jo 57442 gracfuafing 64155 f HAMBURG HIGH SCHOOL has done what it could for you. It has attempted to supply you with the tools of learning cmd some skill in using them. It has tried to give you an appreciation of the true, the beautiful. and the good. It has set up standards of manners and morals, suitable for a civilized society. It has furnished the stage for an intellectual adventure,-the only one, alas!, that many of the class will ever experience. Now you are leaving us and we look to the future in fear and anxiety. Will many members of this class, as so many have before, succumb almost immediately to the tremendous pressure of contemporary paganism and materialism? Will a few short years change the fresh hopefulness of youth to the cynical skepticism of maturity? We l:now what happens to many of our graduates. Will the same thing happen to some of you? We look at your pleasant, happy faces aligned in joyous phalanx in the body of this book. Will you all be honest and virtuous men and women, and will that honesty and virtue in part be due to the fact that you attended Hamburg High School? We wish that our experience could give us a more hopeful answer. But this we do know,-that some of you will be an honor and a glory to the community in which you will live and to the school that helped to train you. At present we can hope the best for each one of you, and with this last desperate hope we greet you at this Commencement time. Nine . 1...-an-l.
