J .7 M ll. . L 4 - -- MJ is as The future is now-or so it seems, so quickly do changes occur, Underclassmen, novices in the laboratory of learning today, plan for the almost immediate adult tomorrow. Em- ploying new ideas and relying on the lead- ership off the faculty, they are an important part of school activities and give impetus to them, at the same time creating a new world for themselves. There is no substitute for performance and through the study of prescribed courses the student's curiosity is aroused and his intellect stimulated. He makes good use of the instruments of learning, his classroom training and any individual outside proiects in which he successfully utilizes the theo- retical principles learned. Encouraged by his teachers to know, to reason and to spec- ulate, he goes forward, spurred on by that natural incentive, the desire for success here and in eternity. t 1
