UF FRIENDSHIPS This friend is old and cherished. With him I'vc quarreled and laughed And cried and talked And sat in long silences More intimate than ISIC-2-ICICS. Our friendship sometimes waned Then waxed again with a meeting Or a letter across aeons of space. The times we were apart Were only asterisks between The stanzas of a poem. What strong bond held us? A novel read and liked Or not liked . . . a concert Heard together . . . gossip . . . A squabble and making up, An amused meeting of eyes Over another's headg The time I hummed a song And he joined in . . . his Christmas tide From Pagan India . . . The other souvenirs Sent to one another From travels in a foreign land, A wager made and lost Over the current election, His I-Ialloo! across the hills And mine echoing back. A puny bond? Perhaps, But none the less He is my friend.

Pa., .A.,, I I 1 I l DR. ARTHUR G. HIGHGATE LADDI12 RASKA CHARLES BRAINARD BUAHIJ UF EDUCATION men to operate the Industries that 'fabricate these raw materials into the necessary finished products. Many industries are now running one shift today when orders now booked would warrant the addition of one and in many instances two shifts. In the de- velopment of these new Industries which will be the basis for the new economy that will follow this defense period there are greater opportunities and openings than ever beckoned to the pioneer of the middle nineteenth century. You are entering into the Golden Era. The Board of Education of Grant Community High School, District No. 124, extends greetings and congratulations to the class of 1941 on the completion of its four year high school course. You have completed a carefully planned educational cur- riculum, running through the eight years of grade school and four years of high school, which was planned to prepare and thoroughly equip you for your future, and to teach you how to live and enioy your adult years. The doors of college beckon and welcome some of the more fortunate among you. To these we hope the splendid opportunities for higher education will lead you to put forth the very best that is in you, in order that you will reap the greater benefits. The training that college offers for advancement in specialized work enables the student to come out of school with a broad and comprehensive foundation on which to build. To you who will go into the field of Industry, we Wish to point out that the opportunities presented today for individual success are perhaps the greatest in the history of the United States. In the field of industrial production and executive lead- ership there have never been greater openings than there are to- day. We have come out of the ten worst years in the history of the country insofar as economic depressions were concerned. During this period Industry trained practically no new men, due to the fact that many of those trained in the '20's were unable to secure work. These men were absorbed into Industry on the retirement and death of the older workers. There was no reason why Industry should train new men when trained men were available. Our leaders in the present Defense Program have stated that bottle necks which have developed have not been due to insuffi- cient raw materials, but have been due to inability to secure WILLIAM G NAGIE WILLIAM TONYANI ARTHUR G.
