ACADEIVIY GROUP The great' need of this world is meng men and women who are willing tu sit-1. into the ranks and go into the world of darkness to win souls. There is a worl-l of need lying all around us, and the field is white already to harvest. The Lord has need of laborers, Su we must prepare for efiicient service in His xineyard. and must not be satisfied with a superficial preparation, but make it our greatest ambition to give Him our best. XYllk'l'CX'CI' these paths shall lead ns-whether in pleasant places or among harsh thorns-we shall often think of the happy school days spent at H. S. A, Dear parents and friends, it is to you, first of all, we wish to express our sincere thankfulness. You have held up before ns high ideals and have emphasized the importance of our preparing to win souls for Christ. Your prayers for our succesf have upheld us, and we hope that nothing in our future career will bring dis- appointment to you. Kind teachers, as pupils we bid you farewell, but nothing can remove from our minds the remembrance of all you have done for us, or darken the picture of those bright school days spent as tt-aclicrs and students together, NVe tremble as we leave you, for we have relied upon your wisdom, your guidanceg with you, who have been so able and so willing to bestow it, we have sought counsel and assistance. Fellow students, tonight we leave you. Our friendship here has grown into mutual affection and we shall cherish the happy memories of the days spent vri' you. May you ever uphold the high ideals and standarids established when tl' foundation of the Hinsdale Sanitarium was laid. juniors, you will occupy the place left vacant by us.

l SENIOR CLASS responsibilities. These advantages make us debtors to society. Some members ot' tltis class undoubtedly will continue their education in some other school. Otliers with the preparation they have, x '4.' ill eo into the great school of life, where experience is the stern teacher, whose lessons are never forgotten. llut it matters not where we go, the debt remains. ,Xnd tlirongh service only can this debt be paid. Service is expensive, and sotneone must pay the price. The world pays for service and pays well. llut the true servant of mankind pays for service with his own self-sacritice.

Thus tar we have traveled along a pleasant way together, and during' these happy days we have been learning lessons that will prepare us tor the sterner duties of life. XVhile these four years have been passing, one after the other, we have scarcely thought of the forking of the road. Hut now as the summit of the hill is reached, the main road appears to stop and gives place to many paths diverging in as litany directions. Each must choose his own, trusting in the Gite who has promised to go with him even unto the end. He must follow that narrow path out into the world and into the work which the Master has for him to do, lYe must XX'in, though it costs.

f-1i-'1'fbf-e ' xiii Biologic Living and Practice JOHN F. MORSE, M.D.,F.A.C.S. i ji ITHOUT discussion all will admit that the fundamental unit to be considered in living things, plant or animal, is the single cell. Crile says that eacli , Q 1 cell is an electrical battery, and physiological laboratory experiments prove l-it-3 that electrical changes can be demonstrated in cells undergoing vital ac- tivities. It is generally conceded that living cells require certain fundamental conditions to insure normal physiological activity, namely: heat, moisture and food, Animalf and chlorophyll containing plants require certain degrees of light and an abundance of oxygen as well. The more complicated the form in which life manifests itself the more exacting the detail adjustment for the vital processes, but the broad general requirements remain the same. Biologic living means the arrangement of the daily program so that the body shall have reasonable exercise of all its functions with proper variation, adequate periods of rest and suitable supplies for replacement of materials used in vital ac- tivities and in the performance of the work accomplished. This fulfills Huxley's definition of health from the biological standpoint as, The perfect adjustment of an organism lu its environment. In the poise and efficiency of the human machine in health, one is ready to believe that such a perfect balance is being maintained by all the cells of the body in their various functions, Only the man, woman or child who is in the habit of taking each day a sufficient amount of all-around physical exercise in the pure air to enable the body to oxidize wastes and eliminate the body poisons, and at the same time takes an adequate amoun' of easily digested, nutritious food without substances harmful to the body, and the needed amount of rest and sleep, can be said to be living a biologic life. I believe that at least twelve to sixteen hours daily, in the out-of-door air should be required before a candidate is accepted as belonging to the ranks of the faithful who are ful- filling the natural requirements. Qccasionally the community is shocked when some one who is supposed to bc in good health succumbs to an acute infection, or is unable to pass successfully thc extra strain of a needed operation. Careful inquiry always shows that such a persor either has had a handicap in the way of a previous disability or, as is more ofter the case, he has been constantly violating some of the plain laws of nature regarding the proper care of the body, NVhen one is not in good health he should see a qualified physician at once. The history, physical examination, X-ray and laboratory tests, should show in what par- ticulars the conditions deviate from the normal. The physician can then prescribe treatment and suggest ways in which the patient can get into line with the great creative forces of the universe. This is accomplished by acting in harmony with the known laws of biology as applied to the human body. Until recently, surgery was the only branch of the science and art of healing that effectually followed approximately biologic lines. If a bone is broken the frag- ments are reduced to as nearly a normal position as possible and properly supported till the recuperative powers of the body can repair the damage by creating new bone. If the appendix becomes inflamed it is diagnosed and removed at the proper time according to the pathological indications worked out so splendidly by Murphy. But Fifty
