Principal Life is consianily offering us choices, and we musi' learn 'l'o choose wisely and noi' carelessly. Too many iimes we hear +his lamenf, I did noi' +hink. Take Time To Think. Know yourself. Form 'ihe habif of gefling away, frequenfly, from 'lhe mad- ding crowd-from all dis'l'rac+ions-and commune wi+h yourself. Review your pash see your preseni' as ii really is: plan your fufure as you would have i+: sacrifice fhe alluring superficialifies of fhe preseni for +he subsfaniial, desirable rewards of i'he fufure. Build your life on +hinking, noi' on guessing. We wish you 1'he success which you de- sire aind for which you s'l'rive. WILLARD E. ACKLEY. Page 'lwelve
