Comomencement.... Youth is always a time of idealism, a time when great hopes and great plans are being made. Union is graduating another class, a class who, like many of their predecessors, no doubt, is intent on going out, and conquering the world with its zeal and setting it afire with its message. It would be too bad if they did not have high hopes and aspirations. Commencement! Through countless years classes have re- ceived diplomas and school years have broken up. Friends are scattered to the ends of the earth. This year's class has meant much to this school, and their departure will be a loss to the student body, but they must go on to larger fields and others must take their place of responsibility. To the seniors we bid adieu and wish them the best of suc- cess in their new spheres. To the rest of the students, good-bye, and we'll see you all next fall. E. D. Retu" mtoYeligion.... "The greatest and most authentic textbook on personality is still the Bible, and the discoveries which psychologists have made tend to confirm rather than contradict the codification of personality found there." The noted psychologist, Dr. Henry C. Link, makes this state- ment in his book, The Return to Religion. He also reports that one of the findings of a project in which ten thousand people were given psychological tests was that, ". . .the individuals who believed in religion or attended a church had significantly better personalities than those who did not." Jesus Christ, our example, is the perfect example of a well- developed personality. He was a successful personality because He lived the principles of the Bible, the principles He taught, in His own life. Are you, my friend, taking advantage of this "textbook" to develop your personality? It is written by One who under- stands man's nature far better than man has been able to dis- cover it for himself. Go to the "original" if you would live fully. Read and ponder. M.

MAKERS OF HISTORY By John Boyd Nine months from us have slipped away; for some They flew as eagles coursing down the sky. Or slowly passed as valiant hopes may die, But never more to us these months will come. These months are history now that stands an age. Whose pages some may read with pride and joy While some the lasting record may annoy; But not one deed will fade from any page. The opportunity of future lies Before us,—yes, in days, in weeks and years That everyone may fill with joys or tears Our lives will he revealed without disguise. Though pages of the past may cause regret, The future gives a chance to triumph yet. Commencement ( Continued from page 1.) "Service - Cadman Male Chorus Conferring of Degrees E. E. Cossentine Benediction N. C. Wilson Recessional Music Recital At 9:00 o'clock Saturday eve- ning, May 22, the music depart- ment will present the final pro- 4r am of the year in the chapel. The program is as follows: Two Pianos—"Claisir D'Amour" Martini Loretta Loewen and Instructor Robert Nomi It isn't queer American customs, or the attitude of Americans toward those not born in the United States, or the fact that he's had to move around from pillar to post since he came to this country that has impressed Robert Nomi most. He is very deeply moved by the eratic climate, and he isn't moved with joy. Robert lived for sixteen years in a suburb of Hono- lulu which was situated between a high cliff and the beautiful ocean. Robert has been at Union only one winter—just long enough to complete his work for a major in religion and a minor in history. This summer he is going to the Rivers Relocation Center in Ari- zona as a ministerial intern. Robert likes to go swimming and to read good books. He especially likes books which deal with the conformity between Biblical and secular history. 'Before long he hopes to add at least two dozen volumes to his present library. Ernest Rogers Union College, "Peanut Hill", is the best place in the world for Ernest Rogers. He is so fond of peanut butter that he says he spends almost all of his change for it. Then if he can find some graham crackers to spread it on he is happy. Before coming to Union two years ago Ernest attended Oak- wood Junior College, Huntsville, Alabama. While in attendance at Union he has taken a major in re- ligion and a minor in the usual thing. He is one of the three in the senior class who are graduating with honors. Ernest is one of the power house crew who are responsible for keep- ing us warm or cold. His one un- filled ambition is to give 'Miss Lea and the girls in the registrar's of- fice enough heat in' the winter. Harold Roll One of the most regular visitors at the personnel office is Harold Roll, tall, dark-complexioned, and a resident of St. Louis. No. he Trumpet Two Pianos—"Air in D Major" Bach Lillian Mantz and Joyce Lyon Voice—"Pirates Dreams" Huerter Olga Aaby Two Pianos—"March of the Toys" Herbert Vivian Meyers and Audra Wood Voice—"The Two Grenadiers" Schumann Lawrence Rahn Two Pianos—"Spanish Dance" Harriette Sherard and Instructor Voice—"Rain" Curran Annalee Lyon Two Pianos—"March" (Pomp and Circumstance) Elgar Irene Stevens and Instructor doesn't have to go there, it's just his hobby to drop around and chat with the secretary and the innum- erable other seniors who are always there. Harold, as physics lab assistant, is largely responsible for the erie noises and vibration which gives the office workers the creeps on Sunday mornings. As a hobby he likes to study out the corelation be- tween properties in the physics world and the attributes of- a spiri- tual life, and make illustrations of these to us in sermons. There is one thing which irks Harold--people with arrogant at- titudes. For two summers Harold can- vassed in Wyoming. He rode horse back part of the time and enjoyed it a lot. While he doesn't prefer to make canvassing his profession, he does like to deal with books; he is taking a position with the Omaha branch of the Pacific Press Publishing Association. Charles Yarnashiro There's at least one person in the senior class who can almost do two things at once. Charles Yama- shiro is taking class work at the University of Nebraska besides at- tending Union, He is majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. Next winter, if he does not go to Chicago to study medicine, he is going to continue his p.g. work at the University of Nebraska. When Charles came to the states four years ago, he was im- pressed by the seemingly extreme distances. His home is in Kaneohe, Hawaii, on an island only 129 miles in circumference. Five miles had always seemed a long way to him, and when he heard class- mates at Pacific Union College say they lived several hundred miles away he could scarcely comprehend it. Now that he has become adjust- ed to travelling, Charles is amazed at the climate. At his home the mean temperature is 75O; he is not in love with the shifting, cold. dusty Nebraska winds.
