i ' jomv F, SMITH Supervising Principal Dear Members of the Graduating Class of 1956: Some wise person has written -- Success is a journey, not a destination, Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road -- for then the journey is over, and it is too late, The time for happiness is today, not tomorrow, You have been happy during your high school yearsg your six years' journey was a happy one, The next journey you take, whether .you go on to a school of higher learning or to some other type of activity, make it a happy one, Happiness must be experienced as we journey, a minute here, an hour there, occasionally a day, once in a long while several days or a week, But the weeks and days and hours are all made up of minutes and if you live for happy minutes, the hours and days and weeks will take care of themselves, You shall find your road through life a pleasant one and spend less time vi orrying about the distant goal, A stream of happiness and opportunities are flowing past you continously, where- ever you are and whatever you are doing, You would do well to adopt this creed, written a century ago by Stephen Grelletz l expect to pass through this world but once, Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now, Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again, It is never too late to take up the giving-away of yourselves for genuine success in happiness, To live a more thrilling life, rich in satisfaction and full of little ad- ventures, you simply begin to look for more opportunities to give yourselves, to more people, in more ways, both usual and unusual, When you set out to give yourselves fully and freely, your hearts make direct connection with the great central source of light and power -- God, the Giver of all good things, In the true nature of happiness I extend my sincere regard, my best wishes, and my most earnest prayers wherever you may travel, May you constantly strive to find happiness NOW, for in so doing, you will not only make yourselves happy, but you will bring joy to all those with whom you come in daily contact, Sincerely, I 7. john F, Smith Supervising Principal
