Bom-:AM XljQ,q,.4.n Jamal'-!,et,'j l I To the Class of 1944 GREETINGS: You have just completed your public school career. That is past and can never be re-lived. You alone can answer how successfully you have completed it. You are actually entering into, for perhaps the Hrst time, a realistic world, a world where you stand on your own merits or fall by the wayside. A word of encouragement then should be in order so the following National Parent-Teacher magazine quotation is offered: Whatever may be your ambitions for 1944-and after-it may help, when you feel discour- aged. to refiect that Albert Einstein's teachers once thought him stupid and so did his parents: that Thomas A. Edison was dropped from school as unteachable: that a publisher once told Louisa May Alcott she'd better stick to her broom and duster: and that George Gershwin was hooted off the stage the first time he played the piano there. This quotation requires additional explanation. The people mentioned surely did not waste much time feeling sorry for themselves whenever they failed. They worked all the harder. Neither did they direct their efforts to accomplish selfish goals nor impossible ones. All of them struggled to make a better world. All of them devoted their energies and thoughts toward serving mankind. In a war torn world filled with envy, greed, hate and suspicion, you will find more opportunities for doing good, more opportunities for rendering service to your friends, your country and your fellow- man than ever before. One of your aims in life is happiness and that can be attained only by making others happy and by serving them in a good way. Do not forget thisg it will serve you well in the future and make your life a success. A We hope your public school career will prove valuable to you and we sincerely wish you a success- ful and happy future. Yours very truly, EARL D. BONHAM, Superintendent.
