These years seem to have passed in a very short time, for we can remember only the outstanding events which have taken place ever since our first year. Our attitudes toward life and its meanings have been changed intensely in the last few years and now a world full of opportunities welcomes us as we wait to see how we will tit into its category. It is so easy for us to forget what we are living forg and just live without realizingtthat God made -and gave each .of .usa life for which .we are responsible. Satan, with his insidious ways, will try his utmo-st to entrap us and lead us from the glory of God's kingdom. As we meet his attacks, We should not become discouraged and indifferent to spiritual things, rather we should be true witnesses of God. As we trust in the victorious Christ, He will give abundant grace to meet all disappointments. We a1'e experiencing a few of life's adventures while we are in school, but when we paddle our own canoes, we may be even more unaware of what lies ahead and We must become adjusted to a new routine of living. Classmates, we must realize with full sincerity that We are venturing into a wicked world, darkened by sin, where a Chistian life shines like a jewel. The best way to meet the world, and its challenges, is to meet it face to face with a witness that is wholeheartedly for 1Christ and in true service for our Redeemer. Press toward the mark and forever keep and live for your motto, Excelsior . . . with Christ. - Class Adviser's Message XV e have been almost like a big family, we did not hesitate to say to each other what we thought for we felt sure that we would be understood. We had our fun and our serious moments, at times there were depressed spirits and then again there was courage. VVe were not able to tell just what caused these feelings. At times we wanted advice and could not get it, and at other times we were told how to make decisions when we wanted to do our own thinking. Seniors, this is life. Tomorrow and in the days and years to come you will be constantly trying to learn the best ways to get along with others. All of you have made a profession of wanting to serve the Saviour and as you learn to follow him and adjust all your thinking to His teaching you will reach the acme of success and joy. The opportunities that will present themselves are not easy to deter- mine now, but if you will keep in mind your motto and your S8.lVlOl,1I',S teaching you will find your place of service and feel confident that you are doing what you should be doing. As a parting message I would like to say, do not look for big things to do or to- be, just because they are big. Look, rather, to see some sign of guidance to learn what is the Lord's will. 4
