.5 'Yi we MRATE FROM THE ADMINISTRATICN 916 SENIORS: You of the graduating class of 1935 are about to leave the halls of Mechanicsburg High School and enter a world which may seem confused. ln the school you have order, worthy activities, cooperation, beauty, and respect for each other and the liner things of life, You are going out into the world filled with confusion and uncertainty. You are faced with the problem: What shall I do with myself now that my school days are over? You should not expect too much and do not lose confidence in yourself because things do not go well at first. Train yourself to think, to speak, to write, to enjoy whole- some games, and the out-of-doors. As you look about for a vocation think more of your own growth and happiness than of the money you can make. All around us are tasks that need to be done, services that might be performed-if we have the imagination to see them. Form a few carefully selected friends among people who are older and wiser than you. Feel free to go to these individuals, who have wider experience and deeper understanding, for advice. Carry on some systematic line of study. If you cannot afford to go away to college, you can at small cost continue the improvement of your mind. And finally, remember that the outcome depends on you. You will need all the health, all the good will, and all the determination you have if we are to have the kind of country and the kind of Mechanicsburg in 1950 that we deserve. - R. L. VAN SCOTEN. Ji! TO THE SENIORS: Four years of high school work has now been completed. You are about to commence your life work. Some of you in the field of business, others in continuing your education in schools of higher learning. Go forth and do your best. Class of 1935 you have been an asset to Mechanicsburg High School. Many of you have made names for yourselves on the athletic field, on the rostrum and in the class room. Continue your good work- That as you honor yourself, so shall you honor your school. As you disgrace yourself, so shall you disgrace your school . I challenge you therefore to strive earnestly to be worthy of that trust reposed in you. -GENIFREDE WALTER. Ji! CLASS OF 1935: Standing on the threshold of commencement you are about to face the world as thousands of young men and young women in the past. In some respects, however, your world is a new world, widely different from theirs. Iconoclasts have been working with frenzied efforts to tear from our social scheme ideals which have been deemed by the fathers. essential to a safe and sound democracy. Their ideals of the good seem loose and low. Art flaunts before you angular figures, like which nothing has ever been seen on land or sea--no transcending loveliness, not even realis- tic. Music, modern, flares and discords. Truth, seemingly distorted. Errors of yesterday, enthroned today. To meet such conditions one needs ever increasing wisdom, a steady purpose, a high goal. Knowledge is power but there is more potency in the propelling force of a deep affec- tion. Therefore whatsoever things are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise THINK on these things. Philippians 4:8. D. D. BRANDT.
