Madsen Scholl Zefdwzq w,azdeS' The oil business is not merely a matter of the discovery and production of oil in its natural forms but the subject of a tre- mendous field of science whereby an almost infinite number and variety of products may be released to the world. Consequently, the oil refinery, previously simply the place where the various com- ponents of crude oil were separated, has assumed a position of prime importance in a rapidly expanding industry. It has developed into a kind of vast laboratory where the oil undergoes a complicated series of processes designed to derive from it maximum quality and utility. All this happens constantly. Thousands upon thousands of barrels of oil are received, fractionated, refined, cracked, perfected, and sent out in their various finished forms simultaneously, offering the world a continuous supply of vital products. There is another business, the business of education, which is also rapidly rising in the eyes of the nation. The need for specialized education has caused a great upheaval in teaching. No longer may students attend a school, assimilate a required number of facts, and step out with confidence into a world growing ever more technical. In order to attain maximum achievement they must be educated precisely on the level and in such a manner as is best suited for their particular needs. The education system of a school can be compared to a refinery where the most noble raw material created, a human being, is molded and refined that it may become a useful and beauti- ful product. As in a refinery the processing is more or less the same, it is the material that reacts differently. At first everything almost happens by itself, but then the material is exploded, chemically changed. The student becomes intensely aware of the relationship between himself and God and himself and man. He becomes aware of the responsibility entailed in these relationships. It is this aware- ness which acts upon him in the same way as the catalysm does upon the oil. Whereas pressure does little but put a finish on the ma- terial, the awareness of responsibility is the element that can radically change him, turn the child into an adult, give him new abilities, new interests. Thus, a senior can easily be compared to a finished product, right out of a refinery. When he began high school, he was raw ma- terial. Since then his mind and body have been subjected to discip- line, his life enriched by experience. He loves his God, his country, and his fellowmen, and he will be of service to them all because he has been made to go through his own type of refinery, a Catholic school. Across the bridge to the refinery in the distance four seniors gaze.
