77h,?4e!' , 1,945,404 To the Seniors: lwant to thank you for your cooperation and understanding during the past three years which have made our educational achievements pleasant---fo me, at least, and I hope also for you, But now we must look into the future, 1 future which, l hope, will bring you happiness and success in the truest sense ol these words. To achieve this it is good to remember three things: first, real happiness is founr in helping others. Secondly, success is attained in achievement, NOT in recognition There is little REAL success in seeking recognition for your accomplishments, but then is ABUNDANT success in feeling that something worthwhile has been achieved evel though it may go entirely unnoticed. Victories, in themselves, do not necessarily make you suc- cessful. ln fact, at times, it is possible to achieve more in defeat. An old saying among stout- hearted athletes is, lt is how you play the game that counts. And you will do well to remembe this as you look into the future. Do your very best at all times in all that you attempt. And third, learn how to fall. As you go through life, you will, in various ways, fall fron time to time. There is a proper way to fall as athletes so well learn in football: fight the battli hard until you fall---then relax before you hit. This will keep you from being broken so that yo' can fight again. The same principle holds true for the battles of life: do everything you possiblj can with the help of God, relax when you fall so that it won't hurt too much, then get up and givi this world of ours everything you have and, with faith in yourself and in God, you will find botl happiness and success in the finest sense of these words. Sincerely, WRU

From commencement day on you'Il be aveling in different directions. . .some of you into your work, and others into further 'eparation for what you would like to do eventually. This is a good time in your life to stop and think about what kind of person au would like to be ten, twenty, thirty years from now, and to consider what you'd ke to be doing then. Other people have contributed a great deal to your lives. we members of your families, the people with whom you have associated in school, the 'uurch group to which you belong, and the gangs with which you travel have all helped to lake you what you are today.
