It is the beginning of real education which ends only at the close of life.

Vice President MR. RAY MARTIN MR. ROSS RHINEHART MR. KENNETH BUSS

You are to be congratulated on the progress you have made. But this is not the end of the journey. There are many mile posts still ahead. Some of you will continue your education in college and in the university. Others will continue their educa-
