OUR COUNSELORS ELIZABETH W. LASSEN How to invest one's life is too vital a thing to leave to chance. Have you made plans for investing yours? Education is like a building. Your new senior high- school building didn't just happen. It is the com- posite result of long-range planning to the end that you might have the advantages of the best educa- tional facilities within the range of the financial resources of this community. To achieve this goal, more thought had to be given to planning, to laying a solid foundation., to erecting a durable structure of functional worth, and to eye- appeal features. Each individ- ual brick in this building has a specific job to do. As the complexities of living multiply, it becomes ever more imperative for you to explore, choose, and plan, so that you might make the greatest possible positive contribution to society commensurable with your per- sonal resources. Will your building of the fu- ture be a hollow shell behind fine veneer or will it reflect, as does this school, methodical planning, wise use of available materials, and skillful workman- ship? WILLIAM D. DENTON Countless authors have written ,about and orators have talked about the limitless opportunities for the young graduate as he enters into full member- ship in our society. Certainly, it cannot be denied that opportunities are boundless in this land of ours. Yet, in spite of this fact, more abilities are wasted, more talents remain untapped than ever before. YVhy? Because many are content to drift along the easiest path, letting their futures be de- termined by chance rather than by creating their own futures through careful planning, truth- ful self-analysis, and the utmost utilization of their experiences. The student who takes courses for credits, rather than a desire for knowledge, the typist who leaves a letter uncompleted be- cause the clock has struck five, the worker who does shoddy work where it won't show-to them opportunity is limited. The person who constantly strives to better himself, who does a good job because of pride in accomplishment -to hin1 op- portunity has no limit. Plan your futures well, but, re member, there are no free rides to success.
