WILLIAM F. GRANT Principal STRATIGN The pleasure of publicly addressing the Class of i944 has been denied me this year. The reasons are numerous, not the least of them being your crowded schedules and changes in teaching personnel. Your ranks to date have been sadly depleted, and will become gradually less as the school term draws to a close. The rapid changes that confront you from day to day are, oftentimes, so confusing that you are apt to lose sight of the larger objectives you set when your high school careers began. lt is difficult for you to realize that our present period of unrest is merely an interim in your so very young lives. ln a word, the green of the hills ahead cannot be appreciated because of the rough valleys that must be first traversed. On the other hand the opportunities for monetary gain are so immediate and attractive as to shadow the bright future that can be obtained by education and diligence. You have already seen a great number of those who started high school with you succumb to the blandishments of present day big money. The desire to get it now has been too strong for many of them to overcome. You, perhaps, have questioned the wisdom of your choice in remaining at school, when you could be partaking of our present prosperity. Such abundance may be but temporary. Your education is permanent, and surely is no great burden to carry. Envy not the prosperity of others! Regret not your decision to stay in school as long as possible! Regret is for oldsters. l-lope and faith in the future is for you. WILLIAM F. GRANT
