blessings and meaningful living. You must open your minds and hearts to more than that which appears on the surface of living. You cannot leave God out of the picture without distorting the perspective of life. To be lived well your life must meet your deepest needs, satisfy your deepest longings, grant to you genuine flavor and lasting quality. Thus will you fulfill the Biblical challenge to diffuse the fragrance of Christ everywhere you go. —Ira E. Miller 13
