A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER l Mr. L. R. Severinghaus, Headmaster As you seniors move into college life, much will claim your attention. Fore- most will be the excitement of a new environment and of new friendships. You will be surrounded by athletic contests, club and fraternity activities, and the pleasant informality of dormitory life. These attractions are understandable and in themselves in no sense wrong. Danger lies in the failure to limit extra-curricular life to an amount that will still provide sufficient time for sound scholastic performance. Under today's educational competition, it is not enough to get by in all your subjects. The student with a low group rating is first warned and then dropped. Bewildered by the sudden and usually irrevocable action, he discovers that college life, so keenly anticipated, is over. The carefully planned approach to life through higher education has come a cropper. A new design must be worked out. This should not become the experience of any member of the graduating class. Maintain a sensible balance between your study obligation and your social urges, and your security will be assured. It would be a pity, however, to have as your incentive to work nothing more than the fear of expulsion. Dis- cover the excitement of broadening your knowledge and of applying it wisely to your world. Accept personally your responsibility for the betterment of society, not only locally but in its broadest dimensions. And finally, undergird your living by being faithful to your religious heritage. A conscientious effort on your part to place first things first will bring you to a remarkable discovery, namely, that there is nothing inconsistent between a midnight hamburger and an honor record in college. 6
