The curtain has been drawn, a short scene in a long drama has just closed. A climax has been reached and the denouement unraveled to the complete satis- faction of everyone concerned. But the great drama goes on full of other scenes, tenser climaxes, and ofttimes less pleasant denouements. Each has golden lessons, intense friendships, fitting punishments and lasting rewards. New actors take the parts of old 5 new laughs and new tears follow new texts. Education, indeed, is a drama as long as life itself. In leaving, you step from warm sympathetic surroundings into a none-too- tolerant world that views you with a critical eye. You must make good. Very few get by on school records or past reputations. The greatest of all poets has penned it thus: L Perseverance, dear my lord, Keeps honor bright: to have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty nail In monumental mockery. You must keep on producing if you wish to retain the esteem of others, always reaching out to more distant goals, exploring vaster fields, and getting greater knowledge. To attain, you must possess patience, industry, initiative, competitive spirit and personality: these are the very ingredients of success, but all may be acquired with enthusiastic application. Dependence upon false values or trusting to luck, however successful, will not bring happiness, even riches may leave an empty void. The big man gets the breaks because he makes them. Live good, clean, wholesome lives, ever remembering the axiom: An honest man's the noblest work of God. Iust now, you should ,make a college education your most urgent objective, even though you postpone that event a year or two or plod along in evening courses because of economic conditions. But get it, that is thenimportant thingg it's worth the effort and will pay huge dividends later on. As your Adviser, I have tried to give every fellow the opportunity tq develop the master qualities of character and personality. Your student leaders have done Splendid work in bettering school conditions at the Central High School, getting a lot of fun out of it as well. Many, I feel sure, will fill positions of the greatest trust in spheres demanding the utmost ability and energy. Finally, don't forget to give due credit to your parents, many have sacrificed silently in order to see you through school. Keep close to the home ties always. In parting, let me congratulate each of you upon past achievements and wish you continued success in all your future undertakings. 0744- 6-7?

Slowly they march out. 1, Farewell. Qfiif h We, too, were once Freshmen, similar to those toddling infants i now populating our corridors.
