I. FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE

                                 FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE
                                [LIVING TODAY AND TOMORROW]
                                            By  Wm. Henry Cash, Jr.
                                                      1949
                                     
      In this article,  Henry discusses the reasons for attending College and seeking further education after graduating from High School.   His perspective is that of a Christian who is seeking to do God's will.    This paper was a presentation for his professor in Linda Vista Baptist Bible College and Seminary,  and this article was the first in it.

        Why do most college freshmen attend college?   In our school this is not such a difficult question, for most of us are training for full-time Christian service.   For the average college student there is a wide variety of answers.  Some college students do not have any particular reason for attending college, but just do so because of their friends, or because it is the family custom, and for similar reasons.
The four main reasons why most students attend college is the following:
    1.  To earn teaching credentials.
    2.  To secure general cultural improvement through education.
    3.  To meet requirements for upper division and graduate work.
    4.   To prepare for specialized fields, such as aeronautics, engineering,
          journalism, personal work, pre-medical, pre-nursing,

Henry wrote in this paper the following statements :  
       My ambition is to teach among my own people in my native country.
       I am in college to grow out of my childish high school ways, and to be more dependent 
upon myself, to do things, to know how to meet and to get along with people, and to attain a teacher's credential in music.
       Since man is made up of body and soul, it is necessary to feed and nourish both.  It is with food that we feed the body.   It is with study that we nourish the soul.    It is, therefore, for this latter purpose that I am attending College.
       One the the first things that the college freshman needs to learn is to adjust himself to his college career.   There is quite a gap between high school and college, therefore it is vitally important that the student should attain the necessary habits that he should develop, the most important are correct study habits, correct reading habits and the habit of preserving time.
If the student will develop these habits, it will not only help him in college, but it will help him throughout life.
