Whatever could l e secured in the way of better equipment or better teaching that would make education for you more vital and valuable has been at your disposal. I he school has tried to help you master at least one language. It has stood ready to awaken your interest in the liest literature. Through class room and laboratory it has prepared to introduce you to the laws of science. Through classes in historv it, not only has drawn aside the curtain so that those who would might In-come acquainted with the past out of which this confused present has come, but it has also pointed the way to cooperation and social usefulness in our own day. It has been ready to teach those who cared to learn how to use some of the tools and machines of industry, and it has always insisted that, valuable as such skill of hand or brain might be. what a person is, is of more consequence than what he knows. All these things and more the school has been eager to do for you. Seek always to better yourselves, and lie determined to lit yourselves for intelligent citizenship by every further means of education at your disposal. Being graduated into a world so completely upset by war demands your special consideration of the future. Remember that what we, as a country, are striving for is to maintain our ideals of democracy and to strengthen our practices of those ideals. War is a temporary agency of turmoil, hardships and heartaches—Democracy, we hope, will be a permanent institution of mankind. It requires real character on the part of citizens to maintain free democratic government. Keep informed. . . and demonstrate your belief that the noblest motive is the public good. Show that you have vision, character and a devotion to the public welfare for the control of our great country will be passing into the hands of you graduates one day and we want to lx proud of your stewardship. Hartford High School is going to miss your class and its accomplishments. I am going to miss you. As this is my last message to a graduating class, as Principal of our school, I want to say with the deepest sincerety that I will also miss all potential graduates, now members of the lower classes at Hartford High. .......
