Superintendent Owen I). Young, that typical Ameri- can business man, in addressing a class of high school seniors, one of whom was his own son, asserted that each graduate should answer the following five ques- tions. He insisted that this was the only examination needed at the end of a high school course, and the correct answer carried over into practice would insure success in life. Here is the examination: 1. Have you definitely enlarged youi knowledge of obligations and increased your capacity to perform such obliga- tions? 2. Have you developed your initia- tive and made more sensitive your emo- tions? 3. Have you discovered your . mental aptitudes? 4. Have you I learned enough I about the machin- ery of society and - - its history to en- I Jk - able you to applj LW?— — x your gifts effec- tively thereto? x H ave ou adequate skill in c o m m u n i c a t i n g with others? It is my sincere w i s h to each of the seniors of 1934 that the Boise schools have provided you with the correct answer to each of these questions. There are many things I would like to say to the seniors of Boise high school on the eve of this graduation. As I do not wish to bore you, I will let the above pithy mess- age stand as it is. To the other classes — freshman, sophomore, and junior — my hope is that you may in your turn come along and in due time pass this very ex- acting test. We who serve you as advis- ers and instructors can wish you nothing better than success and ultimate happi- ness. Your days in Boise high school will be happy and your success in life will be secure if you but fulfill our ambi- tion for you. Sincerely ours, W. I). VINCENT principal We are living in a period of great change. These times are trying on our nerves, our pocketbooks, our attitudes, and our very souls. But the students of Boise high school are meeting the prob- lems of the times in great style. My observation of our young people leads me to believe that they are a fine lot, doing pretty well for the chance they have and the example we older ones set for them . These four years each of you spends here are among the happiest you will ever spend. I see it in your faces and your smiles. For you seniors who are leaving us this year, we wish for you an opportun- ity to show your pluck and courage in helping solve the problems of the world. Remember that real success will depend on your continuing to drive ahead. Don ' t stop your educa- tion. You should be able to educate yourself in large measure from now For those of you who will be in Boise high school next year, max I ask that you help continue the fine records in every held of endeavor. I see in you artists of every kind in the raw — gover- nors lawyers, physicians, even teachers, and leaders in all worthwhile phases of civic and national life. With the future of our fair land in your hands, 1 can not see how am due calamities can wreck our civilization. Have a good time this summer ; keep up your mental activities; it will be pleasant to see you in the fall. A final word of that fine group oi people who make possible the theme of the Courit r this year. To you young people — continue the fine traditions of your forefathers so that you will always be proud of the greater Basque Colony . ZED L. FOY
