greetings lu ilge jfituheuls nf the Q1-Iiglg giicliuul It is fitting that I should take this way of expressing to you my appreciation for the fine Way in which you have helped to make this a very successful school year. The success of any school year is to be measured by the way in which you react to the problems of your every- day life. If you learn to meet your tasks cheerfully and to conquer them, if you learn to think fine thoughts and thus raise your ideal, if you learn to live happily in a com- munity and to take your responsibility to see that it is a good place to live in, then the school will be considered as meeting the demands placed upon it. The purpose of the school is to help you make the most of your possibilities. If each one of you does not use it to the best advantage, you are not being fair to your- self. This year will soon be closed. Some of you will leave high school because of graduationg others because you may not see the real value of school workg the greatest number will again return to school when the new year opens. Where-ever you are, may you have learned this year, in some measure, to love truth, to live honestly, and to work diligently. The world seeks more earnestly than ever for young men and Women with these qualities. I have faith in you, that you will meet these demands. Sincerely, E. R. STEVENS, Principal. Page 19
