D the Claus 0 ifzeteen Twemyf-seven URING the past four years, each of you has been diligently preparing for her vocation, but has been giving very little thought, I am sure, to her avocation. , Indeed, most of you, I suspect, have no avocations, no special forms of recrea- tion in which you are interested, so intensely interested, that you devote study or practice to making yourselves proficient above the average. If the time actually spent at work be subtracted from the day, a surprisingly large remainder is left. Most of us fail to get the greatest possible good out of these free hours, because we have no particular kind of pleasure for which we plan ahead. We more often turn to the trivial occupations which the moment offers and thus fritter away our spare time. Then, in retrospect, we have no outstanding memories, and We come to believe that we have had no free time whatever. Once we are provided with an avocation, however, every free moment can be filled with real pleasure in the practice of our hobby, or in the planning for it. Moreover, a high degree of proficiency in any particular field is in itself a source of satisfaction to even the most modest of us. So I beg of you, now that you are prepared to assume the serious duties of life, do not fail to give thought to making the most of the opportunities for enjoyment before you, for as Colonel Roosevelt has put it, The joy of life and the duty of life are companions and complements to each other.
