DIRECTORS MESSAGE JOSEPH M. HALL T IS with deep regret that we bid farewell to the graduating class of 1938. You have fitted into the life of this school so well that we wish you could continue on as members of our regular staff. You have shown interest in your work, you have given of your best efforts to every task assigned you. You have shown a fine spirt of loyalty and cooperation. The teachers have done their best to equip you for your chosen occupation and to prepare you to meet your social and civic responsibilities. You have received the benefit of their knowledge and experience. They have directed your work and have tried to make it as beneficial as possible. After you leave school and must rely on your own judgement you will appreciate better their unselfish devotion to the task of teaching you. What you have learned here will give you a start in life but if you are to succeed you must continue to work and study. I trust that you will make the most of your opportunities and will always realize that time wasted can never be regained. Ruskin has well said, Not an hour but is trembling with destiniesg not a moment, once passed of which the appointed work can ever be done again, or the neglected blow struck on the cold iron. I congratulate you on your graduation from the Vocational School and I am sure that if you continue through life with this same steadfastness of pur- pose you have displayed here your hopes and dreams will be realized to the fullest extent. ASSISTANT DIRECTORS MESSAGE JOHN S. RAY - T HAS been with much interest and concern that I have followed the careers of a large number of the members of the eight graduating classes which have pre- ceeded you. Many fine youths have gone through the Vocational School. In following in their fcotsteps the Way to employment has been made easier for ycu because of the reputation they have established for being capable, self- confident and reliable workers. More than one boy has obtained employment with some firm because of that firm's satisfactory experience with other graduates. But just because your path has been made easier by this reputation does not xelieve ycu of the serious responsibility of maintaining that reputation, not only for yourselves, but for future graduates as well. As you take your places in adult society I knowihat you too will acquit your- selves as well as those who have gone on before. Your instructors have tried to give to you their best, whether it be trade skills, .technical knowledge or the more general qualities of good citizenship. I feel certain that you will live up to the high standards of the Vccaticnal School, both as capable artisans and as good citizens. There will be times when the going will be tough. Do not let that discourge you. For remember, above all things else, you have something no one can take from you. You have a trade. The inscription above the school doors is still as true as it ever was- He who hath a trade hath an estate. X U C .K T l U N .X I. S C ll U O l.
