13 jx , 1 . . . l DEANSgggigthegwmjmmm There come times now and then in life when it is necessary to make a definite turn t ach f one road into another. Usually we have become so accustomed to the presen p rom that we are loath to leave it. We know where to expect the slightly rough places in it, ' ' ' ' ff . T e, and we have learned to mount them in our stride successfully and with little e ort ru we can expect a wider path if it is to be nearer the arterial highway of life, but we know . . . tt . that the obst the heights. Luckily life situations push us out 0 suc gy 11 e and from elementary school to high school, and for many, from high school on to co eg graduate school. All have to he adjusting constantly to either new jobs, or at least new elements in jobs, whether it be among people or thmgs. just how well have we learned to make this adjustment with the least emotional disturbance? Are we using the golden opportunity for learning to make the adjustments h oun here at Juniata in the best way? It is he who adjusts easily and happily w o stays y g ructions and hazards w1ll be greater, and it will take much more effort to a 3.111 f h lethar and we have to make adjustments in spirit and in truth. With my sincere good wishes to all, EDITH L. SPENCER ll

Prqf.-the Boy's true friend ui' Costly buildin full lib gs, spacious halls, numerous classrooms, Wellfequipped laboratories rary shelves, and vvellfplanned athletic fields are not the real college. These are all very desirable and certainly add to any college, but these without appropriate activities centering in and around them have little place in our idea of a college. It is a place Where individuals join with other individuals in a search for truth. Tru from a test tube, from a text book, from great minds as recorded in literature, and from the experiences of those chosen to guide because of their having experienced more deeply than we ourselves. It is a place where we join together to play the game for the fun of the game, a place where We unite to achieve some special object. These all go to make our college, and Will make any college Worthfvvhile. The 1939 ALFARATA is one of these objects which has been achieved by the united effort of all the student body, and the special effort of the chosen staff. We congratulate you on this achievement, and feel certain that it will fully succeed in its purpose, to recall to you in later years, the events of one of the happiest and most profitable years of your life.
