■■ l THE PIERIAN for 19 3 4 } - TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1934 PEOPLE of my age have always talked to people of your age about the Good Old Times of their youth. Am I only under the same delusion now? Surely not; this present seems to be generally recognized as a bad time by people of all ages. You have scarcely known any other kind of time. I do assure you that the world can be gayer, happier, and easier to live in than it is now. You have even heard it said that you are growing up into an economic system in which you are not needed. Do not believe that for a moment. So long as many lives lack the comforts and the dignity that could be furnished to all, scarcity of useful work cannot be the real problem. The problem now seems to be one of paying the workman. It will be solved. Perhaps even one of you will be the Very Great Person who will find the short cut we all look for. The sad plight into which the world has fallen must be to you a chal- le nge, not a discouragement nor an excuse for inaction. It is your chance to set up something better than prosperity; that is, order, justice, and a fair oppor- tunity for all. Whatever other qualities your fast-changing times are going to demand, clear and informed thinking is certainly needed. And so is courage. If you have enough of what is needed, you can make your part of the world so much better that you can yourselves make not Good Old Times, but Good New Times for everyone. Anna Bradbury. LIFE is a succession of events. The ability to interpret these events in the light of one ' s experience and to capitalize upon them for future construc- tive use, is one of the marks of the successful life. The life of the student is especially full of events. The past has handed him a chain of events together with its factual interpretation. School is primarily the place to utilize these facts and scale them to life situations. The mark of the successful man or woman is not necessarily in the accumulation of worldly goods, but more necessarily in the proper social, spiritual, economic, and emotional adjustment of his life to produce both individual and group harmony. My earnest hope is that your school experience will fit you to take your place calmly, willingly, and energetically in the ever-changing social and eco- nomic world of today and of the future. Mr. Farmer. A word to the wise is useless.
