The Principals Message Members of the Class of 1938: Fifteen classes have preceded you across the threshold of your Alma Mater’s door. You go now to join a goodly company. As the years have passed and these hundreds of boys and girls have marched across the stage to receive their coveted diplomas, | have watched them go with mingled joy and sorrow. | have shared the joy that they have felt in achieving high school graduation. | have sorrowed to think that we should have to part. | knew well that they would have to face the stern realities of life in a larger sphere than high school affords. This joy and this sorrow | feel again as your graduation day approaches. Only in your case it is intensified. You are ending your high school career in a year in which “the times are out of joint. Seldom in the history of mankind has the world been so filled with the bewildering complexities as those that pervade our civilization at the present time. War, unemployment, poverty, and crime chal- lenge the world’s progress and defy the forces of righteous- ness. You have chosen for your watchword а significant motto. Yau say Less Than Our Best Is Failure. If you take this motto seriously, you will meet successfully the challenge which the forces of evil have thrown down to you and to thousands of our youth who, like yourselves, are com- pleting their high school work in the class of 1938. Whether you go on to college, or whether you remain here in this community, align yourselves with the forces of righteousness and truth. Give of your best to whatever tasks may be committed to your hands. Thus will you justify the education which you have received and make your con- tribution to the solution of the grave problems which beset our world.
