Four years of high school, coupled with elementary education, must make - and have made - the senior ready to face his world and fulfill his lifeis purpose. The result of this endeavor is known beforehand. The establislnnent of that goal, however, is the demonstration of the fulfill- ment of the action which has as its basis a divine purpose. The senior started his life as a naked, mewling, sav- age, helpless being. At the moment of his entrance into life, his purpose had been established and work on him was begun. As a child of human parents he was trained in the ways of social, moral and beneficial life. As the child of Catholic parents, however, he was raised in the light of a Cod-given teaching and was taught to love, ig ,rf ,.. If , .f wave' know and serve for the purpose of Goodness. His intro- duction to formal education came as he was first shown the ultimate goal in his life. From that came twelve long years of dull and exciting, happy and unfortunate, pleas- ant and foreboding days in which he was led, cajoled, taught, threatened, punished and chided. He was shown new worlds of thought and life. Time moved on and through it all, one quantity was paramount in his life: use life to know Cod. His teachers were with him every step of the way. They knew the work involved, they also knew the result. Finally he was a Senior, reared in the ways of Divine Providence. The world was his. He had become the fruit of twelve years of labor. His public life was next to see him prove and be worthy of it.
