SHELDON E. GUILE, Superintendent of Schools PR heritage has given us many' Institutions typically' Americanfl nique to our Nation and Wiay of Life. You who are ahout to leave one of these Institutions. the American High School. have chosen another. Baseball as the theme of your Tom Tom. Bass-hall and lligh School have more in common than many realize. Both had their beginning in the last half of the nineteenth century. and spread throughout the Yation following the Civil War. But of far greater significance. is their similarity of principles. among which one must mention --recognition that ahility' has no race. color. creed or economic status. equal opportunity for all. and that to achieve one must work. These principles have influenced not only' your school and sport life. but will carry' on into the year aheadvin industry, the community' and in the home, Those of you that have learned well the rules of school and sport will have little dilliculty' with the rules of life. A strike out will not defeat you. for you have learned from Basehall the importance of the nwill to win. All of the faculty' wishes vou the best of success in your future life.
