TO THE GRADUATING CLASSES THESE are for you the culminating hours of four happy years, and as 1 witness on every hand the preparations for your departure from these the scenes of our mutual striving, I am filled with mingled feelings of rejoicing and regret. Our days here have been filled with so much that is finest and richest in friendship, that, happy as I am over your successes and graduation, I find myself conscious of a sense of loss as I sign your diplomas and thereby mark the end of our common adventure. The only thing I know with certainly about you as individuals is that each of you appears but once in history. “Each is irreplaceable”; each has a disposition to grow and each craves social recognition. No man knows what will be the nature of the social order of tomorrow; it seems safe to assume, however, that you will meet problems of selfishness on the one hand and of cooperation on the other; that you will be called upon to make moral decisions and to solve problems that will require training, courage, and intelligence. Central High School has sought to prepare you to meet the unexpected; to train you in methods rather than in rules; to aid you in mastering the social techniques; to assist you in the task of building minds tolerant, inquiring, fearlessly honest, capable of thinking, and creative. Whatever measure of success may attach to this endeavor, I am confident, that because of your association with this school, you will become, as individuals, more productive of the things man needs as a social and spiritual being. Faithfully yours, Richard T. Hargreaves. Seventeen
