Service to your fellowman, unselfishness, integrity, and co-operative effort are qualities in which your teachers have trained you for your future careers. Leaving school, you begin in earnest to learn the weight of things for your- self. The burdens of responsibility now shift rapidly from the shoulders of your parents and teachers to your own, Do not be content with mediocrity. Strive to do the work assigned to you with your best effort, so that each step forward will find you better prepared and bring you closer to your ultimate goal and a broader, richer horizon, John L. Scolaro, BHS l938. 9
