ivl. F. WORTHMAN, Superintendent Seniors, Commencement Seasons , present to you addi- tional problems for solution. As a bit of parting advice per- mit me to give you one more suggestion. Josh Billings says, There are just two kinds of people — those who can make up their minds and those who can not make up their minds. Please choose to be in the former class. First, check your endeavor and if it is correct, push it forward. The student who does his work without waiting for reinforcements is the one who conquers. George Eliot says: No great deed was ever done by falterers, who ask for certainity. You take the initiative ; decide quickly and then work. There is no grander sight in the world than to see a group of young people fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim. Let obstacles and scattered pitfalls be considered stepping stones. Best wishes, M. F. WORTHMAN. Ten.

WALTER J, KRICK, Principal Class of 1930: You are about to complete your high school education and start in pursuit of some honorable vocation for life ' s work. Your ability to advance depends largely on what and how you have trained yourself to think. A man mu.st be a student of his occupation. He must possess all of the available knowledge about one thing and a little knowledge about everything. Con- tinue to grow mentally and keep life around the things you like to do. When an opporunity knocks for advancement, accept it ; for the older you become the less opportunity knocks. Regardless of what may confront you keep up the desire to win and this will do much to make opportunity come your way. Yours for Success, WALTER J. KRICK. Kleven.
