Dear Students: Once more, we have almost reached the end of a school year. Many of you will prove that self-discipline, ambi- tion, determination and effort have their reward. Always remember your parents, who made sacrifices for you and encouraged you along the way. Seniors, you are urged to continue your education. Remem- ber that faith in one's self is important but faith without work is not enough. To each of you, we hope that your experiences during school will help you to develop further into mature, competent, conscientious and loyal citizens. I am proud to have been your Superintendent and to have shared some of your experiences. Sincerely yours, 97. Gy attete Marland H. Mallette Board of Cducation J. L. Brown At Large E. A.

He was first to volunteer, while brilliant boys demurred, he took the oath of loyalty without a faltering word, and then we found that he could talk, for one remembered night, he heard a young pacifist denouncing our boys who fight. He got up in uni- form and looked at him and said: T wonder if you ever think about our soldiers dead, all that you are today, you owe some soldier in his grave; if he had been afraid to fight you'd probably be a slave. ‘ If he had died a year ago beneath a peaceful sky, unjust our memory would have been; of him our tongues would lie. But now he stands among us all, eyes bright and shoulders true, a strong defender of the faith; a man with work to do; and if he dies, his name shall find its place on history's scroll; the great chance has re- THE PROOF OF A MAN IS THE DANGER TEST, vealed to us the splendor of his soul.
