MOTHER, Sl'l'l'1RINTl'INlll-INT SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE There are no days in the life of the student more Lnportant than those which he spends in high school. It is here he meets others who become his lifelong friendsg it is here that associations are fonmed that shape the careers of the student. In high school, we laugh some, play some, work some, and dream some. All these are necessary if we are to become well-adjusted citizens in a democratic state. It is in high school that we change fran children to young men and women who are capable of assuming the X nu SEI' I X .,, responsibilities which will be thrust upon us after our lph'fLx,,,v high school days are over, In high school, teachers H and pupils work together in order that both may profit, The student is given the advantage of the mature judg- ment of the teacher and the teacher, in turn, is in- spired by the enthusiastic outlook on life which is portrayed by the student. To each of you, I pledge the best eforts of the A 1'- administration in an endeavor to help Commerce High ,'n'r School meet the challenge of education in a new and ' greater social orders. .
