Modem Youth Each generation has been divided into the molded and the unmolded. In the former class belong those who have already been through the maturing processes and who are now the fathers, mothers, and the leaders of the land. The unmolded are that happy, enthusiastic group of young people to which the church, home and school are ministering. To use the favorite phrase of the com¬ mencement speaker “you are launching out on the seas of life!” One of the most curious phenomena of the present age is the undue criticism of youth from the older generation. The new science and technology have made the former isolation of the farm a thing of the past. Consequently, we have many more opportunities to observe each other. The reaction has been that this generation of youth is really different because of its lack of respect for what has always been considered sacred. Let us probe into the question further. What are the attributes, charms, and duties of the older and younger generations? The chief attribute of the fathers, mothers, teachers and preachers, presidents, and governors is their vast experience. The value of experience is its use, not its possession, and to this experience youth has always been respectful. Youth sometimes rejects the ways of their elders, but the principles of successful living have been found to be changeless. The primary characteristic of youth is hope. From childhood we think of what we are going to do and be when “we are grown up”. This hope of youth is still the greatest source of motivation for constructive invention, discovery and change. It makes life really adventurous and challenging. What is the most charming quality of age? It is sympathy. Nothing is more comforting to young people than the helpful understanding of those who have been through the “mill”. It is my observation that youth’s greatest charm is courage. “I will”, says youth, and the results are shown on the frontiers of science, art, and religion. Finally, we must determine the duties of youth and age to one another. The duty of the older generation must always be guidance by precept, and the duty of youth is their obligation to the sacrifices and interests of older people on their behalf. The Board of Education by consent of the voters of the Bluffton-Richland School District has provided splendid facilities. These include a well trained staff of teachers, a growing library, physical education, a program of musical education second to none, well rounded courses, debating and dramatic expression. All of this is designed to equip our youth to successfully cope with the problems of the new social order now in the making. We are housed in a new and up-to-date building dedicated with the inscription “Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve”. The Board of Education stands ready to cooperate with faculty, students, and pat rons for intellectual advancement, moral excellence and spiritual growth. — B. D. Smucker Board Of Education
