The Senior R a i 1 s p 1 i t t e r • January Address of (pernor Glass ' President CJIAKLES KAY PARK SIXTE1 ' :N years ago T()DA Inindmls of Des Moines High school students were ])re])aring to graduate and to eml)ark, amid the unfurhng of flags, and the rolling of drums, ujxni a great journey to combat a crisis of our nation. Each student was alert and eager to set sail, incited hy this great iwtriotic fervor, and encouraged on all sides hy the enthusiasm of their elders. Today we also .slant! ui)on the eve of graduation, ready to .set .sail to meet a crisiii — a crisi.s, far greater and more penetrating in its grasp than this earlier one. We, the graduates of January, 1934. mu.st face this great aftermath (jf the World War. However, today as we prepare to embark there is no unfurling of flags nor rolling of drums to cheer us on; instead there is only the S () S cry of distress from hundreds of broken, disillusioned youths who have .set sail before us. .Such is the course which we must sail. We realize that we are attempting a diflicult voyage, one which demands the very highest type of leadership and service. However, we are not discouraged or afraid to attemirt it. Instead, we feel it a .stirring challenge to those of us wlio are privileged to steer our vessels over this .strange, unexplored course — a course fraught with many treacherous shallows of depression and unem])loyment. ] ' ' or years we have been l)uilding and iin])roving our ships of character and knowledge — we have been studying this ever-changing course of life under the tutelage of our admiral, N. H. Weeks, and his crew of assistants. If we have studied well, in prei)aration for this life ' s voyage, we shall be able to steer the ship safely to the shores of success. Hut if we have failed in our jireparation. if our vessels of character and knowledge are not well constructed, they will prove un- seaworthy and we will likely be stranded upon the shoals of di.scouragement and failure. Here in . brahani Lincoln High .school our e. i)erience has been limited only to .sailing vessels u])on ])lea.sure-seeking cruises through calm and well-known seas. .Such trips re(|uire but little skill. However, the voyage of life upon which we sh;dl soon set sail, is beset with many dangers, and sailed upon a strange and unknown course. It re(|uires a captain, who is a capable and fearless leader. To steer a vessel through life ' s ever shifting waters, in these stormv dlays, demands .strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands. It is a chal- lenging test of our i)re])aration which we are eager to attempt. We are standing at the helm, alertly awaiting the final command, our . dmiral, when we mav each of us ca.st overboard the anchor of high school days and embark ui)on our life ' s voyage. It is our fervent hope that all our ships may prove .seaworthv, and that we may guide them all to a .successful port. 5
