One Year
How wise a move on Destiny’s part that our lives should have their evenly spaced chapters of one year each ; and that having these chapters we should have generated |><| within us the impulse to pit the achievements of one against the promise of another. Thus we have our Contests of one year each, our ambitious and ever-advancing programs of film production, our own individual calendars of results and accomplishments. And thus we have, too, our Paramount-Pep Club Administrations, with all their attendant phases consisting of individual committees, and of a program for a twelvemonth of activity and advancement.
There is a motto to the effect that we should never look back, but should always look to the future. That is not true, for the plans and projects of the future are always guided by the record of the past. We cannot logically look to the administrative year of 1928-1929 ahead of us without looking back earnestly and speculatively on the administrative year of 1927-1928 which we are just placing behind us as a memory. It is both an advisor and a guide.
