James Ireland Cash, Jr. - President of the Student Council will CLIll'l0f go Z?acL What I have written, I have written. These words of Omar Khayyam should reflect the spirit of each of us as we face the in- evitable end of another school year. There are some things we would like to blot out, some incidents that occurred during the past year of which we are ashamed. But regrets of the past have no position in the ambitions for the future. Though we cannot relive the past, there is something we can do to right the wrongs of yesterday. This something lies in our future. Here, and here alone can we neutralize misdeeds of the past. We can neither erase unfortunate events completely, nor can we alter them. There- fore, we must: Seek forgiveness for the cutting word spoken, Acknowledge the wrongs we have done, Restore the fellowships we have broken, but most important, Learn from the errors of the past And make the coming years the best we have ever had. It requires no courage or stamina to give up in the face of failure But the true test of the strength of an individual is his ability to press forward, undaunted by discouragement, and to achieve his goals. Yesterday is gone, its deeds are irretrievable. But tomorrow looms on the horizon as a promise of success and achievement for the de- termined youth.

Cl,ClfLAg As the twig is bent, so the tree is in- clined. It requires infinite skill, patience, understanding, and knowledge to bend hun- dreds of twigs in the direction of success. Yet, this monumental task is the everyday existence of each I. M. Terrell faculty member. We do not often realize their worth, and we seldom thank them for giving us their lives. But someday each of us will look into the past and recall these dedicated instructors who gave us our future.
