19 lt-xira (Lsjtn mwnfttt I y xiv j JftfiAXZt i Very few of us are impelled by a clearly reasoned doctrine. We do not take time to form a personal Philosophy on sound logical reasoning. We are actually motivated not so much by a philosophy but by a mood or an emo- tional opinion. This mood changes as we go through the years of life. The mood of the moment ' must not be permitted to congeal into a permanent philosophy of life. if To the Seniors: This Graduation Day is your day—hold it and cherish it as your own. So conduct yourself in the future that you, your family, and your friends will always be as proud of it as you are today. With confidence in your ability and faith in the wisdom of the goal you have chosen for yourself, you will be able to weather what ever storms that come. Remember that the highest reward for Man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it. MR.
