Webster defines the word adventure as an exciting experience!.fhe word itself is exciting. It suggests exploration, new things, new ex- perience, and fun. It appeals to everyone, but especially does it ‘appeal-to the young in heart. Its magical charm’ has»captivated countless millions through the’ centuries. “Somewnames stand out fromythe rést», There were the soldiers —David, Alexander the Great, Richard the Lion Hearted, Frederick the Great. There were the scientists, missionaries, writers, scholars, in- ventors, and industrialists. But adventure does not belong to the past, nor to any particular people. For every frontier which has vanished a dozen new ones have re- vealed themselves. There are still wars to be fought and won—against crime, highway ac- cidents, disease, famine, hate, fear, and above all, ignorance. There is so much to do and so little time! Never have the challenges been greater. We have harnessed the atom—but we fear the use man will make of it. We are threatened constantly by dozens of dreaded diseases—but we have few cures and preventions. Well, the frontiers are many, but the adven- tures are few. For it takes more than a ‘‘let the other fellow do it’’ attitude. It also takes more than just a “‘get by’’ attitude. If we assume these positions, we will march backward just Mr. Bruce Kent Guidance Director Mr. Cecil Doss Business Manager as surely as if we did nothing at all. Alice, in Alice in Wonderland, put it aptly when she said, ‘‘It takes a heap of running just to stand still,’’ or words to that effect. The world loves a fighter, a ‘‘go getter’, the fellow with a healthy curiosity and a will to find the answers. He is the owner of the spirit of adventure. It is he who will conquer the new. frontietsen. But where does one finds=this adventure? We cannot all be scientists, explorers, or soldiers of fortune. The Animo gives.us one clue. Adven- ture is right here! It iseall around us. Every class, with its answers to-satisfy our curiosities about life around us; @very book, with its storehouse of information and pleasure; every club, with its opportunities for leadership and service; every sport, with its outlets for our bursting energy—all work together to make life interesting, exciting, and worthwhile. But all of these happy adventures are be- hind lock and key, and the key is a combi- nation of ambition, curiosity and hard work. The final ingredient is a genuine love for life. How about you? Do you possess the key? If you do, the knocks will never be hard enough and the disappointments will never be big enough to get you down. As long as you hold to your key, life will aways be one big, wonderful adventure. Mrs. Edith F. Arrington Secretary People é People me ajaoag me 2]d00q People Fea =. People im
