Tucson, Arizona, April 23, 1927 Class of 1927 of Washington High School :- With the graduation exercises your High School life is ended. ,Vin sure that you did not think four years could pass so quickly. They have gone and your school days are over. But the next few years will pass even more swiftly than the four you have spent in Washing- ton High School. I wonder if, when you get older, you will look back upon the youngsters that have taken your place and protest that you didn't do things as they do them. We are prone, as we grow older, to criticise the actions of what we generally term thc younger generation. VVhy, after all, should the young people of one generation be- have as did their elders. Do those same elders carry on their business affairs, their manner of living in the same way as their forefathers? Youth is not perfect-far from it. It is often careless of the rights of others, lacking in courtesy and other faults. So are olderpeople. Whatever your faults, whatever your virtues, when you get old don't blame everything upon the younger generation. We often condemn in others those acts we do not practice ourselves. You know I congratulate you. You know I wish you good luck. Yours very sincerely, JOHN H. MILLER. 8 DID
