MR. TROUT'S MESSAGE WATCHMEN. WHAT OF THE NIGHT? From time immemorial, man has been concerned with what lies ahead for him. This day of which you and I are a part is no exception, for we, too, have many occasions for being anxious of the mor- row. You, as a graduating class, are launching into a way of life that is dif- ferent from anything you have experi- enced during the past twelve years. School, with all its faults, kept you under its guiding influence to a larger or lesser degree depending upon the individual. Now all that changes by a process we have come to know as graduation. You will not be forgotten but new faces will fill your places and that day-to-day con- tact with school ends. Now let’s return to our question, What of the Future? Perhaps I should not say this, but at times I have a fear for your well-being; not only you as a class but hundreds of classes like you who are completing their formal education. I know you would wonder why I should say this to you on an occasion like this. My fear is based on the ob- servation that you have not learned a true sense of values. You are the children of an age that measures success in dollars instead of service, in getting instead of giving; yes, privi- leges instead of responsibilities. That’s why school has not meant so much as it might have meant. You wished to measure success in the immediate, instead of the ultimate. It is at this point that the task of education need be stressed. We have tried to do a good job in teaching you the fundamentals, but have you learned to think, that is to think as an individual who is endowed by his Creator with a mind, a body and a soul that no other mortal may claim? It is our hope that as you leave school that the pattern of life of which you were a part continue to expand with ever-widening circles of success. We hope that you will weave into that pattern the strands of truth, love, honesty, and service. Bind them all securely together with the strong fibers of faith—faith in God and in man, faith in a better tomorrow. A short story will perhaps sum up the whole picture. An old man sat under a tree speaking to a young man just leaving high school. They discussed the problems of man- kind and of the world in general and there was much to be said about both that was un- complimentary. The old man assumed the responsibilities for the mistakes of his generation. Then the young man cynically replied, T could make a better world than that. The old man calmly and prayerfully replied, Go to it, my son. The echo from him to you is, Go to it, my son, and may the Creator of all things good give you strength for the task. 10
