MR. HARRY R. MCMILLAN, Principal The time has come to bid farewell to another class of graduates. We wish each of you well as you set out upon your pursuit of success in life with the reward of Heaven at the end. Each Knight and Lady may be likened to the travelers in an old legend. It is said that late one night they encountered an old man upon the bank of a small stream. Before they walked through the shallow waters, the kindly old man said, Pick up pebbles from the bed of this stream and you shall be both glad and sorryf' To humor their new acquaintance, each one carelessly thrust some pebbles into his pockets. Near the end of their travels they found the pebbles to be precious stones. They were glad they had them, but very sorry they had gathered so few. In like manner, the graduates of 1949 will be glad they gathered the happy talents of character and academic training while in Southeast High School but sorry they did not make greater effort to gather more. We hope our graduates will assist parents and teachers in convincing those who enter high school that worthwhile achievement comes only as a reward for honest work. GEORGE POWELL ij 6 - i--an Dear Seniors: Because you are serious, ambitious, tolerant, ideal- istic, and desirous of participating in the affairs of the present day world, you will not ask What can be done? Instead, you will ask, What should be done? Your answer will be Let's do itf' The suffering and sacrifices of two World XVars remain unjustified. Our social age lags behind the scientific age in which we live. Hatred, fear, conflict, and crime threaten our culture. The' nations of the world are still unacquainted, suspicious of each other, and divided. Democracy, with its opportunities, rights, freedoms, and duties, needs revitalization. Leadership is needed in the new era into which we are advancing. Just as democracy could not have been born out of all the economic and industrial developments of the past except as men respected the individual and safe- guarded his human rights, so solutions to problems confronting you will be in direct proportion to the emphasis which you and thousands of other graduates of high school and college place upon the individual and his human rights. Your heritage includes One Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Will you pass on to the next generation One World indivisible, with liberty and justice for all? Best wishes to each of you. HARRY R. MCMILLAN MR. GEORGE POWELL, Vice'-Prim'ipfz1 f l
