Principars M essage to tlie CL ass of 1951 A great American essayist once said that no young person ever expected to die. He meant that the end of this earthly existence is so remote that youth does not give it any consideration. It is true that most of us do not worry about matters that are remote, but this does not remove the fact that such matters have a habit of approaching us “like a thief in the night.” It is a common experience to hear an elderly person say, “I simply do not know vhere all the years have gone.” And so, since we cannot stop the on vard march of time, voidd it not be better to heed the words of the British poet who, when speaking of old age, said, “The best is yet to be”? How can we fill these words with truth? Simply by guiding our youthful years along pathways of carefully planned and right living. The Bible enjoins us to remember Ciod tvhile we are young. Pay serious attention to this injunction; it will pay big spiritual dividends in the years to come. Read books that are worth while; select the better radio and television programs. Do not postpone the start of building future financial security; begin systematic saving no v. Remember that vc get out of life no more than we put into it, and a happy old age is built on a program of thinking of and doing for others, as tvell as for ourselves; this program must be started in our younger years. You are about to leave high school and enter broader fields. The guidance of your lives will rest increasingly upon your o vn shoulders. Follow such rules as those outlined above and you will surely enter upon a happy and fruitful adult life. Jay IV. WorralJ [ 10 ]
