4 a a a The Garnet and White Strive to Obtain in the Future LIKE the farmer who reaps a plentiful supply of that which he sowed in the past, so we should reap an abundance of knowledge and understanding from this school that has come to mean so much to us. We owe it to our parents, teachers, and friends, as well as to ourselves, to prove that our efforts have not been fruitless in the search for a broader and clearer outlook on the things that we must face in life. One little yet very significant word looms before us the word. Success. It is, in a sense, the very thing for which we all consciously or unconsciously strive. I he ability to go forth in even, progressive strides depends on our past record in our Alma Mater. It is these surroundings, the encouragement and urging of our friends and teachers that instill within us that little spark of determination to keep going on and on toward a looked-for, yet unknown goal. Perhaps one of the greatest things a school could do would be to turn out into the world a group of optimists who fear nothing and conquer all. It is the call of adventure that brings forth a large amount of hidden talent. We leave our halls of learning, many of us, with not the slightest idea as to our future. Then where and how do we all find an outlet for the knowledge that we have so carefully absorbed during the last three years of our school life? Somehow we all become a cog in the great wheel of life and do our parts each day in making this world a happy one. Some of us fall accidentally into work that is best suited for us; others trudge along, groping as though in the dark and waiting for the light of opportunity to shine into our lives. But these obstacles are to be expected in life; and, if we are strong enough and wise enough, we shall meet them unflinchingly. These are lessons that are stamped upon our minds while in the schools of learning, though, to apply them, we must step into a much larger and far more difficult school, called Life. It is there that we must prove our worth, either by actions or by words. The demands of such an institution are great, and the thanks little; but we get something in return: experience, happiness and friends; these mean everything in life. outh owes so much. We are indebted to so many people. We may pay one debt in full, however, if we offer thanks to the school that has established the founda- tion upon which we are to build our futures. If we can truthfully feel grateful to our Alma Mater, then we shall have little to regret when we have left her portals. Kathryn Myers, '30.
