THANK YOU    

With this. the last issue of the "Spectator," the necessity of our contributions to these columns ceases. We beg no apology for them. the readers have already been kind; and any way why apologize for that which we have attempted to give our best. We use this means of thanking a loyal and able staff The interest In the task at hand, the cooperation. and the faithfulness to duty of each staff member have made this paper possible.

qualifications are sincerely appreciated by the editor. The efficiency of the business staff has been Invaluable. The support they secured from the advertisers of the City has been indespensible The work of the associ-ate editor has been outstanding and his qualifications as editor of the 1929-30 “Spectator" have been thoroughly proved. Again to these people we sat, "Thank you".


THE SPRINGBOARD OF SUCCESS

As the commencement season approaches we begin to realize that the seniors have coma to a place In life, the attainment of which mertis recog-nition. Then we begin to talk about milestones and the like. Milestones seem somewhat prosaic to connect with a time so full of aspiration and hope as commencement. They seem to    a bit of finality, and commence-

ment is not a final thing, It la a beginning. Someone wonders why we do not call it a stepping stone. That does put in a little more nearly out Inter-pretation of the Idea, but something with more significance is needed.

We like to think of the commencement season as a springboard. How strange, and really not beautiful at all! Perhaps, but there is a resemblance. Our graduates stand on the brink of the sea of life, ready, anxious to venture forth. The swim may depend on the way In which the swimmer leaves the spring board. A lot depends on the springboard too. whether or not It lis new and strong and fitted for its work. The springboard from which our seniors start on their swim of life is Just as strong aa the efforts put forth In college have made It. its spring is determined by the quality of prepar-ation that has been made In the years preceeding its use. It is our wish us our graduates leave this springboard that It be a springboard of success and that their course on the sea of life may be fruitful and happy.

THE THINKER

Back of the beating hammer

By which the steel is wrought. nark or the workshop's clamor

The seeker may find the thought, The thought that is ever master Of the Iron and steam and steel. That raises above disaster And tramples it under heel!

The drudge may fret and tinker Or labor with dusty blows, But back of him stands the Thinker, The clear-eyed man who knows; For Into each plough of saber.

Each piece and part wand whole. Must go the Brains of Labor

Which gives the work of a soul?

Back of the motor's humming.

Back or the belts that sing.

Hack of the hammer's drumming.

Back of the cranes that swing. There is the eye that scans them. Watching through stress and strain.

There Is the Mind which plans them. Back of the brawn the Brain!

Might of the roaring boiler.

Force of the engine's thrust. Strength of the sweating boiler Greatly In these we trust.

But back of them stands the Sehem er,

The Thinker who drives things through,

Back of the Job—the Dreamer

Who's making the Dream come true!

The many phases of nursing make It a desirable and profitable occapa-tion to the girl who is physically capable and whose interests follow that channel.

The medical profession is one of broad opportunities to those who possess high intellectual and physical qualifications, but it also requires long and ardous work In preparations. Mrs. Quantious quoted statistics showing the large number of women who have entered this profession.

Dietetics is a comparatively new field which opens to the student of home economics various and attract-ive occupations.

The speaker concluded her discus-sion by saying that no girl should enter a vocation toward which she has no sympathy or liking.

By the interest shown and the many question asked It was apparent that Mrs. Quantius' discussion was much appreciated.

Father of Love and Power-Burg

Friday morning Dr. Frank Crum packer. who has been a missionary to China for twenty years, spoke in chapel. He told the qualifications of a missionary or some of the things a missionary has to do. First he must learn the language which is very complicated and difficult to learn. The preparation a missionary must make is not bound up in a text book but the preparation and work a missionary must do Is varied. He must buy land, property and build build-ings. In famine he must help distrib-

ute food. Besides preaching the gospel a missionary must preach against foot binding and marriages in youth. The life of a missionary is out: of not only preaching but is a life of real devoted service.    

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
LECTURES BEING GIVEN

For the purpose or suggesting pos-sible occupation to those girls who are undecided a to what they will do during the summer or after they have left college. the Y. W. A. is spon-soring a series of "vocational guidance" lectures and discussions. The project is under the supervision of Miss Mildred Lamb assisted by Miss Blanche Pyle.

At the first of these meetings which was held last Tuesday after-noon at four thirty o'clock in the Y. W. room, a discussion of oppor-tunities In the field of social service was led by Miss Godfredson, county welfare worker.

After discussing educational re-quirements, modern opportunities

for entrance, renumeration, the vari-ous phases. and the changes for ad-vancement In the field of social service. Miss Godfredson related a num-ber of experiences which she has had in her work showing how even the most drab situation can be made colorful. By the questions asked by the girls present it was evident that this type of work appealed strongly to her listeners.

On Thursday afternoon the same hour. Miss Mildred Lamb conducted a discussion on the college girl's opportunities in business. Educational requirements, chance for advancement, and salaries in stenographic, secretarial, and personnel work were considered.

That women are continuing to take a more active part In business Indicates that It Is no longer regarded as a field for men alone, nor is It entirely unattractive,

Until recently very few vocations have been considered open to women, but with modern progress in education and science the fairer sex has actively entered professions, occupations, and vocations formerly thought appropriate only for men.
