1949 Ecboes of A. ll. S TO THE CLASS OF 1949: Your motto, Not Finished, lust Begun, sug- gests that out of your years at Ashland High School you have framed a pattern of dreams and visions and ideals. Some of you will use your skill to make these dreams come true. Others ' may not even corne close to the goals toward which they aim. Yet, true to the spirit of mankind, however close to your ideals you approach, you will go on dreaming of things higher still. Do not become discouraged. These dreams are but goals of perfec- tion that run swiftly before us, but always evade us. Though we will never attain our aspirations, they gauge and measure the quality of the soul more than all its mistakes and failures. Through the years, build high hopes on a finn foundation: ignore no truth and fear no facts: keep affection in spite of misunderstanding: reverencethe good intentions of others rather than condemn their errors: get the most out of life by right living, and give the most you can back to the world: be faithful to responsibility, and place service above gain: let intelligence rather than fear guide your conduct. These are ideals which few have ever reached,-but, you will be better for having tried. Jwau, 71704-.
