RAYMOND S. LOCKE—Our “Genius without education is like silver in the mine’. “Hide not your talents, they for use were made’. “What good is a sundial in the shade’? “What is serving God? ’Tis doing good to man’. “An honest man will receive neither money or praise, this is not his due’. “A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more that a change of moon’. In these sayings from Poor Richard’s Almanac you may find thoughts worth keeping as your guide. It is my desire that all of you lead the happiest, richest and wisest life possible. Remember that “Education is life itself”. Never feel that your education is finished though your formal school training may be over. Seek new knowledge. Develop new interests. Search for the unknown. Work for mankind. Then your life will be rich and your education complete. RAYMOND S. LOCKE Principal
