Frcm atop the Empire State Building you can look across at the giant clock in the Metropolitan Tower. The minute-hand on this clock is seventeen feet long and weighs a ton. Each minute it jumps a foot! Watching it, you can see it jump. Each hour it jumps 60 feet-each day 1440 feet. That minute-hand is a reminder that life is a matter of minute-jumping, How high we jump in a year, or a lifetime, simply is the grand total of our minute-jumping! Each minute gives you an opportunity to jump toward your goal. Jump upward by using that minute to push your work, start an important letter, begin a friendship, learn something new, or renew your.foith in God and your fellow-man. Let each minute find you a jump ahead on the path to your heart's desire. Where you are today depends upon the minute-jumping you did during your yesterdays. Where you will be tomorrow depends upon the minute-jumping you do from now onl My advice to you, on this Commencement Day, is to use each minute to jump toward the bigger, broader, finer life that can be yours! May God bless each one of you on your journey through life. A A wwe Principal

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF l948: May l congratulate you upon your accomplishments in the completion of your high school edu- cation. Never before have such accomplishments meant so much to young people. Youth who will have to compete with their own generation in times just ahead must travel a rough road if their training has not been taken seriously. Today there is no substitute for character, honesty and hard work. De- pendability which includes the traits just mentioned is the biggest plank in the platform of anyone who gets ahead. ln a democracy any person in the ranks has a chance to get to the top if he has the desire to work, understand, and lead. This is true only in a democracy like ours, It is very necessary that we all learn the ideals of democracy by heart, not for the sake of just knowing them but to the end that we may know what they mean, how they can be had, and how they can be improved. Our civiliza- tion depends for its advancement upon the supply of men and women whose skills are unquestioned. Requirements for hundreds of thousands of key positions in both industry and the professions are def- inite. For these positions mediocrity will not do. Advancements in any worthwhile field of endeavor are not made by shoddy work. Today average is not good enough. You will realize as the days come and go the importance of the responsibilities that must neces- sarily rest upon your shoulders to help improve your community, your state, and your nation, Much depends upon the youth of today because life is ever growing more interesting and more complex. lt is required in these days that you have more of the know how than any youth that have gone be- fore you- May you prepare for and accept this challenge. JWVLQ I. Swwwm Superintendent
