W CContinued from Page 301 to give him critical times in which to run. We might also add that milers in life as well as in track are apt to place too much stress on winning the race, and not enough on the four minute mile or self-improvement, which admittedly is the goal of civilization. How then does this idea of never taking it easy apply in Milton? Milton is a place in which, for the most part, times are not too critical. Here we don't run the risk of losing our lives the way we should if we had been in Korea. Naturally, this should be an asset rather than a liability, but it is up to the individual, not the school, to make it so. A good example of this individual responsi- bility at Milton is religion. In general, when a Milton student is asked about religion, he will take a deep breath and tell you with an air of wisdom, I just don't knowf' He will admit that religion is a tremendously im- portant factor in the world today, in these critical times, but he seems to imply that religion is not a thing which he can learn from a book, and that he is therefore justi- fied in making no attempt to learn anything about it. There is one thing about this lack- adaisical attitude that is certain. If he hasn't got the initiative to try to leam some- thing about it, itis a sure thing that no one could spoon feed it to him! It is an indi- vidual problem, and maybe that is why we resent being told to go to church, even though it is for our own goodf' Perhaps high school students are not capable of pushing themselves when times are easy. Perhaps religion cannot be learned below the college level. But certainly it all boils down to the original thought: that one can't stop trying to improve to the best of one,s ability, and that we can try to avoid the downward curve of the cycle of prog- ress which fatalists call inevitable, we must try to do these things at all times, critical and easy alike. We know that we can improve, we know that the problem lies in the individual. This is what makes us hopeful rather than cyni- cal, and optimistic rather than pessimistic at Graduation. 0 fContinued from Page 421 The Orchestra thanks the seasonis two presidents, Patricia Smith and Robert Free- man, and the two perennially successful conductors, Mr. Abell and Mr. VanSlyck.
