1O27 — Principal’s Message To the Class of ’27 At last the time has come when your High School days have drawn to a close. You are ready to pass into a new life of responsibility. In the four years that you have spent within the care of your Alma Mater, perhaps some of you have endeavored to clothe yourselves with a rich mantle of learning. Has love, charity for all, its place in that learning? Is it that you have fostered within your hearts during this brief span of years, a feeling of love for God and fellow-man, a desire to dedicate yourselves to the service of others for the better- ment of the society in which you move? One who is schooled in the art of learning, but who has not charity in his heart for all mankind, is a menace to society. In bidding farewell to you, I borrow the words Polonius used to his son, Laertes, as he set forth upon his mission in life: “To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night, the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Affectionately and sincerely, KATHARINE T. CONLEY. 15
