We are happy to have reached the goal for which we have striven these four years. Yet with joy ' comes sadness at the thought of friends soon parting. As classmates working together, sharing each others burdens, we have forimed friendships that shall last throughout eternity. To our teachers, we extend our appreciation for your patient, loving interest in us. We shall remember not only the technical and moral instruction you have brought to us, but alsolthe example of your lives and the vision of the world's great need that you have given us. We wish to uphold the principles and high ideals that you have taught us, and reach that place you have inspired us to at- tain. But predominating is the feeling of gratitude to our parents, other relatives and friends for the sacrifices you have made in order to make our education pos- sible. Your love has never faltered, your prayers have never ceased. We have not been unmindful of your assistance and encouragement. They have spurred us on to greater effort. We hope we have fulfilled your expectations and been worthy of your faith. We can think of only one way in which to repay your kindness, and that is to consecrate ourselves to the Masters service. But we must not forget the faithful pioneers of this message who have made this school possible. They saw the need of a school that would fit us for the task that is fast becomi'ng peculiar to us as a people. To warn the world of a soon coming Saviour in this generation is the greatest task given to any people. With this duty and privilege come also proportionate tempta- tions and possibilities of failure. Never has any generation been called to meet such momentous issues or to face such great peril as we face today. In view of these conditions the call is for men and women with firm character, sta- bility of purpose, men and women with convictions and unquestioning loyalty to God. twig God holds up a high standard for the youth, for I read, Higher than the highest human thoughts can reach is God's ideal for his children-Godliness --Godlikeness-is the goal to be reached. This calls for the symmetrical de- velopment of the physical, intellectual and the spiritual powers. Our educa- tion would not be complete if we should neglect any one of these important phases. They are so closely interwoven, so definitely a part of each other, that in neglecting one the others are made less effective. Let us first consider the physical phase. Health should be guarded as sacredly as character, for without health we ca'nnot to the fullest extent ful- fill our obligations to our fellowmen or to our Creator. Since it is throu-gh the body that the mind and soul find expression, both to a great degree depend upon its physical condition. So whatever promotes health, also promotes the development, of fa strong mind, and a well balanced character. We are living in an age of such keen competition and specializing in every line of endeavor tContinued on page ninety-one! be 27 Q
