,A Ml f I MISS FRANCES MARTIN, MISS LOIS TI-IRASHER, MISS NINA HILL A. N. MCCALLUM To THE GRADUATES 1 A story is told of an elderly man who started out with a small child for a walk, and, with an air of uncertainty said to the child, Which way shall we go? The child replied quickly, Where do you want to go? Because of your youth, few of you, if asked that question in regard to your walk through life, could give other than a vague reply. Usually it is unwise to decide too early on your goal in life, on what you desire to accomplish, or, in other words, on Where you want to go. But it is never too early to decide that you want to go somewhere: that you will not drift, and that you will take advantage of every opportunity to prepare yourself to attain your goal. once you have determined upon it. I Perhaps at no time in history has our nation stood in greater need of men and women of such caliber as the boys and girls i in this class give promfse of becoming. The world is deserting many of the old paths, and blazing new ones of heretofore un- dreamed-of possibilities. Whither are we bound? Whether into shifting sands of an endless desert, or boundless Helds of industrial peace, justice and happiness depend largely upon two things: Hrst, upon the response of educated, fearless. intelligent, Christian men and women to the insistent call for leadership: second, upon what is almost equally essential, the active, honest and informed particfpation in public affairs by those who cannot be, or do not care to be, in the lead. With the inspiration of your high school training beh'nd you, may you soon decide upon your purpose in life, and go for- ward along paths that will leave this world a better place because you have Upassed this way. , Sincerely, C G 1 I I A.
