mm Greetings: As this year has progressed it has become increasingly apparent that the word GROWTH is expressive as related to the current campus conditions and activities. The new Science Hall, Dining Hall and Kitchen and Fine Arts Building represent physical growth. The intellectual attainments and spiritual progress of faculty and student body are less objective but nevertheless evident in many connections — class room, chapel, prayer meetings and personal contacts. The WILL TO WIN is very essential for true progress in any line of endeavor. It is generally recognized as desirable on the part of the athlete. But it is equally useful in the drive behind a student ' s scheduled study hours. Many an athletic team has lost its game because of the indifferent or lazy atti- tude of some player. Scholastic attainments and honors have likewise been missed by many students with too little of the will to win. Spiritual progress cannot be made by those who are satisfied to drift or content to remain on the low levels of the common place. High achievements in any line are never accidental. They are the result of ambitious plan- ning and hard work, of prayer and perseverance. To the student body of 1947-1948 I extend congratulations on ycur youth and op- portunities. Your limitations are largely self-imposed as related to the measure of your will to win. Paul the great apostle wrote — I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Sincerely,
