Q 1 922: 3 5 P A TOAST Here's to the youth of Galion High Loyal, brave, and true! Here's to their goals and achieve- ments nigh, Sought with courage new. THE LURE OF EDUCATION The Lure of Education chal- lenges the student to interpret the facts of the great world about him. Facts are of little value in them- selves. Power to interpret situations, life, and the world is more impor- tant than to know about them. We are asking for information-- we are seeking facts-but too often we are unable to understand them. The great things of life have come through the right interpretation of simple elementary principles. R. D. Conrad Supt. of Schools '23 EDUCATION Education, aside from the acquisi- tion of knowledge which it implies, exercises everlasting influence on the factors of conduct. The Senior who is well trained both mentally and morally will have absorbed these fac- tors in addition to the elements of knowledge. You have learned the fundamental laws of nature and their operations but you have learned more, for, you have learned to love nature and art, and to abhor wrong as well as emulate good. Your life has become enlarged, strengthened and improved by the experience in Galion Senior High School but you must be able to gather and vitalize the greater problems of life with the fundamental elements and basic prin- ciples that underlie your education. It will require the fullest develop- ment and greatest activity to dis- charge properly the functions of your life. Although such mental develop- ment greatly enlarges duties and re- sponsibilities it likewise multiplies the joys of living and increases the hopes and ambitions of your future. May these factors strengthen you by the formation of proper habits which are the worthwhile things to be taken from any High School. ' W. L. Swick, Prin. of High School

The successful boy or girl is the first to sieze Opportunity. Delay too long to consider and She is gone and it is too late. Opportunity is one of three things which do not come back: The spoken word: the past lifeg and neglected opportunities. Do not wait for Opportunity to come to you, but go and seek her. Numberless opportunities fall under our eyes. If we but have eyes to see them and hands to pick them up. The falling apple was the oppor- tunity for Newton to solve the secret of gravitationg a Iioating seaweed fioating by his vessel enabled Columbus to pacify a mutinous crew and to inspire his men with the promise of a new continentg a jumping tea-kettle lid aroused the boy's curiosity and resulted in the giant of industry--the steam engineg a kite and key in Franklin's hand was the germ that resulted in our modern electrical inventions. There never existed more opportunities than there are in our age, and may the Class of 1928 embrace theirs and make the most of them. Opportunity is the flower of time, and as the stock remains after the liower is cut off, so time may be with us when Opportunity is gone forever. A. J. Monroe, President, Board of Education 14
