The fact that he falters and soon falls to the floor does not detract from the importance of this great event. As he grows in stature and ability, he finds that he is ready for other steps, but since each may lead in a different direction, he is faced with the problem of deciding in which direction he is to travel. He realizes the need of advice and guidance in order to direct his activities toward a worthwhile goal. All of us should be concerned about the next steps we arc to take. We should calculate our shortcomings and abilities and measure the size of our steps on the basis of those calculations. It is often good judgment to pause momentarily as we stride through life, to give us an opportunity to seek help from others and set our goals accordingly. Let us always keep our goals clearly in mind so that we need not falter from the paths we have chosen to lead us through the future. — Norman A. Jensen It has been said that The greatest happiness in the world is to make others happy; the next greatest is to make them think. In this day as we face a rapidly changing and complex world, students need to do more and letter planning for their future. Problems concerning government, economics, politics, religion, automation, and national defense make it necessary more than ever that each individual Ik able to think for himself. Only as he is able to do this will he become a useful and happy citizen. Remember you arc today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Whatever your present environment may Ik, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your wisdom, and your ideals. Graduates of today will determine through their solution of the problems they face what the world will be tomorrow. — Wilfred L. McGimpscy C93 PRINCIPAL NORMAN A.
