VOYAGE INTO SUCCESS Education is the initial preparation of the voyage of life. As on any voyage, certain preparations must be made to insure a successful journey. Hoisting the cargo aboard, our instructors must fill the hold of our ship with supplies, the education offered to us by our teachers. The ship symbolizes the initiative we must have to attain our goals. The sea is the oppressive element of life, the everlasting struggle against the billows of failure, the waves of frustration. If improperly equipped, the ship may falter and be swamped by the demands of society. Insecurely supplied with knowledge, the voyage may end short of its final destination, the attainment of its long-range goals. But what are these goals? For some, the continuation of higher education serves as their objective. For others affluence and position are of immediate importance The islands represent these goals. The voyage beyond the normal realm of achievement requires a temporary lay- over at these islands. This stop requires a replenishment of our supplies to carry us to more distant lands, more satisfying levels of achievement. The teachers, in a sense, are the carriers of knowledge. They will- ingly and devotedly cram the holds of our ships with vital knowledge. If we cooperate with them, the hold of our ship bulges, plentiful with knowledge, assuring us of a successful voyage. If we oppose them, we effect our own failure. Our guidance counselors help us chart our voyage. Pointing us in the proper direction, they add to our goals the value of achievement. Supplying us with priceless books, the librarians insure a vast supply of learning and expand our horizons. As we cast off toward uncharted seas, seeking the flickering beacon of tomor- row, we cast one lingering look back and utter one final farewell.
