TETZ A mirrored reflection of a year's activity re- veals an ever-meaningful panorama of pleasant ex- periences and enjoyable friends, and we join with the staff in hoping that you will find many hours of pleasant enjoyment in these pages of the TOKA. It presents the greatest problem and the greatest trea- sure-yourselves. Within you are hidden the na- tion's greatest resources, those sleeping giants, the physical, the mental, the social, and the spiritual as- pects of life. You have not one, but four lives to live-a four-fold opportunity to grow, A body, a brain, a heart, and a soul-these are your living tools. To use them is not a task but a golden opportunity to bring new treasures into every waking hour. This TOKA captures the eagerness and the fresh- ness of youth. When youth goes, much goes with it. When adulthood comes, much comes with it. We exchange a world of delightful sensations and impres- sions for a world of duties, work, and meditations. Youth enjoy what man tries to understand. To find new capacities within you is not robbing you of any pleasure. It is helping you to touch life at all angles, absorb strength from all contacts, pour out power on all fronts. If you dare to use your talents, you find yourself growing stronger physically, mentally, soc- ially, spiritually, ancl you multiply them a hundred- fold by sharing their fruit. You give your life away and behold, a richer life comes back to you. I
