Editorial HALLS OF LEARNING At first you may think Halls of Learning refers only to school build- ings, schoolrooms, colleges, and institutions of higher learning. However, you soon discover that education is the sum total of all life ' s experiences. Some knowledge you have undoubtedly acquired during your school days, but all of you now are on the threshold of a vast schoolroom of life ' s experience where you will continue to learn. V. : hy acquire knowledge? To what end do you propose to use this wisdom? Whoever attains knowledge but does not put it to use for his own good and for the good of mankind is like a man who ploughs his garden plot but sows no seed. It is, therefore, important that you make use of all of the Halls of Learning for the betterment of the world in which you are about to take an active part. If you were asked why you have continued in school beyond the time re- quired by our state law you would no doubt answer, To get an Education . That, of course, is correct, but duty to yourself and to your fellowmen de- mands that you go further in your statement and explain what you propose to do with your education. When you stop to consider that those who plot evil are also educated, you will realize that the importa nt thing is to use your ed- ucation, your knowledge, and the power that it places at your disposal, on the side of right, justice, and truth. Never was there greater need for honest, straightforward thought and action. If you are tempted to question what, you, one person among the millions in our nation, can do, remember that the most imposing product of the build- ers skill rests upon a foundation of individual blocks of granite. So, the structure of our society and the world which we hope will eventually emerge from the present chaos and strife well depend upon the integrity of the indi- vidual citizen, namely; YOU. All best wishes and success go with you as you end your school days in Sheffield. Albert Trocchi
