GRADUATION from high school marks the close of one chapter and the commencement of another in your life. Twelve years of school experience begins to fade into the land of yesterday. What have they meant to you? Among other things, I trust that you have learned the art of making friends, that you have acquired a deeper insight and a keener appreciation of the world in which you live, broader sympathies, a tolerance for the opinions of others, and the ability to solve problems. This implies the capacity to think and to act constructively both for your- self and for your fellow man. I further hope that each of you in his own way has gained a greater confidence in himself, experienced the joy of success, and lived more abundantly. You now pass from the shelter- ed environment of your high school into the great world outside. And may l remind you that al- though a good beginning is ex- ceedingly important, the ability to finish is even more important. You are all aglow with enthusiasm and great resolutions as you set forth, but how will you be as the days wear on and the daily grind grows a bit monotonous? Life is much like taking a voyage. lt is when you are riding the high seas with the waves dashing all about you that the true test comes. Are you going to allow yourself to become dis- couraged, and to quit, or are you made of the stuff that doesn't begin to fight until the sailing gets rough? Success in life will depend not so much upon your intellectual acumen as it will upon your ability to get along with people, to take criticism with a smile and to profit by it, to be honest and square in all your dealings, and to cooperate with others in the solution of common problems. This day l usher you to your post of duty on the Ship of Life as she steams forth from the harbor of H. H. S., and I sincerely hope and trust that each suc- ceeding year will find you, a sailor, better able to weather the gales that blow. Farewell, and may the blessings of God be ever with you. LEMUEL R. IOHNSTON, Principal.
