for Knowledge As one approaches maturity, learning takes on new meaning. The world of science, liter- ature, and the arts beckon, and the student follows cautiously through chemistry, English, literature, Latin and a hundred other academ- ic courses. The realization grows that there is so much to learn and so little time, for the more one studies, the more one discovers his ignorance. The serious student feels compel- led to know all that has preceded him, for the void of the future with its unlimited pos- sibilities stretches before him. Perhaps during these years it is enough to know how to learn . . . knowledge will come, for it is the be- ginning of understanding and true wisdom.

for Self-Expression There is that in us that seeks expression. Intangible, compelling, it must be realized. Some find release in art . . . paint and canvas combine to portray great happiness, gnawing anxiety, indescribable joy. Others lose them- selves in make-believe ... a bit of costuming, footlights, and a poignant imagination bring to life the foolishness of the Emperor, the solitude of Hamlet, or the pathos of Cyrano. A simple melody suffices for some as it bears them out of a mundane existence into the hall of dreams and beyond. Through art, dramatics, music—each is striving in his own way for expression of that spark of emotion that sets him apart from those around him.
