SUPERINTENDENT To the CYPRUS Students: We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up tomorrow. William James said the same thing in a different way when he said that we learn to skate in Summer and swim in Winter. This simply means that every thought, every act is being absorbed into the pattern, into the fabric of our personality 'during every Working and sleeping hour. Our lives will be full of beauty, well designed, of good pattern, serviceable and useful if we choose our acts wisely, if we plan well and if we are patient, industrious, careful. Lack of purpose, lack of design and you can conceive the result. -CALVIN S. SMITH. ,y X X Th X N g0Hddroe K' , 1. if ,f lf ii, Q55 i l l, 1

ix .N xxx PRINCIPAL O young mariner, Down lo Ike haven, C411 your companion, Launch your vessel, Crowd our mm'us, And ere if vanish over the mar 'in A ter ii lg , , follow if, follow fbe Glc'am. The above lines from Tennyson's poetic gem, MERLIN AND THE GLEAM, are filled with Wise counsel and solemn exhortation. It is a call to mariners. It is a call to all of us, for we are all mariners sailing the ocean of life, and the seas are not always calm, but storms arise and there are dangers on the way, The journey will be less unsafe if we are careful in the calling or choosing of our companions. Our companions will make our journey safe and happy. Our in-:ri Wil' V z l i 1 F '55 M AE 5 2 R ,il 3 ., , ii X 51 fs ia if? i Ii i -. e. f is 'Sh' gf? ill?

They help us above all to be true to our better selves. We reveal our own character in our choice of friends. Next, with choice companions and with vessel launched, we must sail onward with purpose and Zeal. Crowd your canvas. There must be no drifting, no loss of the sense of right direction, no losing of aim, no forgetting of purpose, Much of the joy of life may be lost if the gleam disappears. Our ship may flounder in the fog of delay and irresolution, or it may strand in the shallows of feeble attempt. Our course must be ever forward toward the attainment of worthy goals. If we are true to our noblest dreams and ambitions, our voyage of life cannot fail. After it, follow it, follow the Gleamf' -T. P.

COOK Clerk BOARD GF EDUCATIGN To the class of 1936: You are about to enter a period of your lives which requires serious thought. What you have learned thus far is only a fraction of the knowledge you can acquire. Let your aim be to gain more and more knowledge and wisdom, They are the cornerstones of success. There are many opportunities for the youth of America. To you who make the effort and are prepared, your knowledge, wisdom, and ability, if properly applied, offer a large measure of success. Do not believe that because you come from a small town that the odds are against you. Many of the most successful professional and business executives are from com- munities like yours. Endeavor to express your thoughts concisely, and do not hesitate in making deci- sions. Do not be one to follow the line of least resistance. Accept' responsibility and it will give you the courage and determination to carry on. Counsel with others older than yourself. The benefit of their experience will be worth a lot to you, The other members of the Board of Education join with me in congratulating you, and we give you the assurance that the reward for your effort and determination to obtain knowledge and wisdom will be the creation of opportunity and success. .
