f X1 TO THE CLASS OF 1934 Possibly one of the best bits of ad- vice that could be given to those about to coniplete their high school course is the cultivation of the spirit of industry and integrity which has been the foun- dation of your success thus far, and which will serve as one of the surest paths to future achievement. Rigid application to your labors and honesty to your employer and to yourself will pay the biggest dividends in your future welfare. Joseph C. Sweeney X I

TO THE CLASS OF 1934 During your four years at Burrillville High School you have learned something of Algebra, French, Chemistry, English, History and other studies. Some of you will use these lessons as a foundation for further work in these branches of learning. Others will probably never more con- jugate a French verb or struggle with a quadratic equation. But I hope that all of you during your four years here have directly or indirectly learned many lessons that will be useful to you throughout your lives. In fact, unless these lessons are so well learned that you can and do apply them to your conduct during your adult life, you will not live up to your full possibilities as good citizens. I have room here to enumerate only a few of them-a sincere desire to know the truth of all things-liberality and fairmindedness in studying and discussing all questions-willingness to co-operate with your neighbors and associates-regularity and punctuality in the performance of your duties-honesty-respect for the rights of others-ability to think logically on your feet and to speak clearly and distinctly before a group-ability to spend your leisure time profitably and well. I hope that prosperity and happiness will reign through the major part of your lives and that when adversity comes, as it does to all of us, you will have sufficient courage to meet it. William L.
