R. G. WEIHE Vice-Principal Educators are recognizing more and more that the after-school attainments of boys and girls are as much dependent upon social intelligence as upon abstract book larninf' The training of young people to adapt themselves to new human relation- ships and to habituate new modes of behavior is likely to be just as useful to them as many forgetable facts from book or laboratory. West Division has always invited worthy student initiative. On the one hand, West has sponsored life advisement, under able direction, and on the other, she has encouraged social adjustment through the numerous clubs, as well as authorized the Student Council to direct the social life of her 'boys and girls through the charming l formals and dances. She has developed political and civil theory and technique in the debates and open forums. The wanting welfare of nations brought about by the clumsy strategy of their diplomats may some day become a reality with the coming generation of so- cially alert and intelligent citizenry.

-Il P l r A. C. SHONG Principal West Division bids farewell to the Class of l932. F-or your four years of effort, your school bestows upon you her stamp of approval in the form of a diploma. You are now representatives of the school in the outside world, in the shop, in the office in the factory, in the college. Thus, will it or not, wherever you go, you, in a very real sense, you carry your school with you, symbolizing her ideals, her beliefs, her loyalties. Your teachers have faith in you and your future. They hope they have helped you to a better citizenship and to a more Wholesome way of life. They have tried to impress upon you the principle that education consists in learning 'how to think, how to decide. Upon foundations of per- sonal and social character must rest your true success and your ability to deal with problems of society and government. 3 And so you go forth. The good Wishes of the old school go with you-and may you ever bear in mind this bit of wis- dom from Goethe: Art is long, life is short, judgment difficult, opportunities fleetingf' Elizabeth Manning Ivanelle Thomas im
