MISS MILDRED REITER The predominating thought in the minds of youth each year as they graduate from high school is the future. The plans and ideals that you have and a determined effort to carry them out are very important for your happiness in the years to come, but the most important determining factors in your future are the things you do today. The kindly smile, the pleasant word, the thoughtful deed, the helping hand, and the constant consideration for others are the habits of today that will make for you a success- ful future. Greatness does not depend upon your future knowl- edge but how well you use your abilities with humility, kindliness, and service today. Money, position, fame, family and honors will never make you successful. The only successful people are those who have learned how to live happily for others. People who have their interests centered on things, their own families, a few friends and themselves will never radiate brotherhood or a better way of life for humanity. Never in the history of man- kind has it been so necessary that young Americans live unself- ishly today for all the world. Tomorrow may be too late to keep the peace and save the best from this civilization. MR. HARGLD SWANK Congratulations to the members of the class of 1949. You have demonstrated during your four years in school that you are entitled to a diploma from Connellsville High School. You are now to enter fields of useful employment or to continue your education at some other institution of higher learning. Your diploma from this school or from some other does not guarantee immediate success. There is half a century ahead of you on Graduation Day-and half a century would be a tire- some time to learn nothing and achieve nothing if you found immediate success waiting for you. You must realize that suc- cess must be earned. There are not many important positions at the top, these posts go to the fittest, and one does not acquire fitness in a moment, or a year, or four years. lf one did, most of life would be static. You must continue to work, to stick faith- fully to your task, and to learn. Opportunity knocks every day, but you've got to be ready when you open the door. Above all don't be in too great a hurry. The records are full of instances of men and women who waited for success. One such person gives this advice: Learn to walk before you run. The world wasn't made in a minute, nor the people who keep it moving. The worst ignorance is in not knowing how much there is to know. 7
