~Ea'l- Jr'"'~1..hn1an Unless rhi11gs have changed drastically, you are currently getting more .tdvice than you can possibly use 1 It seems that everyone-from Great-aunt H an nah to the girl-next door knows what's best for you. But you have some ideas of your own. l know, because I had some too, and they were very definite. One of them was often expressed in the flat declaration "l will never teach, so l want no part of an education course!" To those of you who share my undergraduate determination, ma y I offer one small suggestion' Think over an axiom l'm sure you've heard by now: "Never affirm, seldom deny, always distinguish." You can make positive plans for your career, as T once did. Your plans ma y be completely good, bas-ed on sound thinking, and energized by admirable determination. There's just o ne flaw: You can't see inro rhc years following graduation! That's wh::re the "d istinguishing" enters. l f ci rcumsta nces :ue completely favor.tble, your plans will probably work beautifully. But how often, eve n in your past life, have circumstances been so perfectly attuned to your desires' Wha tever enters your life-wonderful things like marriage, of tragic things like a death or serious family illttess- you musr be prepared for it. And a rigid- -perhaps the word is "selfish ¡'-plan is not a n adequate preparation. Teaching, with its prerequlS!te education courses, is not the on ly solution, of course. But it is an excellent one. Quite s imply, teaching can be challenging, stimulating, and just plain fun - or it can be utter drudgery. But so can :tdverr ising, chem ica l research, or soc ia l work. \'V'h atever your choice--a nd you have every right to make your own choice-why not follow o ne of the suggestions you've been g iven? T a ke one or two educat ion courses, at least in your four years at college. Perhaps you'll neve r need them. But they are a wonderful "insuratKe" for which , incidenrally, you pay a high price if you wait unril afte r graduation. To all of you who are beginning your college life at Salve Regina and to those who may be upperclassmen, may I wish every success. To say that I envy you would not be true because r am very happy in my chosen state iu life. Bm I can, in complete houesty, say that I envy your opportu tttty w prepare more adequately for whatever the years after graduation may bring. \XI i rh every good wish for your success and happiness at Salve R egina and beyond, I am Sincerely yours, (;\Irs. ) Carol Ctnnon Cronin '58

Thoughts For November .. 1t seems that nu matter wh at happens, man is always subject ro death and taxes. The latter IS quire less¡e ned wh en the scope o f the former is contemplated. "Man was created ru know, to love, and to serve God in this life, so that he might be happy with him in the next", this we all lea rn ed before we rea li zed rhe thought content of such profound language. Our life h ere on this earth is qui te passing in nature when held up against the timeless ete rnity o f fore ver. We ar-e here at Salve R eg ina to lea rn how to know, how to comprehend G od and the best ways of serv ing Him . 1.ove is someth ing that we mus t do o n our ow n ; we each must love Him in our own degree. 13ut what after all this' \XIhat happens at the moment that our life has rerminat::cP That is the time that we fa ce our Maker, and account for each minute that we have spent here. God is merciful, but H e is a just God. \'V' e will be rewarded, and we will be punished for our wrong doings. For we will not a rrive in heaven wirh a spot on us. Th-::re is a place ca ll ed purgarory. lf we stop .tnd think , we al l must know someone that cou ld be in purgatory . November .is che month of the H o ly Souls,- the Hol y souls that await our prayers to reach hea ven. They ca nnot he! p themselves, ir iJ up to us. here. Each day during November try to say just one little prayer for a sou l in purgatory, you may never fully know the truely charitable deed that yo u have taken part in.
