482 HN' GREETINGS To The Seniors MARY E. ROBERTS H llgll School Princzloal N DAYS like these when material standards rise and fall, when, without apparent reason and without appreciable warning, the whole economic structure of' an individual's little world topples to destruction, and the flimsy props of a false sense of security yield to the blows of blind Fortune, we must all reconstruct our ideas of relative values, reweigh our assets and liabilities, reshape our budgets,-in a phrase, readjust ourselves to the narrower confines of a more restricted sphere of activity. As we set about this difficult task, our first instinctive move- ment toward self-preservation is the making of a careful inventory of what remains to us that we can regard as stable, irreducible, to- be-counted-on. The farther we go in our survey, the more con- vinced we are that it is the intangible elements in our make-up that are least liable to diminution, destruction, or decay. A mind schooled, a nature seasoned, a philosophy of life tested and proved, a character stabilized by experience-these are the imperishable riches. Any student of Life, in balancing his ledger, will put on the credit side of the account education, knowledge, training, experi- ence, and the wisdom born of these. He will count as profit every circumstance that deepens his knowledge, widens his experience, and refines his character. May our Seniors, as they leave their school, take with them an abundance of those treasures that neither moth nor rust can corrupt, and that thieves cannot break through nor steal.

HOICE is a daily problem. It is not anything new, for as Milton points out in Paradire Lo.rl, Adam and Eve might choose the place where they were to live after they were sent forth from Eden. As we are graduating from high school we, too, have all the world before us and have a choice to make which is most important. The work that we are going to do the rest of our lives will probably be determined now. Since we may make either the right or wrong choice we must think seriously about this matter. We must consider our abilities and decide how we can best use whatever talents we may possess. Some may be choosing their life's work because they have a particular talent in a certain fieldg some may admire the work of another and wish to follow in his pathg others may Choose whatever they can find. Since we all have been placed here to perform some special piece of work, may our choice be the right one. If in a few years we find that we have chosen the wrong career, it will be hard to start all over again and build anew. May all in the Class of '55 choose wisely and so make a happy start toward purposeful living. PACE 10 THE N UTSHELL
