TVk OawM ot imAt too This mural by George Sasser, a Madison Heights graduate, is a pageant of the past and present. It represents man ' s educational development up to the present and expresses the strain of modern living. It implies that man stands on the threshold of self destruction but offers hope for the future in the dedi cation of the doctor and nurse. Dear Father, help me to realize that these are my years of opportunity. Help me to know that this is the portion of my life set aside for growing in wisdom as well as in stature, a time to develop responsibility. Grant me the power to face up to the best that you have given me, to find my talents and to develop them and employ them that they may do the most in Thy service. Open my eyes that I may marvel at the beauty of Thy creation, that the wonders of Thy universe may find responsiveness in me. When work proves difficult, give me courage to rise to its challenge. Let me sense Thy nearness, standing ready to supply me with the extra power I need to see it to completion. Ruby A. Jones Reprinted from GUIDE POST
