W E end of the road through high school is but a short space away. Whatever has made this road a pleasant and profit- able one has to a great extent depended upon how you yourself have reacted to all the turns, the hills, and the valleys. Any guidance, any advice is but chaff before the windsg place your own valuation upon the following. May you have gained knowledge enough to give you poise, to hold you firm, when problems face you which you alone must answer. The length of your years matters little unless they have depth and width. ffiuazfvf 16

To the Clam of '33! Your whole high school experience, '29-33, has been Within the space of the great financial kaleidoscope of the world's history. Some of you have realized more than others the tottering standards, the great changes, and the unsolved problems. Your outlook today and your chances of success are vastly different from what they appeared to be when you entered Hughes High School. No one can peer far into the future. There are a few things, however, of which we are certain: happiness, however relative the term is to you or me, must be found, nurtured, and developed from within, and has no permanency when controlled from without. We are sure that the sim- plicity, serenity, and sincerity of Burroughs, and the philosophy, complacency, and compensations of Emerson have the seeds of more satisfaction for a con- tented life than have ever been offered by the bulls of the doctrine of in- flation and chance. We trust that a few intellectual seeds have been planted in the soil that is not too stony to produce moderation and satisfaction for the long run ahead of you. God's speed! .TYNTW1
