To all the parents, friends and teachers present this evening, I am very happy to be able to extend a most cordial welcome. By attending the graduating exercises of the Class of 1931, you evince your inter- est in our High School, and I sincerely hope that you will find something so pleasing and Worthwhile in our program that your enthusiasm thus aroused will be lasting. I think that now everyone realizes that a high school education is absolutely nec- essary if one is to attain marked success. The farther one goes in higher institu- tions of learning, the better fitted he is to meet the demands of life, because it is becoming increasingly difficult to succeed in any profession without a thorough study of and training in the chosen line of work. We all have a goal for which to strive, and since it is not easy to win in any race, we need the definite assistance that only an organization similar to a high school can furnish. From our school life, We certainly learn to appreciate the value of cooperation, for only by doing our share can we be granted special privileges. We also form social contacts which have their own peculiar importance. The most beneficial result, however, is the training which we receive in the course We have pursued through our own inclination. The curricula presented to us for our choice are: Commercial Household Arts, Manual Training, Gen- eral, and College Preparatory. From the very names, it is easily understood that a widely varied field of study is offered, and 7 something which appeals to his inclina- tion. The Commercial Course offers the field of preparation for obtaining a business position. Future accountants, typists, stenographers, and bookkeepers receive a thorough training in their respective lines of Work. After leaving high school, many will probably go farther, and if they have mastered their initial instructions they will surely discover that they have a firm foundation on which to stand. Thus, the High School does its part in contributing towards a bigger and better business world. The Household Arts Course, as its name implies, is intended to assist the homemakers of the future in preparing themselves for the task which is awaiting them. In these days of financial depres- sion, when it is necessary to practice econ- omy in everything, it is very fitting that the girls should be instructed in the art of managing homes. They are taught to ply the needle skilfully and to make arti- cles of wearing apparel. They also learn to become proficient in culinary duties, and through experience they acquire the ability to serve dainty as well as hearty repasts. In addition, they have a course in home nursing. Some of these girls will undoubtedly enter other institutions of learning, preferably Normal School, and certainly no one can assert that the High School does not do its best to give them a definite background. The purpose of the Manual Training curriculum is to instruct the boys to be- come adept and efficient in the art of manipulating tools. They are taught not
