es.. f sE ':ff'f fi C. S. RISDON, Superintendent Superintendent C. S. Risdon has been at the head of the Independence public school system for the past twenty-three years. During this time he has built up one of the foremost school systems in Kansas, if not in the entire west. He has been the Constant Coun- cellor and advisor of the students and he always has their best interests at heart.

It is through his efforts that our schools have received the national reputation, that they now enjoy. Page 9 - N,.....s , . , ..1,n,,,,, .C C, rr V v !:,Lr'N m F-..fs.,t L - M sf fi, 'W'-'Q

'I' ' 'X' ' ' f'Q' 'W ii has l yf ' ,fv '57 To My Boys and Girls, Greetings: The hour has again arrived for closing the books and the taking of a trial balance. For some of you the audit covers but a year of endeavor, for the seniors, it compasses four years. Yesterday is gone, the ledgers are closed, no more entries can be made or none erased. Tomorrow, rich in promise, invites us to open new accounts, but our entries of yesterday remain fixed and irrevo- cable. They are permanent chapters in our book of life be they classics or be they rubbish. In years to come, strains and echoes arising from these experi- ences will strike on our hearts and ears be they symphonies or be they jazz. Painstaking or careless, we are all weaving our tapestry of life. Into it is woven our ideals, our aspirations, our yearnings, our hopes, our victories and our defeats. So school is more than a preparation for life, it is a most vital sector of life. It is an amalgamation of basic material and architectural skill which constitutes the foundation upon which the whole of life's superstructure is builded. In the main, we feel that this is a year of large dividends to you. You have grown in mental stature, you have experienced the dicipline of earnest endeavor, habits of constructive application to your tasks have crystallized, and best of all you have been happy, Wholesome, loyal, lovable boys and girls. Of all the harmonies that arise from the world of men, that roll and swell and reverberate amid the celestial spheres until they mingle with the oratorios of the choir invisible, I believe no strains are so clear or melodies so sweet to the ear of the Infinite as are the voices of our pure hearted, hopeful, trusting boys and girls. Whether you go to college or to what the world terms work, my heart goes with you. It will rejoice at your victories and I hope buck you up in hours of defeat. For discouragements will come. Yet, only to evaluate your metal, obstacles to test and build your strength, life's cruciblelto purge and refine your character. To the end, the law of compensation holds true. Earnest, persistent endeavor brings its ultimate reward. Only by giving do we receive. There is a destiny that makes us brothers: None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own. So stand firm to your ideals and steadfast to your purposes, hit the line with your last ounce of energy and grit, and you must win. C. S. RISDON, Superintendent. Page 10 . ' ' ...J 1 Ax 4T1f 4 PC-f'
