BOARD OF EDUCATION Ernest Smedley...........................President George E. Perry.....................Vice-President N. Leland Wilson.........................Secretary Robert T. Ash Mrs. Belle M. Hutchison Perhaps twenty years ago, in the days of Chautauqua, William T. Willis lectured from its platform on America at the Crossroads . It was and is an arresting thought, for America is today at the crossroads. In fact it seems not too much to say that America, yes the world, is always at some crossroad. Again and again nations and individuals are asking at some crossroad of life, Which way ? To the members of the graduating class we say, You, too, are at the crossroads. You are asking at today’s crossroad as you go out from D. H. S. which way? And in the tomorrows you will be coming to other of life’s crossroads where you must choose. May you always choose right” is the hope of your Board of Education. May your choices lead you to true success in life and may your success be in harmony with the definition recently given by a well known lecturer, Success is the measure of the service you render. To this high conception of success Russel H. Conwell owes his enduring fame. We may well follow his example. His world famed lecture, Acres of Diamonds , as well as his high ideals and attainments, have inspired and helped tens of thousands to successful living. So today, though there are many to tell youth that life offers them few opportunities, you can be very certain that there are still Acres of Diamonds for all earnest seekers. Page Eleven
