. .To The Classeof 1950 You are approaching the close of your High School career and the completion of that first portion of your education for life. That edu- cation, of course, will never cease, for as long as you continue to live you will continue to learn. Living and learning are inextricable- to live is to learn and to learn is to really live. When we know and understand entire new horizons open up. Understanding develops into appreciation and appreciation gives a new zest, tingle, enthusiasm and spiritual uplift which makes our former lives drab by com- PHFISOD. There is a life that is as worth living now as it was in the former days, and that is the honest life, the useful life, the unselfish life, cleansed by devotion to an ideal. There is a battle that is as worth fighting then, and that is the battle for justice and decencyg to break those rings that would strangle real Liberty and to expose to light those dark areas of the human mind which thrive on corruptiong to teach our sons and daughters by precept and example the honor of serving such a country as America--that is work worthy of the finest Mr' Murray manhood and womanhood. You will meet failure, perhaps many times. You will also taste success and it will be all the sweeter because of the failure. Life is composed of both of these and must be recognized as such. 'Press forward to the field once more, one victory's all you need. You'll laugh at failures you have had the minute you succeed. The fighting heart may someday win, the quitter never cang There's many a battle turns upon the spirit of a man. And who begins the day with faith, despite his failures past, May see the tide of victory turn And roll his way at last The well-born are those who are born with this spirit and who wish to do this work. The well-bred are those who are bred to be proud of that spirit and who are proud of their work. The well-educated are those who see deepest into the meaning of this spirit and the necessity of this work, Nor shall their labor be for naught, nor the reward of their sacrifice fail themg for high in the Iirmament of human destiny are set stars of faith in mankind, and unselfish courage and loyalty to the ideal. Dayton E. Murray Principal 'J .1
