T ■ O THE CLASS OF 1933, GREETINGS: The Ancient Greeks made a distinction between order in the world — Cosmos, and the absence of order — Chaos. Enormous changes in the past few decades have given a shock to all existing order resulting in some Chaos. Among the agencies in the world which have set for themselves the business of establishing order and its benefits in the world is the Public School. You have found yourself a part of this agency in the past. You likewise will find yourself among some of the disturbing agencies at times which would uproot the old viewpoints, old methods and old ideals. To throw out any of the old and to accept any of the new unless careful study and thought are given to their background, their causes and probable results, will end in Chaos. Mankind has had a long and tedious progress upward marked by countless millions whose lives have come and gone unnoticed. yet who contributed some share in holding on to the best of their old order in order to pass it on to the next generation. This contribution to World Order is being made by your parents, your teachers, your school and vour community, through you. They fail if you fail — they succeed if you succeed. This becomes your duty and the duty of each of your generation. Tlius, may I appeal to you — take time to study and to think. Make sure of the new before releasing the old. J. Bruce Buckler.
