same things in life and, too. we cannot all do different ones. If we must attain success in our own particular line, we must know it better and be just a little bit better in it than everyone else in that same line. Success does not come to every man, it is true, but with the proper training, such as we have received in the last four years, it ought to come just that much easier to us than to a man who has not had the benefits of a High School education. And furthermore, there will not be one of us who can say in later life that he has actually wasted four years in Edmunds High, but has been benefited immeasurably. This will come home to us more and more as we grow older. The history of our class has not been an exciting one. We entered school the year peace was declared and had hardly a chance, as a class, to prove our loyalty to our country and help its cause. We have attended high school, how- ever, in perhaps the most trying and chaotic time in the history of the world. The task of political and financial adjustment after so terrible a conflict has been a mighty one, such as the people of the world have never been up against before. It remains for us, the coming generation, to see a new era of peace and prosperity in the world, which can only come about with some mutual agreement on the part of the nations to settle their disputes by arbitration rather than by war. We have all followed with a great deal of interest the Disarmament Conference at Washington, which is to mean so much for the future peace of the world. Whether or not the conference will prove a success, time only will tell. It will be a matter of a great many years before real peace will come, and it is not improbable that the task will be handed down to us and even to the generation after us. Finally, our class has gone peacefully through high school, exactly as any other class might do. We do not attempt to boast any particular praise or glory due to ' 22, but we can say that its members have supported the various school activities to the best of their ability — and who could ask for more than that? And. upon leaving the school, we can only repeat the words and thoughts of graduating classes from time immemorial, and say that we really do appreciate all that the school has done for us and that we wish it every success in the future. 19
