t HIGHWAY -795 ROUTE OF LIFE We are starting along a new highway-new drivers, we. Experience?-A some as an observant passenger and now and then as a driver on a side road, but never on the main road alone. . We are startled, but not fully stunned. Our tense hands grip the steering wheel. We are stiff, frozen. Coordination seems unknown to our movements. An almost impenetrable fog has rolled in upon and enveloped us. Staring ahead our eyes focus upon what seems to be a marker, perhaps here is some- thing we can rely upon. But no-it is only a billboard with its gaudy colors and distracting advertisement. We must beware of the chuck holes of disunity, ruts of self-satisfaction, hills of disillusion, and detours of ignorance and despair. The fog, which once clung to us, is now slowly lifting. We are able to determine the dependable markers of cooperation, forethought, and humility. We have attained the .qualification of a skilled driver by our experience in our trial run with hills of uncertainty and curves of sharp practice. Remember your hills-so hard to climb-a moment of satisfaction and then a swift descent on the opposite side. So intriguing in that apex moment that those who have overcome the first incline will ever be attempting and accom- plishing others. No longer frightened, we have become experienced drivers, aware that success does not follow a straight road and ever conscious of the white line of hope stretching before us. 5
