SUPERINTENDENT'S A DDR ESS TO SENIORS CLASS OF 1918: Thus endclh your first lesson. You have executed well this, the first phase of your co-operative existence. School is no preparation for life. It is no preliminary; it IS life. It is a very human institution, savoring much of the office, the shop and the lab- oratory, where you have practiced in thinking with the head and doing with the hand, and where you have been born into being some of the noblest aspirations of the soul which shall mould the character of all who come under their influence. In this many sided environment you have met in the class rooms to add your mite to the sum total of knowledge there and to advance the progress of your group. Here you have assembled in the examination room to undergo grilling» that should make you ransack your memories and organize your information. You have pitted mind against mind in contests as exciting ns have ever been fought out on gridiron or diamond. You have stood shoulder to shoulder through the thickest of school vicissitudes and enjoyed each other’s company in all its social pleasures. Sorrow has entered your ranks and you have sympathized. You have learned to withstand the chagrin of de- feat and the exhilaration of success. You have worked and played and laughed and and wept sung together. firing thus practiced in the art of co-operation and having passed the tests for the knowledge of its underlying principles, I feel confident that you are now able to go forth to larger fields of endeavor, to assume heavier duties and higher obligations and adding only that I call down God’s richest blessing upon your every effort. I beg to be remembered as Your well wisher, ROSS A HICKOK.
