FAMILY AmilM In a democratic institution as in democratic countries, the executive finds his chief source of power in the faith and respect that his subjects have for him and not in the strength of his ofhcial position alone. Dr. Young, always eager to know the student viewpoint, makes the students eager to cooperate with him in maintaining the stand¬ ard of Christian education that is Park’s. Mrs. Young the students know as a quiet, charming person who shares willingly with any Park student the wisdom and insight gained through care for a family of her own. Bill Junior, a quiet voiced, witty philosopher is a likeable fellow student, and Bob and Betty, too, will be popular with the student body of their day as their many Parkville friends testify.

DR. WILLIAM LIIDSAY YOLID Life is a highway upon which we may parade to the music of our own choosing. The troubled times in which we live leave us to march either to the dirge-like cadence of military drums, or to the music of our dreams of a better day. We shall keep step with an almost universal movement of destruc¬ tion or we shall dare to move our feet in rhythm with the creative and prophetic souls who have gallantly sacrificed for an improved order of life. Which shall it be—drums or dreams, thi ngs as they are or as they ought to be? The choice before students entering into adulthood in the fateful forties is no easy one to make. My hope is that the music of your dreams will waft you above the din and strife of the present to a life of significant achievement. Drums or Dreams

The only contact that we had with the Board mem¬ bers was to hear references to them occasionally and to see them as very distinguished looking gen¬ tlemen at some formal school function. Not so since Park’s recent drive for the Stabiliza¬ tion Fund. Student and Trustee worked together, united by their common interest in their school. Park students became more vividly aware of these great personalities whose hearts are wrapped up in maintaining the welfare of the college. To Homer B. Mann, who retired last fall from the presidency of the Board is due a vote of sincere gratitude for the r 181
