Life is a journey-a journey upon a great hi hwa . The wa of life is not an :Pri I R g V V , 5 .1,. unblazed trail. Multitudes have traveled this way and there are sign-posts every- where. Yet, the way is new to each succeeding generation of travelers and each NIE traveler must learn for himself how to walk in this way. lik' I lr! ,fri Education is the process of becoming acquainted with life's highway. One learns how it has been constructed-through the sacrifice and toil of those who have traveled the way down through the years. He discovers that the way is ,llllf smoother than it might be if others had not traveled the way before him. One , li' jjj, Jul ' 4 Y, to be found. One's teachers are those, who, having traveled part of the way, return ,Ag-L, learns how to read the sign-posts, and where the rough and the smooth places are to tell him about it, to warn of danger and to instruct in the methods of travel. College is a station on the highway of life. Here we sojourn for awhile to be j 5 jf the better prepared for the rest of the journey. This station being located at certain gi of the great cross-roads of life is not a place where we rest from travel but where ,S we spend much time running back and forth over certain branches of the great high- ,' fi way determining which we prefer as a permanent way of travel. Here we gather QF il' 5 ,, information as to the technique of travel, and chart the way. Here we choose -, t 1 .gl . . . . -lu A ,' travelinf companions and acquaint ourselves with the most modern methods of 'FE--fr W 5 1111 I travel. 'E 'inf . . . . . li l fll One of the first essentials for the ourne of life is to learn the traffic regulations lj I! J V xl of the Oreat Hi hwa . This road bein! crowded with travelers, it is necessar 'g 1 g V in Y , 1,311 that certain regulations obtain in order to avoid catastrophe. For one's own as well W 1 ,l .iz T n Jil! as for the salce of others one should carefull observe the laws of travel. One ' , , . V ,M cannot always follow his own impulses for speed or direction, but must constantly j j take into account the welfare of others. 'K ,il ,j Ujf lla Neither should one assume that other travelers will always obey the regu- l' 'js 1 ii lationsg therefore, one must be doubly cautious. For the safety of all one must many E li Il K T times give more than a just share of the road. The greatest joy of life comes through 13 ,I Nj' properly sharing the road with others and helping other travelers on the way. , Ii jjj' i T ai' l T l li!

we . 0 iii The Presidents Secretary 'Tl Tian The card placed on the door reads, President's ofiice. L. B. BOWERS, President, MARGARET GARVIN, Secretary. Office hours, 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. daily. Not all of which is entirely correct. an 5 ln the first place, it is not the president's officeg it is merely the entrance to the I V gl president's ofiice. Which is as it should be. In the second place, the secretary whom , i 'I one finds upon entrance is not a secretary. She is known by that title for conven- i,, l' ience. President Bowers says she is his secretary when she isn't doing something , i i else, which is most of the time. ln the third place, the office hours are not from 8:00 ' l li, , Q l I 1 , , a. m. to 5:00 p. m. daily. Being a Christian College, of course the office is not open 1 J' on Sunday. The hours are not held to rigidly, either. Seldom does the office close 'Wi w before six o'clock and many evenings bright lights burning in that part of the ' building would indicate that activities had not ceased even at six. E LU When one drops into the office for an interview with the president-at his own i u xl or the presidentls request, and finds it necessary to wait a few minutes in the M' secretary's office, he marvels at the amount and variety of work that seems to find lm, l-3' its way to that one small desk tucked in back of the improvised counter, conveni- My T ently near the telephone-which by the way rings on the average of once every two mug, V f and one-half minutes since there are two extensions to it, one to the president's X: private office and the other to the business manager's office. 'ali T, Q5 During a recent visit to this particular office, special inquiry was made concern- ,I rid ing the nature of the duties appertaining thereto. Before a reply to our inquiry could be made, Miss Garvin was called to the room adjoining on the west. This T I we learned was the mailing room-which means just that. A typist-by-the-hour was i busily engaged addressing interesting looking pamphlets, which we were told were i T being sent to the constituency, That means the papas and mamas of the terri- tory. Next week perhaps a different sort of publication will be mailed to high school graduates. Since all typists-by-the-hour need direction, the secretary to the i president must supervise the mailing out of those thousands and thousands of bulletins and catalogs. Besides, much of the actual compilation of the bulletin ma- terial falls upon the secretary. Of course, some of the big words that appear therein i originate in the president's office. i l 1 , I li AA V, 'T' . 6 A A Y , 'V .E f , urtwu Page Twenty-one
