wwe 'way its to G4 ug Sf 0 TO THE SENIORS OF 1947 -1lT This message is addressed primarily to the graduates of 19473 during this season, they are justly the most honored citizens of our school community. Nevertheless, the under- graduate should find in these words something of a glimpse into the future and an exhortation to be prepared for his own commencement of life. American young people of today have an assignment that is not optional. They are introduced to a terribly complex world, a world of quickly achieved knowledge and skills, of social tensions, of international frictions, of battered tradi- tions, of huge debts, and of inevitable change. On the other hand, they are confronted with a monumental opportunity- the same opportunity for making the best of life and for im- proving the world in which they live that confronted the Ball High School graduates of 1887. Qnly the opportunity that was presented to the graduates of 1887 has been enriched by the efforts of millions and safeguarded by the sacrifices of our heroes of war and peace. There is an even greater opportunity for the graduates of 1947. As you graduates go forth into the world, it is the fond hope of those who remain in Ball High that you will cherish your high school education as the cornerstone for a continu- ing and constant education in life. Let Ball High be the home to which you may feel free to return at any time. You will always be welcome here. Sincerely, I. VV. McFarland. Eg. if iifa-. craig 4

Mr. Sam B. Graliaiii f i . . Jecftcafzozzl Kindness Forget each kindness that you do Remember every kindness done As soon as you have done itg To you, whate'er its measureg Forget the praise that falls on you Remember praise by others Won, The moment you have won itg And pass it on with pleasureg Forget the slander that you hear Remember every promise made, Before you can repeat itg And keep it to the letterg Forget each slight, each spite, each Remember those who lend you aid, sneer, And be a grateful debtor. Whenever you may meet it. -Author Unknown Editor's note: Mr. Graham presented a copy of the poem above to each member of a recent graduating class, inscribed with the words offered as a light to help you land safely. Now, we realize that the thoughts expressed here put into words the undefined code he followed through life-a life of service and kindness, dedicated to helping others land safely. 5
