While this convergence goes on, we are no more than high school students. But as soon as we have answered to the roll and heeded the strains ot the Star Spangled Banner, we talae on new characteristics. Some ot us, by our membership in the Scholarship Society, claim distinction through our hard work and diligent study. Others, as the roll-call ot the Continental and Surveyor statts attest, intend to enter the tield ot journalism. Still others through actual experience in shops or laboratories will some day become aviators, printers, electricians, chemists, and members ot the many other professions and occupations. So it goes. Each student has an aim in lite. His three to six years spent here do tor him what the apprenticeship does tor the tine watchmalcery they teach him the tundamentals. His accomplishment comes with time and experience. l 7 l Praise. praise. praise for fhe new beginning of days.
