Napanee--10 Building of Treasures for the Future This is the year of the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island and a Treasure Island it is, indeed. Man has collected there his triumphs of art, of medicine, of engineering, and of science in all its phases. We are prone to stand in awe and amazement at first before it all and then to take it for granted. Past generations have handed down to us all these marvelous achievements--their gift to us. VVe forget the szacrificeg life itself for some has gone into the treasures that are ours today. And where would We be without them? Since we are such debtors, since we owe so much to generations that are past, the obligations of our generation are the greater to contribute our part to the progression of civilization. Let us contribute with honor our slrare to the race. There is much left for us to do in the field of medicine, proper housing and living conditions for all people, intelligent use of our natural resources, and the achieving of a. proper balance of our responsibilities of employment and of leisure living. Probably the greatest of all things, Seniors, for your generation to achieve is the art of getting along together. Better relations and closer understanding between indie- viduals, groups, and classes within our own country, and between nations must be achieved. lt is a challenge to you of the younger generation no work these things through to their ultimate and happy conclusion.

The glory of man's inspiration and labo-r, exemplified in the beauty of the towlers, pyramids, and statues, as well as the scientific exhibits of Treasure Island, is impres- sive. Even more impressive is the challenge to youth for future contributions to this world of Wonder. Achievements which bring beauty, romance, and thrills to us who observe them bring an even greater satisfaction to those who have some part in their creation and portrayal. Prepare by thorough training, research, and hard work to let your inspira- tions guide you to worthy accomplishments. Zelma W isherd In a world so upset as ours today, there is paramount need for us all, as real citizens, to do our separate and united best to keep orderly and sane ourselves, our communities, and our great United States. Let us borrow from Treasure Island the ideas and ideals of order and harmony, of beauty and progress and k them function in our lives and in all our human relationships.
