p Kim -P p p ■P GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1936 ThE Voyageur presents a word and picture story of your service to Freeport High School and is destined therefore to become one of your most treasured possessions. May it ever remind you of loyal devotion to truth, honor, and learning. The works of your class, your clubs and your organizations are recorded here. The reward for service is not only the pride which comes from such an outstanding record but is also something that is developed inside you which makes for character. This is Commencement time. The splendor of its exercises, the excitement of success is enough to make any graduate glad and happy. But in reality Commencement warns the graduate that he is to become a front line participant in the work just ahead. In a happy life, as in a happy school, there is always an abundance of service. There was a time when the world gave the greatest honors to the strongest man, to the greatest thinker, or to the one with the greatest wealth. Today, however, the individual, for complete success in life, must add to all his other good qualities a willingness to be of service. He profits most who serves best. Best Wishes and Success to each member of the Class of 1936. JOHN W. DODD, Superintendent of Schools. Thirteen

|hE one conspicuous and fatal lack in our time is the power to bring the mind into focus, to think hard and close, to concentrate on some problem and never give up until it is mastered. At this Commencement period, therefore, every senior may well ask himself this question: Is my mind like a blurred and confused photograph which has been taken by a camera out of focus, or have I developed the powers of concentration which enable me to bring my mind into sharp focus? A large number from your class have distinguished themselves on the athletic field. They have been able at the crucial moment to concentrate their total personality on the game. Others have had equal success in the fields of journalism, dramatics, clubs, and in the classroom. Your high school has done its best to prepare you for full, complete, and successful living. Your ability to think clearly, honestly, and persistently will in large measure determine your success in the future. That you may truly succeed is my wish for each and every member of the class of 1936. MARTIN M. MANSPERGER, Principal. Fourteen
