Principal? Message l Mr. Van Vuren TO THE GRADUATES It is not strange that you have chosen as the theme of the Lance the subject of ad- venture. Bold and courageous deeds have their special appeal to young minds. As a matter of fact, the love Foradventure is not limited to a certain age nor to any particular place. It is universal even as life itself. The blind Greek poet, Homer, has preserved for all time a record of theadventures of Ulysses in The Iliad and the Odyssey , read and enioyed by young and old alike. And who has not read and chuckled over the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckle- berry Finn? A book which is full of unusual but real adventure, althoughallegorically portrayed, is Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. In this book the hero is Christian, who faces real dan- gers on his iourney to the City of God. His courage, too, is unusual but real, born of a faith and trust in God and His Word. The apostle Paul experienced life as essentially a fight, not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers of evil. There never was a dull moment in his life, and at the end of it he could say, l have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith. Ripon Christian High has sought to help you see life as Paul saw it, as God sees it. May you Find your most satisfying adventure in faithful service as a soldier in the army of God. That is our parting hope and prayer For you, class of '53.
