, , i ' ' . g X Xjfx X i fgfzflllf The Door of Opportunity G To membeis off the Class of 1948: Open doors have a way of inviting people to enter. They seem to beckon. Sometimes it is a question Whether they were left open on pur- pose, or carelessly left to settle their own problem either closing of them- selves or remaining open for those who are interested. The open door has been a by-word in education, politics, history and international affairs for ages. So far as you are concerned the doors of op- portunity in education have been held open for you by the laws regarding public education, and also by the interest of your parents and that fof the com- munity in which you live. Four years ago you passed through the last of the free open doors to an education. Today, at graduation, you are very nearly on your own. What a privilege you have had! What an advantage has been presented to you! Many young people in the world today have been denied this priceless gift. Even in our country, the forces of necessity and 'wafnt have prevented many from having this opportunity. How well you have taken advantage of the education provided, only you can tell. What you have gained from this ed- ucation is lmore im-portant than ever before, because the world revolves on the level of educatiorn, which needs to be on a higher plane than at any pre- vious time in our history. Continued education at the college level depends upon your ability to gain admission. It is not free any more, and that fact li-mits the number who may attend. But the doior never closes if you have enough determination to get there. Ambitious can be realized if the urge is sufficiently great. The doors of opportunity are never crlose-d to thfose who will not give up. College doors are inviting but are not the only means to an opportu- nity. The world never ceases to provide an open door in every field of en- deavor for those Who are on the alert. Many a. successful' man today has met and mastered his problems in the field of work alone. ' Keep the door open! FRANK W. MAYO. C177
