T0 THE SENIORS Graduation is a very important day in the lives of everyone, since it marks a beginning for some and an ending for others. Many will go on to further their educations elsewhere, while the rest will begin to make their own way, their formal education finished. For those who are going on to school, perhaps the best advice can be given in one simple word-work-not only at your studies, but in all other activities as well. Choose carefully what you wish to do, and work hard at it, thereby gaining knowledge of all kinds-eKnowledge which will be useful in your vocations, and the little scraps of information which will form an effective background for your future associations. For those who will start immediately the task of leading a useful and industrious life, again one word of advice is sufficient-learn. Learn not from books and teachers, but from your experiences and problems. Even your errors will teach you much, and through your careers and those of your friends, you will learn much which will benefit you later. A third word for all of you to follow might well be-Live. Live not in the sense of merely existing, but in the broadest meaning of the word. Make new friends, develop new habits and hob- bies, help one another and live life to the utmost, sharing the joys and trials of others, enjoying every good thing which is yours, and helping to better the world around you, With so much un- rest and unhappiness prevalent today, a person who knows how to live and to help live can do a great deal to make peace and security a reality in- stead of a dream. Many bits of advice will be given you from all sides as you go through life, but I think that these three words can help you immeasurably if you mark them well and use them-WORK, LEARN, LIVE. The future is yours me look to it.- Z .Y Harold Payson, Principal OVR FAC'lTLTY liyda liklllltlllf Eighth Grade: Eastern State Normal School. Alice Dow: Seventh Grade: Gorham Teachers College.
