WELLS HIGH SCHOOL 'Z5il.l'?Zl'l'5XL,i2,S.,,,lT'?iL A stems lege. To l957 It is time to think of tomorrow--tomorrow's hopes and realizations. To many people hopes and realizations are synonymous with Financial success, and such people generally have a realistic and sincere view- point, for is it not better to earn one's way in life and to provide for one's old age rather than depend upon governmental or charitable organizations. Of course, the answer is obvious, and such people should be commended unless they forget a few fundamental Christian principles. Sometimes, I wonder! Are we, as a nation, depending solely on the almighty dollar ? Are we looking for the 66-Sy W-SY? APG We working for the joy of Wcreating a better mouse trapn? Are we working for the joy of working with the intangible records? or, rather, do we Feel we must be paid for all that we do? We all realize that innumerable doctors save lives when no payment is possible, and that many lawyers defend the poor and the infirm. Services like these place those who perform them among the Immortals. And, if there is a life after death, as we all believe, God will reward such samaritans. So, 1957, my message is actually a very simple one. I urge you to remember that community service can never be measured by financial returns. Community service is of the spirit: it is Godlikey follows the lesson of WThe Golden HuleJ Therefore, 1957, remember to work to secure your futures, but likewise remember that there are many things in life which measured in dollars and cents. yr-ez 111.
