PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To the Members of the Class of 1940: I feel that nothing that I could say could possibly be more fitting or appropriate for you at this time than the following words by W. C. Cameron: “We talk of choosing a vocation, but often the vocation chooses us. “The work which you are to do may not have appeared on earth yet. Many men high in the automobile world did not know as young men just what they were to be— the automobile world had not yet been born. You may be destined for some sphere of work that is yet to swim into our ken. “But waiting for it is not getting ready for it. You must do what you can. keep learning all you can, buckle into any decent thing that offers—and keep doing something when nothing offers, if only to maintain your standing in the mystical world of work—and then at some turn of the most unpromising road, out of some ambushed hour, there will come an inner ‘click, and you and your work will be together. It s a great experience!. “We have seen so many men quit just before the thing they sought arrived; it came seeking them, and they were not there. They quit too soon; It is always too soon to quit. “You are to be congratulated on vour commencing at a time that challenges your mettle. You are fortunate young people. The future that stands at your threshold promises to treble all present possibilities. We. the faculty and the students of Hartford High School, will miss you and will always be interested in knowing when, where and how you “clicked. Sincerely yours H. C. Holland.
