Classmates .' lllf realization that we have tinished our high school course is, for the most part, very pleasing to us. XYe cannot, how- ever, leave Old Central without a feeling of regret that our in- teresting high school life is now only a memory. During the last four years, we have followed with a definite purpose a prescribed course of study. Our purpose has not been merely to absorb a certain nmnber of history dates or rules of mathematics but lo learn how to study. A knowledge of mere facts does not insure a man success, but, on the contrary, it is the ability to analyze and grasp a subject that counts. The principal and faculty bear a position of vital importance in the development of a high school pupil. ln this regard we have been particularly fortunate. lXlr. Greer and his able corps of teachers have aided us in an entirely unmechanical manner. They have always been eager to give us their assistance, even, if it were necessary to sacrifice their own time to do it. 'l'heir con- duct also has always been exemplary and conducive to the estab- lisluuent of high ideals in our younger minds. XYe have now reached a point in our lives where it is neces- sary to decide upon a definite branch of work which we intend to follow in the future. In this age, a person in our position should not wander along with no aim in view. XVe must educate ourselves well in a limited division of a certain vocation instead of getting only a slight knowledge of a more extensive part. .-Xs we look out into the future, we can see splendid oppor- tunities in various trades, businesses or professions. NYC cannot expect, however, to accomplish anything unless we enter into it with a strong determination. The successful goal can only be reached by strenuous labor. ,Xnd now that the time has come to enter this new line of activity let us bear in mind the words of Roosevelt, ln short, in life, as in a football game, the prin- ciple to follow is: hit the line hard: don't foul and don't shirk, but hit the line hard!
