Director of Trades-Technical Division JAMES A. HORTON The story is told of a bishop in England who was visiting with a business acquaintance. In the course of the conversation the business man turned to the bishop and asked “If you should die today, what do you think the Lord would say to you?” The bishop thought for a moment and then replied, I think He would ask me this. ‘What have you made of it? At this point in the school year it is only natural for each of us to look back in retrospect and to ask ourself, “what have I made of the past year?” Have each of us approached our daily tasks with a feeling of compulsion or have we experienced a sense of satisfaction in tackling and completing each task? Have each of us done more work and better work than we had to do. or did we do just enough to get by? If your school work and other tasks seemed to you to be a drudgery, chances arc that you did only enough to get by. The person who does only as much as he has to, turns his job into a prison. Compulsion hangs over every move that he makes. Everything he docs he does only because he is forced to do it. Have we gone home each evening tired physically and spiritually or have we gone home with a feeling of satisfaction because our jobs have been well done.

Registrar, Director of Business School W. M. NORPGAAKD As I write this statement. 1 am in the midst of planning a trip to Los Angeles, California, to attend the National Convention of Registrars and Admissions officers. While there I shall attend two gatherings of SSS alumni—one at Los Angeles, the other at Oakland. Our Alumni Secretary has provided me with the names of some 200 alumni who have settled in the State of California. As I look over those names, I am amazed and impressed with the success that these people have achieved since graduation. One, Ralph Mccklenbcrg, who has made a tremendous success in the wholesale auto parts business, has invited us to have the Los Angeles meeting in his home. It will easily accommodate 100 people. The two people who arc heading up the Oakland meeting arc men who were very successful in their chosen occupation—George Reeder in the wholesale grocery business and John Maloney in the heavy machinery business. One could go on and name hundreds of Science alumni to whom one can point with pride, people who received their initial training at the college that you now attend or from which you arc now graduating. These young men and young women added initiative, foresight, hard work, skill, and planning to their training. The result was personal success, wealth, and community prestige. You, too, have a similar opportunity. Will we be able to praise your accomplishments ten or twenty years hence? I certainly wish you every success.
