We should look to Christ for guidance, and ask Him to make our path clear before us. When we accept His guidance we will realize that whatever we do, it should be done to the glory of God, and that we should dedi- cate every phase of our life to Gocl. The theme for our Annual shows us looking to the LIGHT, and dedicating our activities to that LIGHT, until we have consecrated our whole life to God. 425 3 gf? 35 53 555 is?

Recognizing the responsibility in their future role as educators, students have organized a Future Teachers' Club directed competently by Mr. Joling. By going to the grade school, many of the girls get an insight into the classroom problems which teachers are likely to encounter. Observe and learn! This may well have been the motto of the Future Nurses Club. New insight was developed through the media of films, field trips, and professional speakers. Since the leaders, Mrs. Steenwyk, Mrs. Simon Workman, Jr., and Mrs. John Workman, are nurses themselves, the future Florence Night- ingales were introduced to nursing as an interesting career.
