CDirector's essage OUNG people, in general, are not over-apprehensive g regarding the future. In the exuberance of health, in gt the fiery vigor of untested youth, they look on life as a bed of roses where they expect .to glide along, in happiness, to success without meeting with thorn or stumbling-block. Be not solicitous for the morrow is their motto and, in compliance with the letter of the law, neither do they sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns. And invariably, what a rude awakening is theirs! Wlien youth and vigor and bright hopes are gone, when pleasures and fruitful years are passed, when friends are now no more, they find themselves alone in the world with noth- ing to cheer them but the memory of their wasted lives. Needless to say, it is not our business, nor our policy to carp the golden visions of blissful youth, but when these visions are not guided by foresight, sanctioned by prudence and good judgment, it is our sane duty to look to the inevitable results. So, if there is a message that I may convey to you, through the medium of your annual publication, it is that you make your lives here a period of earnest preparation for the future, a period of striv- ing for the highest ideals of Catholic manhood. I pray you to re- member that knowledge is not the sole criterion by which the edu- cated man is judged, rather, it is knowledge that resolves itself into unselfish activity that forms the trade-mark of culture. It is such knowledge that must be the vindication of the education you have received. BROTHER JAMES, Direrfor, Sain! MKII'-j',S College H igb School. llll
