James T. Ryan A new year has dawned for our school and students, and like all new years it brings inspirations and hope for better things to come. The realization of such in spiration and hope rests with each individual for its accomplishment, because it is only as we build faith in ourselves and in our worthwhile associates that we can have the ambition to accomplish and succeed. We must, then, establish with ourselves the condi tions which build faith, which mean the elimination of wasting and worthless thoughts and action. If, during the past year, we have permitted our minds to lag at times in useless channels, the hope of happiness in our new year lies in creating for ourselves interest and enthusiasm in worthwhile things and in building within ourselves the faith that we can accomplish these ideals.
