PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS VVe are the last pupils who will be so honored as to receive diplomas from VVest High. It is a great privilege and we should make the most of it. As we look back we see many great men and women listed among the Alumni of our school. ls not this sufficient incentive to make us strive to succeed? XYe are the last of XYest High to have the chance to carry its name to the heights. Let us work and labor to bring only honor to this last class of ours. XYest High has given us something which is priceless and which it is our duty to use. Our education can make successes of us if it has taught us to work, if it has taught us that success lies in helping others and making this world a better place for those who follow us. lf we are to do this it is for us to consider seriously some of the prob- lems confronting the world today. First, it is our duty as coming citizens to try to understand each otherg and by each other I mean not only those of us who are present, but all the millions of young people in the many lands whose environment is dif- ferent from ours. XYe should attempt to realize how our French friends feel concerning debt settlements and tariff lawsg how foreigners feel about our immigration laws. We should study the matter so that we can do the right thing concerning the foreigners and our own manufacturers and laborers. lt is also our duty to spread our doctrine of equality all over the world so that all our brothers and sisters in foreign lands may have equal chances. This would remove much of their discontent and prevent many disagreements which start wars. , Then we must strive to become a nation of law observers, so that our National Constitution shall remain supreme, and all acts and amendments under it shall be honored and obeyed. It is, of course, a great tempta- tion to mock some of its laws and make light of them, but this is very disastrous. lf the law were not good and necessary, it would not have been passedg therefore, we must obey it because of its worth. Also, it tends to decrease the worth of all other laws, if one is disregarded. So it is evi- dent that we should obey the law because disobeying brings such dire re- sults. lt is taking an awful responsibility for one young person or any one person to say something is wrong which at one time the whole nation said was good and just. ln addition we must, as future employers and employees, strive to be fair so that the industrial difficulties of today may be eliminated. We must, as future workers, strive to be fair to our employers by giving them as much work as we can. As future employers, we should study living condi- tions and costs, and give our workers sufficient income that they and their families may live decently and have some pleasure in life. Correspondingly, the worker must learn to save and budget his income so that he can receive the most good from it. As employers we should study hygienic problems so that our workers might work in the conditions which will be best for their health and likewise give them the highest efficiency. As you see, then, it is a very serious problem to live today. and its solu- tion must demand our fullest attention. -NIILTON BLANC. 4 44+ Scent tcm:
