MR. JOHN J. KEHOE MR. BOYD MR. KEHOE he student who makes the goal of four years of high school merely commencement or a diploma has lost much, because even though these are desirable and propitious goals, they are by far not the most valuable attainments. Knowledge, the ability to think, the acquisition of worth while skills, the attainment of desirable attitudes and wholesome appreciations are much more useful to the individual as he matures. These things are the by- products gleaned from the energy employed in the lessons, the tests, the work and the struggles of everyday school life. Learning is continuous all through life: commencement is just a sign that a student passes one or more times during a successful educational career. My sincerest wishes to each of you at this important time in your life. I. I. KEHOE l7l
