AZ It is a privilege to ex- tend on these pages our heartiest greet- ings to all students of Farragut and espe- cially to those for whom this year is their last in our High School. In this volume of the Log we commemorate the fact that the school bears the name of David Glasgow Farragut who not only served his country as Admiral in the Navy, but who led a life which holds much of inspiration for all youthful Americans. He entered the Naval service at the age of nine, and at the age of twelve commanded a boat. He continued to assume responsibilities and rapidly rose to higher positions. In our complex life today we do not enter service at such early SKIPPEB' ESSAGE years. It is necessary that we prepare our- selves more thoroughly because our civil- ization is more complicated and our indus- trial processes more involved. We can, how- ever, display the same desirable traits of character, emphasizing responsibility, ini- tiative, and perseverance in our daily duties. As we do this from day to day we shall give the best assurance of maintain- ing those qualities in the future and rend- ering acceptable service to our country. It is because the stu- dents at Farragut have been displaying these desirable attitudes and encouraging us by their aims and actions that we are especially happy to include our greeting in this volume dedicated to the great Admiral of the Civil War.
