TO THE CLASS OF 1930 Messages of this character are usually admonitions on hard work and straight forward lives. These are virtues that I am sure you already possess. I want to speak to you on the question of your leisure time. The leaders of today are telling us that to train the people to a wise and sane use of leisure is one of the great problems of our times. Most of your parents work eight hours per day, while your grand parents worked from twelve to fifteen hours per day. It is conceded that by 1940 we shall have a work period of six hours per day, five days a week, and forty-eight weeks per year. You as adults and workers at that time will find yourselves with this increased leisure. You will be faced with the serious problems of how to spend this time. You will realize that your new problems will be probably as serious as the problems of your daily work. It will be a challenge to your intelligence. I trust that you will not become enslaved to commercialized entertainment which can satisfy only your lower impulses, but that you will use this new found freedom in developing a worthwhile avocation that will bring out the best that is in you and that will be an aid to others. Then, you will find that your community needs the time of its good citizens to carry on the evqr increasing number of community-wide projects. There willl be good work for every one to do for the advancement of the whole group. Do your share, and do not let your leisure be spent in such a way that it will bring yoil disappointment and lack of success in your chosen avocation. A loafer off the job has as poor a chance becoming the boss as the loafer on the job. Have you ever seen any real successful man spending his leisure hours just standing around and doing nothing? I wish you great success. Your success will be measured by what you do with your leisure hours. B. McDANIEL.
