A Message to the Seniors By Starr M. King Superintendent of Schools ONGRATULATIONS, Class of 1938. for completing the necessary requirements for grauluation from Beverly High School. If it were a game of baseball you had been playing, I should say good work for managing to reach first base successfully. Perhaps some of you have reached this important station easily as the result of a resounding base hit, others may have gotten on as the result of an error by the teacher. However, you are there-you all stand equal in the eyes of the umpire and your attention is directed to the im- mediate responsibility of reaching second base. It may be that you will be fortunate enough to be pushed along through the assistance of someone else, but the skillful ball player will take advantage of his opportunities, will be alert to openings in order that second base may be reached through individual ability or knowledge acquired through many months or years of practice. As the coach on first base I am sincerely interested in your continued success and progress. Naturally, you will receive all sorts of advice from the sidelines, too, but I urge you most earnestly to think everything out for yourselves very carefully. This will be of the utmost importance in the shaping of your lives in the future. To drop my metaphor-as Americans we are beset by a confusion of conflicting ideas, ideals, and policies. Competent, clear-thinking, unselfish leaders are needed everywhere-in education, business and particularly government. lNIy hope is that each and every one of you will do your part to see that this is accomplished and that this American democracy be preserved and made a better place for us all to live in.
