To Members of the Graduating Class- Doubtless many of you, for a number of years, had been planning on con- tinuing your education next year or entering upon a definite career. Now, under existing economic conditions, these well-laid plans must be either temporarily laid aside or completely revamped to suit the times. Waste and extravagance are clearlv seen when applied to obvious material things, such as, clothing, food, and standards of livingg but probably the greatest economic loss suffered both by the student and society comes from unguided or misguided human energy. A vocation and career which costs thousands of dollars, and which is a means of livelihood for life, is fre- quently left to the caprice of the indi- vidual. Discuss your problem of further schooling critically, with many persons whose honest opinions you value. With the help of these opinions, make your decision. Lorena Marfarlazze. Dean of Students To the Seniors, 1933 The selection of f'Progress as your theme for the Star of the North is in- deed expressive of the youthful cour- age and idealism so much needed in a world distraught by social and econo- mic disorganization. It implies that you believe that our present malad- justment is a growing pain of a quickly developing civilization, and I am confident that in the not far dis- tant future a happier and better or- ganized society will attest the fact that your faith is not unfounded. The most significant thing to me is that we shall have a super-abundance of leisure time, the use of which will determine the success or failure of our civilization. You are the vanguard of a new era. our greatest fear, and our greatest hope. You can be an inspira- tion and an example both to old and young if you use your enforced leisure not in fruitless endeavor, nor as an ali- bi for marking time, but as a prepara- tion for, and an appreciation of, the better days that are to come.
