LIFE I THE FUTURE WHAT 0UR NEXT 40 YEARS HOLD Time, it just slips right through our fingers like a million grains of sand. We can grasp it with a tightly clenched fist, but only for a moment, then it contin- ues to elude us. We strain and struggle to prevent it from escaping our des- perate hold. Alas vve discover that to capture this elusive creature we must savor it within the stomach of our minds and treasure it in our hearts. We ache to possess as many of times special moments as vve are able until eternity has passed. Then one day We suddenly realize that there are a million grains of sand just like those special moments we so deeply trea- sure yet to be born. Together we can all share a dream of fairy tale times. Our imaginations can weave beautiful scenes from lifes drudgery. With wings trimmed in lace we can exceed all of these earthly lim- its and soar into eternity. lf vve manage to concentrate hard enough and let our minds do the leading, we can find a place vvhere inner peace reigns. In a World full of ul don't cares, sometimes it is hard to try harder, especailly when we fail. In these times vve need to meet lifes greater challenges and strive harder to meet the goals we have set for ourselves. When we use time to our best ad- vantage vve soon realize the measure- ment of a happy life isn't whether or not vve reached all of our goals, but how far we went vvhenuvve did our best.

THE BEST I YET T0 COME Life now is a Kaliedoscope of choices. Circumstances are constantly changing with medicine, technology, and people pushing to the limits and beyond. History is being created at a rapid rate. lt would be hard to keep up with these important events as well as busi- ness if it weren't for the complicated systems of computers and satellites that is at the core of our modernized world. Space missions are conducted almost as easily as airplane flights. Our shuttles orbit the earth conducting experi- ments, fixing and launching satellites frequently. We see artificial organ transplants being conducted with an ever increasing amount of success. Athletes are breaking records of strength, speed, endurance and agility with the help of science, heading up a growing health movement amongst all. We value personal freedom while showing a renewed interest in religion and a return to stronger morals. We support such causes as: Live Aid-for the starving, Farm Aid-to support the family farm, and Sun City-fighting Aparthied in South Africa. The lovingfcaring attitudes com- bined with our fast growing technological advances will help to deal with, the nuclear arms race, AIDS, balancing the national budget as well as our other problems. IUK has had a good forty-years, with a little luck and a lot of work the next forty should be even better, while our education helps prepare us to meet life's greatest challenges.
