Harry Ward Beecher, a noted minister and renowned speaker, once defined Educa- tion as the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty--how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. Although the writer has long since passed on, these words are still true as the day they were first uttered. Many things that we are able to do we fail to accomplish be- cause we are not resourceful enough to adapt our knowledge to the thing at hand. Other times we are too indolent to apply our training to channels needed. They say the hardest iob we mortals have is to think. Many people could easily vary their type of workif they would only be willing to think. Therefore, in the years after you have left the doors of the Eddystone High School, many times, your happiness will depend on how much time you give to the task of using the many faculties God has given you. Keep what you have learnedp and happiness, friendship, and success will be yours. -Wilmer R. Fryer 12
