., W - Commander - in-Chief 24 Hours Ahead Schooling today is not so much mental training as judgment training. The things you learn about during the twelve years of your school life are not isolated facts: they are a kind of concentrated mental Vitamin that will enable you to judge your future actions. No one can speak of this ability as prophetic or predictable, but rather, it is a means of helping you decide what is best for you personally. The most you can get from any amount of education depends upon the boundaries you set yourself. lf you feel that you can get along with just so much, then your future is limited byjust that much. Now, that is not termed ambition, because you can not be ambitious when you don't have an extensive training. Iobs within the next decade will be plentiful. To measure up to these demands, I sug- gest that you extend the boundary of your training to a point where it will encompass the best possible iob for you. Your public education ends with a sheet of paper certifying to your completion of a specified course of training. It is a passport to the larger field of earning a living and living with your fellowmen. Twenty-four hours is a relative term in that it specifies the rela- tionship between what you are doing today for the next day's progress. If you make of your progress a simple routine determined by a whistle and an alarm clock, then you immediately classify yourself. But if you use each twenty-four hours as ad- vancing one point farther toward ultimate peace and happiness, then you are contributing toward a democratic civilization. ' A The things you do are not always the things you like to do, and it is because of that phase of your living that you make tomorrow something to be looked forward to. You will like tomorrow much better than you will like today, because the steps which make tomorrow worthwhile are determined by what you do today. The way of your living in the future depends upon how hard you fight to do the things which mean the Four Freedoms. F. C. GILLESPIE, Superintendent of Schools

Lieutenant General Doing Your Part To the graduating class of l9-42, l give you my sincere congratulations on your twelve years of achievement. You may continue on a similar plane of endeavor or you may dis- cover that honor will come only to the dynamic and energetic person. Your parents or guardians are repaid for their sacrifice by this satisfactory completion of public school education. The honors bestowed upon you because of concentrated efforts are lasting memories and the added reward to them that have your welfare at heart. The critical situation of our position in the world today should instill in each of us the grim determination to do our part. Your development of positive ideals and aims will release and direct your energy. Learn to like what you have to do. Interest will make your task so much easier. This interest may be natural or acquired by relating aims to your own activi- ties. You should do everything possible to continue your education. Whatever you do, do it Well- RAY Y. HENRY. Principal of the High School Aides-de-camp Miss Erma Harvey, Miss Willa Mae Fleming and Miss Reges Kenney.
