To the Class of 1950: You have reached another important step in your career. After living and working together in High School, you should be better able to judge values of life and to ask yourself the age old question . . . what is the most important thing in life? Men differ in the answer to this question, but life is a straight, plain business, and the way is clear, blazed for you by genera- tions of strong men. Let their labours and ideals be your inspiration. Carlyle once said, Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance but to do what lies clearly at hand.” In your High School, from which you are about to be graduated, you have played an important role as a student and a citizen. May you always hold high the ideals for which it stands. To all of you, I extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes for your future success. E. H. LeBARRON, Superintendent.
