We must have a right attitude toward, and respect for, the feelings and beliefs of others. Enmities and dislikes are usually the result of misunderstandings. Intolerance and ignorance are closely akin. Our happiness and success depend in some measure upon the way we meet others. Understanding and tolerance are the oils which keep the social machine running smoothly. If you have acquired these two social and civic assets, then indeed your school training has been of incalculable value to you and to the state: to you because your happiness and success are assured; to the state because only such an education of its citizens can safeguard its existence as a democracy. Your friend, Superintendent. Twenty-four

TO THE SENIOR CLASS: ' °u arc leaving Brackenridge: some to take your places at once in society, olhers to make further preparations for life by attending higher institutions of learning. Most oi you will eventually become leaders in some community, for you represent, to a great extent, the survival of the fittest. You have finished your course, while each year has seen numbers of your comrades fall by the wayside. You have made a record in scholarship that will be difficult for other students to surpass, but show the world that your high school training has meant more than mere scholastic attainment, by taking your places as leaders and organizers. Above all, show the world what fine men and women you are by living clean lives. 1 have faith in you always to stand for the best. Your friend, Principal. Twenty-five
