TIIE ECHO Rfdl .Z 065.0 On Parting E have now completed our four years of high school training, with the many pleasant associations they have brought to us. Presently, we shall go into the world to accept greater responsibilities, yet with less supervision and guidance. During our years in F. H. S. boundless opportunities have been offered for participation in all kinds of work and play. As a class, we have usually taken advantage of these opportunities, and have profited greatly, therefrom. Many members of our class have expended their time and energy in forwarding the work of established organizations, and in initiating new features into our school life. These individuals, and those who have cooperated with them, have derived the greatest benefit from our associational living. In the same way, we shall find it to be true in the outside world :-thatithe benefits derived from any project depend primarily upon the amount of work and interest devoted to it. As a consequence of our participation in the life of our school, we have developed to a varied degree, certain character traits. lVe have learned, through our active interest in the school, the value of cooperation with our associates. Vtfe may now say, and justly, that we have graduated from high school. But we should consider this as only a milestone in our educational career. The lessons we have learned, both in the classroom and outside, should be carried into our future work. The text-book education which we have accumulated will prove to be of varying value to each of us. However, the knowledge we- have gained of the experi- ences of the human race should aid us in taking our places as clear-thinking, discriminating citizens of the community. It is a challenging world which faces us. Economic and social conditions are in a state of disastrous and prolonged unrest. It depends on us, as part of the coming generation, to evolve and work out some solution to these great problems. It is impossible to outline any special program to be followed. However, I feel sure that if we continue to apply the habits of research, inquiry, open-mindedness, study, and cooperation, which we have learned in Flemington High School, we shall become intelligent and worth-while factors in the restoration of normal and well-ordered prosperity. My parting advice then, to you, my classmates, is this. VVork hard and play hard. Do not shirk your apparent duty, and do not be afraid to appraise your short-comings. Cooperate with your fellow-men, and you will be 'amazed at the results achieved. Bear always in mind that what you receive from life is, in most instances, measured in direct proportion to what you put into life. ELMER C. HAVER, President of the Class of I9 32 16
