forewitrd One of the most fascinating metaphysical phenomena in life is the passing of time. Time is a sort of motion unlike any other and yet so similar it is difficult to separate without a great deal of discontent. The world of art is an area of study which illustrates in part movement or motion — progress or procedure — culminating in mental growth through a skillful talented personal interpretation. This physical universe is composed of many elements beyond our control. Because of the impossibility to control time, the human being attempts to grasp and obtain this element in a manner resulting in personal satis- faction. An individual grasping, fighting, absorbing, and obtaining is one of such intelligence and character that he is constantly trying to broaden and improve. He desires that amount of ability and recognition suitable to his mature stature. A pushing or pulling of the mind develops emotions into physical attributes and time cannot escape without being successfully used To further one’s education is to take advantage of certain opportu- nities available and to grow by using elements derived from the so-called impossible. Thus, it has been proven through our endeavors that we are partially fulfilled in our growth as individuals and in our attempts to control a minute dimension of the universe — aesthetically as w ' ell as intelligently. As mature people we should realize that the growth of the mind is a continuous process in which we will always improve and be rewarded. This can never be removed from us or considered invaluable.
