T R I V I N G E R V I N G . . . A C R I F I C I N G Modern education consists mainly ol three prime requisites, namely: scholastic, athletic and social ac- tivities. To be content with anything but supreme etlort in all ol these Fields, is not attaining the complete bene- Fits of the period ol our lives dedicated to education. ln these trying times, when the whole world seems on the verge ol collapse, it is our profound duty to ourselves and our beloved country, to strive, to the extent ol our ability, towards fulfilling the alorenamed requirements with this point of view uppermost in our minds:- We serve our country by achieving scholastic superior- ity, lor intelligent and highly slcilled minds are the deadliest weapons of combat. We serve our country by achieving athletic superiority, lor a sound and well trained body is the only possible answer to the devioting and ever-increasing demands ol this highly accelerated existence, sometimes called modern living. The third requirement in formation but not in impor- tance, is social action. It can well be defined as the molding of the many characteristics gleaned from our scholastic and athletic achievements, into the Finished product, possessing the composure and social Finesse to use what we have gained to the utmost advantage. I-loving now arrived at our goal, we Find that it is no simple task, but one which demands all the Facilities at our command. Knowing this goal, we Find that it can be achieved only by genuine striving, serving, and sacrificing toward meeting and conquering the future through our education. Thomas Kummerer.
