SUPERINTENDENT As I write this article for the Devil's Diary during the Christ- mas season of 1938, I am reminded of the struggle of the nations of the world during the past year to gain a permanent peace for which so many gave their lives in World War II. I have watched with interest-- and sometimes dismay--to what appeared to be at times the futility of the debates and actions taken in the United Nations Assembly and have wondered at what would be the final outcome. 'Perhaps the solution lies in the spirit so manifest at this time of year and is contained in the following words for those who would hear, HBlessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the Children of God.H I am sure that as we look back on this era of time in the years to come, we will all agree with the ideals expressed in these words of the Bible. May we as members of the student body and faculty adopt these lines as part of our philosophy as we take our various places of responsibility in our beloved nation and the world in the years to come.

PRINCIPAL To students and members of the faculty: Thank you for your friendship, assistance, and cooperation during the past year. Your excellent support and the privilege of working with you has certainly been appreciated. V Ernest Thompson Seton is credited with saying, nManhood, not scholarship, is the first aim of education.H To some of you this year's experience in high school has been a new venture, others are in the middle of the educational journey, while still others are gradup ating and will soon begin to apply their acquired knowledge. Through- out this nine-month learning process, trials and tribulation, joys and sorrows, work and play have all been largely responsible for the mold- ing of our lives. It has been a banner year, highlighted with the finest types of school functions. And if we, in this educational process, have emerged as real men and women--citizens of a great de- mocracya-the goals have truly been achieved. Treasure up the good and wholesome experience of this school year. Use the hardships and unpleasantries as stepping stones to pro- grass, and go forth to help make the world a better place in which to live. As another successful chapter of our lives near completion, the words of Carlyle seem appropriate, WMake yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less rascal in the world.H Ralph A.
