NOTHING BUT YQUR BEST Am I stretching my imagination when I tell you boys and girls of Forest Avenue High School that the United States is now at the very threshold of a great renaissance? This nation is old enough for such a revival of learning. We have the background and foundation out of which to develop a real revival of culture. We have time for such a revival of spiritual things. God knows that we need a revival, and you are the ones to start it. To this end, then, I charge you to use your best intelligence in school. Approach your studies with all the intelligence you have at your com- mand. Our school program calls for the best you can give and, as Honorable Marion S. Church recently told us in assembly, we are chal- lenged to do championship work in all our undertakings. I would have you get all the worth-while information you can secure while you are in school. Take advantage of the great supplies of know- ledge your teachers have in store for you. Every book in our school library is for your perusal, and the same is true of the public libraries in this city. Read good books. . I would likewise have you use your imagination so that you, too, will be able to lan for the future. You should outline for ourselves reat P Y S and worthy programs, as the architect makes his plans for the construc- tion of a reat buildin . This renaissance will be a creative a e. We are g S g going to be called upon to create positions where there are no positions. Train your imagination. I would have you develop your power of initiative, too, so that you will be able to do all that is demanded of you in this great revival, Witli intelligence, information, imagination, and initiative, you will be able to live at your best and render the best possible service to your fellowmen. WYLIE A. PARKER,
