Board of Education Fred C. Bull Ceorge A. Kester, Clerk F. D. Merritt, President HE future of our Republic will be entrusted, in a few years, to you, the young people now in Auburn High School, and in like schools throughout the land. The fine buildings with their equipment, the excellent corps of instructors, have been pro- vided to give you an opportunity to prepare for this duty, and to enable you to secure know- ledge and training for use in your future life, that you may become useful citizens. Beyond these purely utilitarian courses, there have been opened ways to satisfy, in some measure, the Iongings that all feel for the beau- tiful. lt is encouraging to know that so many of you have taken advantage of these oppor- tunities. Whatever talents you possess for mu- sic, for art, for literature or for any of the re- fining things of life, continue to cultivate them, for they can give you much true happi- ness, happiness that does not depend upon the caprice of anyone. Life will teach you that to be happy you must live much within your- selves. May you, the Seniors, who are about to leave the portals of your Alma Mater, attain all worthy desires for success and happiness. F. D. MERRITT

Mr. E, A. Oakley NOTHER school years has drawn to a close. To many this has been the happiest and most profitable year of their entire school career. To others it has been just another year. Wherein is the difference? lt is all within the person himself, as evidenced by his attitude toward life and particularly school life. We can expect to get nothing more out of a job than we put into it. If you have enjoyed this year, and we hope you have, it is because you have done some work and have thought out some things for yourself. To the Seniors, we assure you that you will be missed when the next school term begins, nevertheless we are glad that you have com- pleted this portion of your schooling. We hope that you will not be satisfied, but will press on, realizing that growth may continue through- out life. To those returning, we give you greeting and wish you another year as pleasant or more so than the one just passed. Let us resolve now to so live and work that the high standards of the Auburn Schools shall never be lowered but that they will be raised still higher. The Faculty is always pleased when an Au- burn student or group of students does some- thing worthwhile. We feel that we have not always worked in vain. Best wishes for a happy and useful life to all. E. A. OAKLEY Superintendent
