EAST HIGH JANUS -ml Jim... His heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong, Society has invested in each of you. All through the depression when money has been at a premium and expenses have been diflicult to meet, you have had the opportunity to become acquainted with the heritage of the ages, to associate with the great personalities of all time, to familiarize yourselves with the laws of nature and of human relationships, to accustom yourselves to the attitudes, skills, and habits which have brought success to others and which Will, you may be quite certain, do as much for you. While society has invested in you, it has not bought you. You have had your chance to secure such education as is provided at thc secondary level. You can use it as you choose. We hope you will use your powers to serve the society which has done so much for you: that as a result of your education, wrongs may be righted, life may be made better, humanity may be made happier, and that the Whole World may be made a better place in which to live and in which to make a living. Above all, We hope you will help to preserve to future genera- tions the opportunities which have been yours. If you can do these things, society will be glad you have had this opportunity and all of us will be proud of your accomplishments. eil my mam ggs

EAST HIGH .IANUS +90 Heir Self-reverence, self knowledge, self-control: these three alone lead life to sovereign power. I want to congratulate you, members of the January and June classes of 1936, for the splendid record of achievement you have made at East High, Your loyalty to the principles for which East stands, your keen interest in the problems that are facing America today, and the cooperative spirit in which you have studied these problems are surely evidence of a worthy character. That you will take an active part in helping to solve these problems, there is no doubt. I only hope you will be guided to some extent by the high idealism you have shown while here. Dr, Edward Ross of the University of Wisconsin expressed the thought that the keen ideas and opinions of youth are invaluable in breaking the crust which is continually forming over society. I know you will accept this as a challenge to help improve an organized society that is always in need of improvement and find many opportunities for adventures in service. gif Page Nine Ee
