"Graduation will soon be here and with it will come the awful inevitability of facing the future. Young men and women will go to work, or go somewhere and apply for it. They will probably be afraid of economic failure and take the very first thing that offers, even tho it may have a blind alley. I call to mind a newspaper clipping which my Aunt Emma Roach sent me. It quotedthe president of Prince ton. Harold M. Dodds. as say. ing: If you are to make any thing of yourselves, you must be willing to face the risks of inse curity. The man who keeps his eyes fixed on security inevitably becomes enmeshed in the tenta cles of the status Quo. Unquote. I thought it very true and I agree with the president of Princeton. It is somewhat dis concerting to find young people accepting dullness as inevitable at the very time they should go around hitching wagons to stars. It is disconcerting to see them go around thinking that it is bet ter to live a dull, safe life than to live dangerously. Too many people are concerned with the fetish of security." "Just the same," we pointed out "A bird In the hand is worth two tn the bush. If a person has to take a measley one hundred week on graduation, he has to, that's all." "How much?" "So I meant fifteen a week," we said crossly, "it still goes. You gotta have something that brings in the potatoes, even if it is just checking the mistakes other peo ple make in checking the pnistakes of other people. Which just goes to prove my point" said the roach, "lou are f swathed around with the phii osonhv of security that you are blind to everything else." "Is that so? Just look at these ears. See how they stick out? They got that way from sitting at the door listening for opportunity to knock. "Oh, well, I didn't mean just wishing for something better. I meant actually doing something with a goal in view. "Very well," we agreed. "We shall keep your point well in mind but at the moment something more interesting occupies our time." Grudgingly the cockroach de parted and left us to the perform ance of a more interesting task that of sleeping and wishing exams were over so we didnt have to worry about them.
