Next Wed- Helen nesday, 262 of you Centralites will walk across the stage of Mackenzie auditor- ium to receive your diplomas. These diplomas will testify that your high school course has been completed and that you are now ready to enter college or go into some field of work or chosen profession.

Said the emperor to the Rabbi, "You Jews teach that your God is everywhere, and boast that He lives among your people. If it is true, I should like to see Him." "Yes," replied Rabbi Joshua. "God is indeed everywhere, but He cannot Ile seen." The emperor was not pleased at the Rabbi's reply, and he still felt that there must be some way of seeing God. "Let me explain once more," said the Rabbi. "Sup- pose that we try to look first at one of God's works." The emperor consented and the Rabbi, taking him at noonday out into the open air, bade him look at the sun. " cannot," said Trajan, "the lig dazzles me." "Thou art una le to endure the light of one of God's creatures," said Joshua, "and yet thou" be- lievest that thou canst behold the glory of the Creator, Himself."
