You played an important part in writing another chapter in the history of Blue Mountain Academy this year. Part of the history is recorded on the pages of this beautiful yearbook which will bring back fond memories as you leaf through its pages in the days ahead. You were an exceptional student body, so cooperative, dedicated, mature and inspiring. You experienced spiritual growth during the year and developed a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Some of you, by virture of graduation or other personal interests, will be tempted to cease your schooling, while others will be deciding where to attend school next year. Regardless of your plans for next year, I sincerely hope you plan to be a part of the student body of the school of the hereafter where "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 11 EDUCATION, p. 301 It is my earnest desire that you will choose to enroll in the heavenly school from which you will never graduate. In that school, "every power will be developed, every capability increased. The grandest enterprise will be carried forward, the loftiest aspirations will be reached, the highest ambitions realized ••• All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God's children. With un­ utterable delight, we shall enter in the joy and wisdom of unfallen beings. We shall share the treasures gained through ages upon ages spent in contemplation of God's handiwork. 11 Education, p. 307 Now is the time to make the final preparations for entering the school of the hereafter. Continue to allow God to control you life and determine with His help to be a part of the greatest space flight this world has ever known. It has been a privilege to work with you this year, and I pray that you will plan to enroll with me the University of Heaven.
