You, the student of Jy are the grandchild and the heir c ‘he rich, pioneering legacy which grandfathc ’ and vour opportunities for self-fulfillment thiv... education have more than once brought a look of wistfulness into grandfather’s eyes. But you are the heirs of many confusions and perplexities which are unique to our modem world. Your physical and psychological environment is bombarding you with a host of educational and social stimuli to such an extent that in many instances you are left with alarming and dis-arranged notions of what you out 1 ♦ do 1 wbqf you would like to do. . v srea to st sinp’ 0 • governing your responses to the various pressures which exert their influence on you, is your own scale of values. In our times, many people foresake their idealism, preferring to place maximum em¬ phasis on “social security” and the necessity of acquiring only those qualifications which will best equip them for competition in the rigorous “dog eat dog” climate of our materialistic soc- ciety. On the other extreme, there are those who cling with tenacious futility to their world of wishful thinking; who stay in their “ivory tower” and refuse to look at the world realistically, believing that “wishing will make it so.” Both views lead to abortive mis-applications of human resourcefulness. Rank materialism takes the soul out of man’s labor; in-controllable idealism makes his life a quixotic farce. As your principal, it is my sincere hope that your attendance in high school has helped you to acquire a good scale of values, for without them, an education is hollow. True wisdom is reflected, not in the ability to give sophisticated answers but rather to ask serious questions. I urge you therefore to ask yourself: Have I learned to desire knowledge without scorning ignorance; to be magnanimous without being weak; to be scrupulous without being dogmatic; to seek per¬ fection without losing my tolerance; to strive for success without making it a fetish; to be realistic without abandoning all dreams?” Even as grandfather built for today, you must build for tomorrow. Only then will you be a worthy heir of your legacy from the past. 6
