BOARD OF EDUCATION TO THE CLASS OF 1940 • Life is the acceptance of responsibilities, not their evasion. • It is the business of meeting responsibilities, not avoiding them. • To everyone the chance is continually being offered and by the manner of his choosing you may fully judge him. • In the actual work of life it is difficult to find those who will accept the responsibilities and do the job in shop or store or factory with a feeling of responsibility, initiative and imagin- ation. • It is the hope of each member of the Board of Education that you have not only learned facts, but that you have been taught to think. • In the last analysis, education is not enough. You will find it takes a state of mind, which may include ability and a willingness to work with your hands. • We can truthfully say that every member of the Board of Education is sincerely inter- ested in you and in your fellow students and is working with school officials and teachers to bring about the kind of education suggested. • To you who are graduating we offer our heartiest congratulations.
