The Platform
Living For Others
To stimulate friendly and con
structive cooperation between stu
dents and faculty.
To inspire Christian fellowship.
To motivate an interest in high
er schlastic ability and extra cur-
ricula-activities.
To set up ideals that will be
goals for our future teachers.
Today and Tomorrow
Today as Seniors and members
of the graduating class we have
made footprints on the sand. We
have either made crooked prints
that all feet will not fit or we
have those eternal prints that will
lead to the goal that every mem
ber of our class expects to at
tain.
Does it make any difference to
our race what kind of prints we
are making on the sand of time?
Tomorrow, as we discern those
who have itserted their feet into
our footprints shall we see our
qualities causing a stronger race?
Will there be a clearer conception
of our ideals ? Our everyday
thoughts, therefore formation and
production into our action should
be living monuments of tomorrow.
Our March is not over, how
ever. Then we are still making
footprints. We must still estab
lish ourselves as patterns just as
Ernest in Hawthorne’s story of
the “Great Stone Face” studied
the face and so developed into that
divine character of resemblance
to the great stone face. So we as
teachers of our Negro children and
race of tomorrow are being stud
ied and followed.
Are we being imitated? What
kind of footprints have we left?
—Frank M. Bradley.
For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself, for
whether we live, we live unto the
Lord; and whether we die, we die
unto the Lord: whether we live
therefore, or die, we are the
Lord’s.—Romans 14:7,8.
Life is so entwined that no in
dividual, race, nation, or a class
of people can successfully exist
without relationship, socially, po
litically or commercially with his
fellow man. If we live at all, we
must live for others. He who would
be great must be the servant of
all. The greatest individual is that
individual who is serving the
greatest number of people in the
greatest number of ways, both
great and small, high and low, the
wealthy and the poor. Let us live
the abundant life,—J. T. Doles.
DISCOVERY
As a light that beams from a for
est shrine
To cheer the pilgrim on his way;
As a hope that burns.
In the heart of man and spurns
All hardship, trial, dismay;
As the' warmth of sunshine after
rain
Gives strength of life to growing
grain;
As the rosy dawn of a bright, new,
day,
Radiant above the horizon line.
So is the cheer in my heart today
Lifting my soul to heights un
known;
For a fine new friendship I have
found.
The kind that springs from depth
of ground.
That sparkles with a light un
shown
Before, here once ’twas night
And probably wrong was right—
How grand to know that one may
own
A friend—a priceless piece of hu
man clay.—Leslie Truesdell.
The child enjoys its childish
pleasures and dislikes to give
them up. If compelled to abandon
them before it is ready, it may
react with a morbid disgust and
develop neuroses.—Dr. S. Blanton,
child psychologist of Cornell Uni
versity.
