Miss ALICE HARRs1oN Miss Lois THRASHER NIRS. FANNIE MAssEY l G. H. XVELLS TO THE STUDENTS OF AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL: As we consider together the picture of our high school with its variety of interests and activities, we think of it as a school in democratic living. Behind each organization there is a fundamental document, a constitution or a set of rules agreed upon by all participants. The practice of working and playing according to a planned agreement is fundamental to a social democracy. From it we learn that greater security and human happiness come with a full realization of the solemn obligation upon each member to play the game in the spirit of these documents. VVe hope that this conclusion will have become through your school experiences a part of your conscious understanding and living. A5 , aaeeag J. H. GARDNER L. H. BLENDERMANN CARL WIDEN R. G. MUELLER

MRS. W. W. Ckoroor MRS. BEE Gnrsson MISS JOSEPHINE BAILEY A. N. BICCALLUM TO THE GRADUATES: ' My message to you is that when told Hthere are no more frontiers to conquer, you do not fail to remember that this declaration refers only to the tangible, to frontiers of landgand country. In the early centuries there were numerous frontiers on all sides to be overcome. Today there are few new forests to clear and little new land to cultivate. The real frontiers to be conquered today are within yourselves. Here discoveries of vast importance await you, disclosures that may make or mar your entire lives. The surest way to fail in making the most of your lives is to become confused as to what constitutes success. Rabbi XVise has said: Success is not the reverse of failure, it is the scorn of failure, always dare to fail, but never fail to dare. You must have the courage to dedicate yourselves to making the world a better place in which to live. You must take the lead in discovering the technique of the art of living together. You must become the apostles of unselfishness, the enemies of greed and corruption wherever found- in yourselves, in your country, or in the nations of the world. Yours sincerely, Af, ,K WG G E l E.
