THE MILL STREAM Class Aclviser's Message No LONG MESSAGE is expected here at this time. just before a hard game, or just before some very diiiicult undertaking, we do not say muchg we get together very intimately for a few moments and say the very important things. I want you to come with me into that private little room of con- hdence where we may talk a few things over a bit. You are going to undertake life in a new setting in a few days. Now you are in schoolg now most of you have both parents and are living at home, now you are not responsible in a very definite way for many things. But tomorrow that will change. For some of you that tomorrow will come sooner than for others. Very soon all of you will have left the sheltering and guiding agencies of home and school, and will be going forward on your own strength. Let me have your confidence for just a moment till I tell you these four or five things. VVork hard at whatever task you find yourself rightly assigned. Be fair in performing every obligation fully and satisfactorily. Speak only those things that are worthwhile and helpful. Lean heavily on the Lord. and do not depend on your own understanding or the advice of those who do not know the Lord. Make friends of those who have made their calling and election sure, the Christian people. You have accepted Christ as your Saviourg now let your life be entirely guided by what you know to be His will in your life. Class Presiclent's Message AND so COMES THE END! But it is really the beginning of our journey through the 'vast expanse of life which lies before us. We cannot look into the future because of the clouds of uncertainty which hide it, but we can trust into the future. In what shall we trust, dear classmates? Shall we place our trust in weapons of warfare as do so many? Shall we throw our hopes into those veiling clouds of uncertainty where they will linger for a short time and then fall to the earth with a crash? The heathen has his idols of wood or stone. Shall we put our trust in idols-idols of gold or fame? Are these the stagnant poo-ls where idly float our aims and aspira- tions? No! Wfe trust in none of these, for they are but of this world of which We claim no part. Our trust is in the great God who created all that was, all that is, and all that ever shall be. Now we are about to meet the challenge the world offers us. It is a great challenge, and many who meet it often fail to accept it fully. The world will have its eyes on us and will observe each move and action. They will have set up in their minds high ideals which they will expect to see in our lives. Can we meet them? Can we face all the obstacles that will be laid in our path? We can only with God's guidance. for lf God be for us, who can be against us ? So as we leave this school let us pray with sincerity, Lead Us, Father. Q -jfiixres R. Hass. 4
