-— — equtitiéetins Graduates of Today Commencement time is'a time of beginning—beginning in the’ sense that the student has completed one lap of his journey of preparation and is ready to start on another. Many graduates are wondering just what ‘step lies ahead for them. They may doubt that an immediate start on the next phase of their careers is at hand due to the ap- parent chaos of our economic life. They stand at a crossroads wongering which path to take and it may seen that all paths are obstructed. rs The danger of pessimism is great. Because of this it is well to look at a few facts on the other side of the picture. It is clear that our civilization is passing through a great. transition period. Old things are being swept away and many new experiments are being tried. Because of the greatness and suddeness of the chonge it is keenly felt and aceomnanied by disaster and tribulation. Although our present order may seem to be tumbling about our ears, it is necessary to have faith that a new and better order must ‘come.

There are other valuable f ields that must not be forgotten. The use ot increased leisure time, the aesthetic side of life, a true understanding of Christ, an appreciation of home and friends are a few important phases of life that must be developed for complete living.
