NO. 7 Appreciation tnat It took the time and work of him anrl Rio ^ we appreciate this opportunity to express publicly ^ur gratitude Sunday School Begins a New Year There are yet no blots against our names for the year 1931 veTr^^n bells ring out this y . One way to keep this record clean is to attpnr) q a oacK to the Hill with a new determination to enter into all thp work campus with a new interest. It is an eviden fic that our spiritual baing becomes weak without nourishment Let us go to Sunday school and get this nourishment Our Sunday school study courses are to be taught the first week m February. We hope to have two or three of the s^ate workers with us at that time. We hope every bora^d girllSn Sign up for one of these classes. One certainly will not be wast mg has time by attending. Every class in the Sunday school department worked hard last semester, and we are going to work harder this semester semester count by putting our whole self into Sunday school. " RETURNING Cease, iron fiend, your fierbe and lurid scream! And have I not enough of pain to bear Beside the mocking of your hiss and jeer The lurid belchings forth of fire and steam? A monstrous and malicious fiend you seem. Who puffing, screeching, hissing, hot and sear Has snatched me swiftly from this heavenly sphere And waked me rudely from a pleasant dream. Oh, was’t a dream — this sojourn brief and rare? Somehow 'tis hard to think that it was real ' Twas so much like — O let me, if I dare. Say' it was heaven, for this is how I feel For —hush! —I think I saw an angel there Who sealed my heart,.— till she shall brekk the seal: \ past can never be real again, its influences linger forever and place their soul on the future. Out of the store of wisdom accu mulated in the past and through the inspiration shining through the broken horizon of Another Year, may the success of the fu ture be made secure. I can only wish in all sincerity that the coming year may for each of you as bright, happy, and memorable as you have made the past for me. \ _f b The Staff Speaks Your Honor Again By the time you receive this edition of The Hilltop final examinations will again be just around the corner. An exa^ i thftWsir/"""'’'^^'”'' ^ portrayal on your part of' the things that you were supposed to have learned while study- thfs fiiltitnN^ examinations of this institution are simply a test of the knowledge that you have t(? from your various courses of study. You are supposed to be here with one primary purpose: to gather for yourself a clearer knowledge of the subjects that will be of aid to you in e pursuit of your life’s work. To prove yourself false to that ruthfulness not only to your professors and to the institution Methinks it unnecessary to call the attention of this student body to any such points of interest. However everv one IS capable of being tempted, and .should the occasion present Itself to you during the next few days, assert your mLhood and conquer any such desires. It will mean much to you to fail lather than to pass for something that you are not Students, always remember that .you have to live with your self, and that you would not care to live with anyone, or come in contact with anyone, who is not worthy of the highest and H person is capable of possessing—PERSONAL —J. N. J. The New Year In reality, there are but two tenses in the life of man—past and future The past is memory, whether satisfaction or vain regret; the future is hope, the only factor that makes possibilitv realized in any enterprise. In spite of what it may Lve been the past becomes but a guidance against the future and a source of wisdom voiced out of its experiences. The dawn of a New Year is the b.rth of a new dream and a stronger hope for its realization Hope is the most sacred and powerful message con- v.yed by the New Year. It is the only emotion that maLs the trials and disappointments of the past vanish before its powerful s-gnificance It is the strongest link between aspiration and acmevement. Therefore it is the sweetest realization of the New There is an indefinable sensation—a feeling close to gratitude which surrounds one in the event of a New Year. There is a glorious forgetfulness of past and a wondrous expectation of int miserable mistakes, all the mortify ing failures are forgotten and the spirit of man, young and s rong in regeneration, goes forth in quest of whatever may He veiLd within the untold mystery of the Coming Year. May the New Year be entered with sincere resolution and de- ermination to make it better and fuller than the old. Whatever It may bring will be made richer and better if it is received by a purposeful heart and brought about by earnest endeavor What- er IS attempted will be better accomplished because of the ex per.ences and associations of the past years; for. although the Faculty Advisor: John A.
