Class Presidents Message As we, the senior class of 1947, press on into a new phase of life, we find many oppor- tunities lying ahead of us. We are unable of ourselves tokface the future in a positive man- ner, so we accept Christ as our guide to illuminate the path which our great Creator has planned and designed for us to follow. How appreciative we should be that we have a guide to lead us through trials and on to triumph! Without such an one We would never see triumph. Spurgeon said there are no crown-wearers in heaven that were not cross-bearers here be- low. The fact is quite evident that trials must and will come. It is the way we face the trials and overcome them that determines the extent of our triumph. May we all approach life with its disappointments, afflictions, or whatever the trials are, never failing to follow our Morning Star which is ever shining brighter, inviting us into the greatest and final triumph for all noble characters who are cleansed by the blood shed by the Champion of trials and the Giver of triumph, -Paul Kurtz.
