mr. Perry :MA our Superin tenden t A few years Ifiave slipped sottly by since I graduated trom EUI-IS, so quickly and so sottly ttiat I tiave barely noticed ttieir passing. And yet my grand total ot earttily years is mucti less tlwan a quarter ot a century. In '47, my principal, Mr. Perry, resigned Iwis position atter Iiaving taittitully served my scI'iooI , . . tiis sclwool . . . our scl'iooI tor tlwirty years. As I ttiinlc ot Ifiim now, I cannot conceive ot Mr. Perry as a memory or a picture in an annual. During my years at EUI-IS, Escondido became a part ot me, ttie sclwool became a part ot me, Mr. Perry became a part ot me. I-Iis Irnowledge ot lite burned briglit and tie was good enougli to Ifielp me Iigtit my candle ot living. I-Iis intluence in ttiose years tielped to secure my roots, encourage me in climbing toward ttie Iigtit, and since gradus ation has caused some Ieating in tlie sun. I am very proud and Iwonored to call so line a man as Mr. Perry, my triend. But wl'ien I call trim my triend, I must realize tlwat I am not spealcing just tor mys selt. In every one ot ttiose tlfiirty years, Inie Iwas met and counseled and guided Iiuns dreds just Iilce me. When aslred tor ttie reason tor Iwis success, Clwarles Kingsley once said, Iliad aytriendf' I Irnow I spealr tor myselt and tor all tl'iose otlwers like me, over ttie years, wtien I say tI'iat it we ever Iiad a true triend, ttiat triend was Mr. Perry. It we ever enjoyed success, it is probably due, in some way, to Iwim. It was witli pride, gratitude, and sincere tlwanlcs tliat I . . . tliat we, all EUI-IS students ot tI'ie present and past tlwree decades, Iwumbly dedicate ttiis annual to our very best triend, Mr. Perry,

ree tingm In I88l the French Government began the job ot digging a canal across the Isthmus ot Panama. They never tinished it. It was untinished business until the United States completed the iob in I9I4. ln the Escondido Union l-ligh School several years ago a boy was thrown ott a tootball team by his teammates because he had dissipated too much to be able to stand up against the grueling pace ot the game. Mental and physical titness were untinished business in that boyis lite. Recently a girl applied tor an excellent position in Escondido. A t-ligh School Diploma was one ot the requirements tor the job. She did not have one-'Untinished Business. l do not lfnow all the robs you graduates are worlcing on today but here are a tew that, it unfinished, should claim your immediate attention: a lcindly and helptul attitude toward all people: a willingness to assume responsi- bility? 61 wholesome attitude tOWard work: a greater respect tor law and authority: honesty and integrity in all living: and a satistactory religion or philosophy ot lite. Men become great only as they dedicate themselves to the solution ot great problems. Ot the many world problems still untinished a tew are: war among nations? alcoholism-a serious menace to lite and business? proolems ot capital and laborp the deadly cancer: and Mt. Everest is still to be climbed. Two thousand years ago a young man ot thirty-three said, lust betore he passed trom this lite, il have tinished the work which thou gavest me to do. To be able to say those words, and have them be true, is the supreme challenge and tinal test ot a iite time. Let there be no 'Untinished businevsi' written across your record. 7'24.x4-41V lf?
