To THE (s LASS OF 1933 I am indeed glad to again address myself to a graduating class through the year book of 1933. There is nothing so regular and unchanging as the passage of the years. To you who are graduating it probably seems but a very short time since you came from the grade schools to the high school. It was my pleasure six years ago to officiate at that transition. So will time, with each successive marker passed in your career, and with seemingly increasing speed, pass along. Each year, indeed each day, will call for something to be done, will perhaps offer opportunity which may not come again. There will be things you like to do, things which maybe seem boring or thankless tasks. Yet they will come, one after another, in an endless procession. What have you been working for? Why, of course, to get ready to meet such varying situations. Mr. Coolidge said that his rule had been to try always to do the right thing and sometimes succeed”. Sometimes succeed”, not always, of course, but everlastingly trying. A pretty good rule, don’t you think so? Well here’s to the Class of 193 3. As you go on, may you sometimes succeed and may you always be happy in trying, whether or not the immediate goal is reached. Sincerely your friend, G. Burchard Smith, President of the Board of Education. Twelve
