4 VOX EDITORIAL Graduation “Ye have not passed this way heretofore.” FTER four or more years together another group of Arts graduates leave the halls of Wesley College. One might make this a time of reflection upon what those years of college life and studies have meant for us, and might, as the mood drove us, write a eulogistic or disparaging comment on the worth of a uni¬ versity education. The look of the recent graduate is, however, forward rather than backward. Whether we have made full use of our college years or go out from the university poorer than when we entered it. having frittered away some of the most precious years of our life; whether we have missed the real aim of a university education and still have to learn how to think; whether we have just slipped through by the grace of the powers that be or graduate with honors—yet each of us, as the word ' ‘graduation” implies, takes now a new step. Before lies a fresh world, a life very different from any¬ thing we have experienced before. Even if we return to the home town and its activities, we will find that we are not the same beings who left it four years ago. How we shall live this new life, what we shall do with it or what it} will do to us, will depend much on how we have lived our college years. Yet not entirely, or despair only would front some of us. In the future lies too the opportunity to retrieve our mistakes. On Getting in Shape H HE absence of the laurels which accompany the winning of championships is felt keenly within our faculty this year. Some may account for this lack of success by saying that the goddess Luck chose not to hold toward us her golden sceptre—-others may suggest that we were outplayed, that we need to get into condi¬ tion, to develop more team play, and thus make our prowess effective. In any case, should the sceptre of Good Luck point our way during the coming season, it would be well to add the strength that comes from good playing to good luck, the two being necessary to regain our former high mark of achievement. The two competitions in the autumn into which we enter whole¬ heartedly are track and soccer. With a little extra effort both trophies may be won. The track captain is now laying plans to challenge, we hope successfully, the position so long held by the Meds. We can win if we but put forth the effort necessary for summer training. Last season the coveted Senior Soccer Shield left our halls after being here for four years. The Aggies won last year because they out¬ played us. We must put forth an extra effort this coming year to regain
