Message to Youth! AWAY BACK IN THE DIM DAWN OF HISTQRY, it Says in the book of Genesis that Enoch walked with God: and he was not: for God took him. Professor Schneider in his great book, The Puritan Mind, calls attention to the fact that the Puritans were not seeking something for themselves but but were seeking to build the Commonwealth of God. I think we realize that if we get anything founded that shall be remotely like the Commonwealth of God, we shall have to have a sense of righteousness and a sense that we labor not alone in separate futility but in cooperation with God for a better social order and juster human relationships. And so, the hopeful thing I see in the world today is that there is a grow- ing sense in peoples minds of the reality of God as a contemporary. If you want to walk with God, find out where the growing edge of civi- lization is! Find out where the unsolved problems are! Find out where God is trying to get something done for the welfare of humanity. And there, at that point, plunge in and you will know God as Enoch and Micah knew him and as the two on the Emmaus Road knew Him. H, O. DIETRICH. DR. H, O. DIETRICH Superintendent

MISS EMMA E. CHRISTIAN Principal To the Graduates! My congratulations to you upon this happy occasion! May the ex- periences of high school life help each one to discover the path of wisdom for himself, With the brief introduction to the tools of scholarship which you have received in your course at Eisenhower High School may you conf tinue your studies through the years of a busy life. Une becomes an educated person by virtue of patient study, quiet meditation, intellectual courage, and a life devoted to the discovery and service of truth. Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to work and to play and to look up at the stars. Be satisfied with your possessions but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them. Such ambition will breed in you temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the idle never know. May you despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and fear nothing except cowardice. You have my earnest wish for success in your work. Greet each day with reverence for the opportunity it contains and approach the night with the joy that comes from work well done. Sincerely, EMMA E.
