PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Members of the Faculty: Parents and Friends: You are here today because of your interest in the members of the class of 1922. During the last four years you have aided us by your advice and encourage- ment in keeping our goal before us, and now that we have attained that goal we wish to express our appreciation and grati- tude. As we go from here into the world may We not forget that we have yet to prove Ourselves, and may we carry with us the thought as expressed by Kipling: as If you can force your heart and nerve -and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you, Except the will which says: 'Hold onl' Yours is the Earth and everything tl1at's in it 'And-which is more-you'll be a man, my son. Our high school days are over but whether we plan to enter college or go di- rectly to some line of business our edu- cation is not over. For in a large sense every day we live holds a new lesson, a cor- rection oi yesterday's mistake, the preven- tion of tomorrow's. And though in our school work we have touched upon many subj ects, yet in this, our senior year, we have only just begun to realize how much we do not know. lust as the amount and kind of work a man does is the measure of his health, so the amount of earnestness with which one goes at these daily tasks is the measure of one's success in life. We have worked hard for this day. But now it is here we cannot, as loyal graduates of B. H. S., feel wholly joyful. Associa- tions of our four years in higlI school will always remain dear to us and years from now we shall have memories of the pleasant times we have passed in this ivy- covered building. It is with pleasure we receive our diplomas, but with regret that we leave our alma mater. 5 We are leaving this school at a time of great opportunities in the business world in general. While there is great call for experienced men and women there is also an increasing demand today for young men and women. Heads of large concerns are eager to give youth a chance, and now as never before these young men and wom- en are entering positions of responsibility and inliuence. With the preparation they have received in B. H. S. the members of this class should be well litted to train for these higher positions. But in whatever phase of work we enter, whether in busi- ness or at college, let us be true to those ideals for which our school stands and on all occasions throughout our lives let us strive To be, not to seem. Speaking for the class of 22 I am proud to have the privilege of extending to you all a most hearty welcome to the 60th Class Day exercises of the Brattleboro High School' -WILLIAM E. MORETON. THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION Class Essay At the present day when the world is in a turmoil due to war and results of war, one of America's most important prob- lems is that relating to immigration. This question which concerns the happiness, prosperity, and welfare of a large number of people in the United States and in other countries, should be carefully worked Out. In order to do this, it is necessary to study the character of the old and new immigra- tions. During the late 18th and early 19th cen- turies, the immigrants- came for religious, political, and economic reasons. They came from the British Isles, Germany, and Scandinavia and settled in New York, Pennsylvania, and the South. It was a peasant immigration and built up an ag- ricultural, home-seeking, land-owning civ- ilization, and the people brought to the United States the Teuton qualities of per- sistence, adaptability, and will-power, which have had a great influence on the character and progress of America. From 1870 on, Southern, Eastern, and Central Europe have furnished most of our immigrants. These persons have come on account of the high wages received in the growing industrial and mining sections of the United States and because Of the crowded conditions in their Own coun- tries. Although all the people of America are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, many of them are hostile to the new set- tlers, and the Teuton stock protests against the rapid increase of Italian, Slavic, and Oriental immigrants.

4 mittee will be able to watch the Work of the prospective nominees, and will conse- quently be able to undertake better the great responsibility of nominating students for different oftices. Many times in the past, the nominating committee has been appointed at the last minute and has hur- ridly nominated candidates, the result is an unwise election. It is hoped that the proposed nominating committee will abol- ish this difficulty and bring about a fair distribution of offices. It has also been recommended that the choice of The DIAL editor-in-chief be left to the board instead of the school. This, it is hoped, will avoid the choosing of an editor merely for his popularity, in total that they disregard of his ability. The board mem- bers are those who are best acquainted with the abilities of their fellow-editors and they, too, are the Ones who must work with the editor-in-chief. Is it not just should choose him? An analogy with the football team helps to explain the situation. The football captain is not chosen by the school, but by the team mem- bers Who have worked with him and know his abilities. There are other minor changes recom- mended, too, but these three are the most important. All have been carefully con- sidered by the committee and at the bot- tom of each is the same purposefthe good of the school. In connection with all these matters, it is fitting to mention the Work of Miss Hen- shaw, especially in connection with the silver B. She originated the plan, Carried it out, and has willingly done a large part of the work connected with it. In all this she has had not thought of DCYSUU-31 gain- but only the best interests of B. H. S. In fostering the silver B plan, Miss Henshaw is rendering services of primary impor- tance to the school. CHOICES The seniors often hear it said that Com- mencement is a time when they must make various choices. Not only Commencement time, but Our Whole life will be filled with options of every kind and description. One of the most important is the choice of friends. This is a tremendous responsi- bility, because of the influence that friends have over us. If We choose the right kind of friends, that iniiuence will be good, but if we choose the Wrong kind, it will be evil, I1Ve must select our friends for their sympathy with our ideals and aspirations, and for their desirable qualities, such as their truth, trustworthiness, and upright- ness. We must not adopt friends rashly without consideration, On the other hand We should not be too cautious and suspect everyone. There is no better advice to fol- low than that of Marcus Aurelius, The tithe tal Worth of a man is the Worth of the things to which he devotes his life. It will also be necessary for us to choose a life-Work. Though We shall naturally think of compensation, this should be a minor consideration. First we must,con- sider our adaptability and training for the Work. One does not expect to see a cow fly, a cow is not adapted to flying. In the same Way one who has been trained for one trade could not be expected to pursue an entirely different one. We should take into consideration the pleasure that the work will bring us-shall We be contented and eager to advance, or dissatisfied and uninterested in the fwork? We should think of the service to others our profes- sion affords. If We feel that our work is adding to the beauty or the betterment of the World, We shall enjoy it the more. As We reach the responsibilities of voters, there Will be many important decisions to make. Above all, We must avoid the dan- gers of the mob spirit. Though listening to the counsel Of others, We must be true to ourselves and be ready at all times to de- fend our honest convictions. This idea is splendidly embodied in a passage from Emerson's Self-Reliance : What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between great- ness and meanness. It is the harder be- cause you will always iind those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the World to live after the WOrld's Opinion, it is easy in soli- tude to live after our own, but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps With perfect sweetness the indepen- dence Of solitude. Throughout life We shall be called upon to choose between what is right and what is Wrong, what is good and what is evil. If our high school course has done nothing else, let us hope that it has taught us to choose wisely and judiciously. THE C. I. P. A. You have doubtless noticed on the pre- ceding page the insignia Of the Central In- terscholastic Press Association, The DIAL has recently joined this organization of school publications of the United States, which is fostered by the University of Wis- consin. The purpose Of this organization is to unite the secondary school publica- tions Of America for the four-fold purpose Of maintaining high standards of scholastic journalism, promoting mutual cooperation in the solution of problems of the editors and business managers of the member pub- lications, providing the desirable publicity for the schools which they represent, and encouraging friendly relations between members, There are many benefits from member- ship in the organization. All members re- ceive copies of The Scholastic Editor, a bulletin devoted solely to the interests of high school journalism. A service bureau criticizes member publications and advises as to policies and improvements. Besides this, the C. I. P. A. holds special contests in news and editorial writing, and holds an annual convention. The DIAL is the first magazine in Ver- mont to become afliliated with the C. I. P. A. The editors feel that The DIAL has made a big step forward. BRATTLEBORCTI-I-IGH scHooL GRADUATION CLASS or 1922 Prudential Committee of Incorporated School District: Rev. E. Q. S.
