Pa 1935 Facing the Realities in the World HE world is one of the most interesting things to us young people. We are interested in it first, because, there is some place we must occupy in that world, secondly, we do not understand many of the mys- teries involved in it and finally we wonder how it is going to treat us when we are ready to meet it face to face. We Seniors should now be prepared to meet the world. We have completed twelve years of study, having been carefully guided over the difficult road by our teachers.

Do you see in the distance that open door? It is a narrow door and only by climbing laboriously up the many steps leading to it can this precious door be reached. This is the door of OPPORTUNITY, its destination, SUCCESS.

We must realize that each step will grow more difficult, but that each step conquered will bring us nearer to our goal. As each step is taken, we will begin to realize that as long as there are hungry, underprivileged, unfairly treated people in the world, our work is not finished. We cannot be concerned only with our own welfare, we must be ready to help others. It must be our aim to do the best we can, when we can, and for whomever we can. W'e must discover some method by which everyone will have a chance to earn a living. It is our business to realize that people will have to be satisfied, short of their ultimate desires, if everyone is to be served. We are not going to be so much concerned with a few people being millionaires, but we are going to be concerned in seeing that no one is in want of food ge Five
