. Ecdlitorriiaill Carlyle says, in Sarlor Rvxarlus, For the first few years of our terrestrial Apprenticeship, we have not much work to dog but, boarded and lodged gratis, are set down mostly to look about us over the workshop, and see others work, till we have understood the tools a little, and can handle this and that. This is just what we are doing now, and the first few years of which he speaks are those which we spend in preparatory school and col- lege. Truly, this is the idyllic period of life. Lofty ideals and unconventional emotions till our minds, and ceaseless rounds of pleasure actuate our bodies. It is with the earlier part of this Apprentice- ship with which we are now in contact, and if we are to have anything to look back upon when we are handling this and that, we must act constantly during the years at Riverview that are left to us. Now, there are two different kinds of deeds which leave pleasant memories, though all memories are of past accomplish- ments. There is the useful deed, the doing of which marks some advance in wisdom-in what is sometimes styled mental caliber. Then there is the pleasureable deed, the vindication of athletic ability, the formation of lasting friend- ships, the doing of anything that gratifies the longing for the bizzarre. If you are wise, and desire to cherish the thoughts of this school and of what you did here, do things here that will stay in your memory. There are many, many ways to fill your preparatory school days full of things which it will be pleasant to remember. To become in- terested in the athletic activities gives gratifica- tion, but there are many things worth while be- sides athletics. There are the school paper, the year book, and the military training, each of which offers a way for advancement. There are temporary and lasting friendships to be formed, books to be read, problems to be overcome, and so on. Remember, you are being boarded and lodged gratis now, and when you are fighting for your own support, all the glamour will fade out of your life, to leave only the recollections of wha! you arf doing now to color an otherwise barren existence. Realize this today, for to- morrow will be too late, and you will be sorry.
