THE MEDINIAN iff'-H115 I What then will be the nature of this challenge which will offer new opportunif ties? Present social trends furnish our best clews for the answer to this question. A commission appointed during Mr. Hoover's administration recently completed a survey of social trends. It is true that the report of this commission seemed in general to be quite pessimistic. However, there are three conclusions which can be drawn from this report that are quite encouraging to a group of students graduating this year. These are, that people are beginning to realize the necessity of facing reality, that there is a trend from passive to active amusement, and that people are becoming less materialistic. When people actually face reality instead of backing away from it they im' mediately become cognizant of the problems confronting them, the solutions of which demand a change from present conditions. Facing reality is the first step in such a change. However, the mere recognition of the need for a change is not sufficient, action is the next requirement. A change from passive to active amusement is certainly a step in the right direction for one's attitude and behavior toward play is a good index of his attitude and behavior toward work. Nevertheless not action alone but action guided by the highest ideals, can secure a change for the better. Dethroning the God of Materialism promises this guidance, because it will result in directing men's activities toward things of a more benevolent nature. His interests will become more unselfish and his pursuit of cultural activities will be greatly inf creased. If these charcateristics continue to develop, the Class of '33 can expect a change for the better. Even though, up to this point, changes have been considered ,the fact remains that there are certain human qualities that have been tried and found worthy. The only change needed in connection with these is the placing of greater emphasis upon them. It is to be hoped that the Class of '33 will play an active part in the shifting of this emphasis. In the opinion of progressive educators it is the purpose of an education to teach students to recognize and appreciate the qualities, to instill in them a respect and an adherence to the best traditions of the past, and to place more emphasis on how to live rather than on how to make a living. 'They feel that the best things in the past and present will continue to be good in the future and will furnish a foundation fupon which to build a greater tomorrow. This, I am glad to say is the basis for the educaf tional program at M. H. S. The Class of '33 can look forward to a future which will contain the things which are everlastingly good and which will retain the best qualities of the past and present. With what equipment is the Class of '33 starting out in life? From the past it has inherited a country founded on democratic principles with its best traditions. From the present it has received an educational foundation. It has a future which promises a change for the better, a coninuance of the best things we have today, and the greatest of all things challenging new opportunity. Eighteen . , . X X. i X.
