.THE CANOE Professor K. I.. Stewart Superintendent Superintendent’s Message To all who glace at these pages. Greetings! You will belong to the great throng of individuals who are friends of our's both known and unknown to us today. Some of you are underclassmen, and others are Alumni gone out from Berrien Springs High School in former years; some are teachers, some parents, and others, friends of our friends. Yet others will come in later years and search these pages for a glimpse of the school day countenances of those who will have liecome close to them. This l ook is a reminiscence—a memory album of twelve years of life to each of twenty Seniors of this year—-twelve years of such vital, such impressionable living that whatever is accomplished for good or wrought of evil in the years to come will, in large measure lx the outcome—the fruition of ideals and precepts inculcated or of complexes develojxd during these years. Will these memories be satisfactory to the Twenty? And will the faces of friends in future years lieani happily at thought of these twelve years? We trust—“Yes!” But for good or for ill the die is cast. Such is the tremendous im|x rtance of this great American institution, the Public Schools. Such are its terrifying responsibilities. There is not a home it has not influenced or may not touch. Lives are moulded here to a degree which we scarce dare suspect. The very principles of government rest secure or tremble in the balance as the instruction of the youthful years is sane or warped. W herever your lot is cast, readers—whether Friends or Twenty—we greet you and urge that in reminiscence this thought remain with you. I he Public Schools where your twelve most impressionable years were s|x nt are likewise in your community demanding your support and challenging your most careful consideration and attention. For yourself the foundations are already laid, but what of the under-classmen with us today and those to come from your offspring tomorrow? The schools build the Nation of the future. There lies your path of duty. The Superintendent Pate tii ns
