A MESSAGE FROM MR. LASHER Dear Friends of the Class of June I937: I am glad for the opportunity to offer you a word of congratulation and good wishes on the occasion of your graduation. The school is proud of the fine work you have done here, proud to have your names inscribed upon its records, and it will follow your future careers with sincere and abiding interest. You are graduates of a public school. Some one has said that a private school is a preparation for life, but a public school is life itself, You are graduates of a very large schooI, a school that has brought you into rather intimate association with thousands of your fellows and such association is an education in itself. You have learned to know and to judge others, you have learned to measure your own achievements by the achievements of your fellows. You have completed a difficult course of study. Among the many advan- tages that should follow are an understanding of the finer things of existence and the ability and the earnest desire to choose the clean, wholesome and inspiring atmosphere of the higher stretches of life's journey as you fare on into the future. Sincerely, eWiIIiam R. Lasher, Principal. I MR. RAVETTIS FAREWELL Well, it's Good-Bye time for the Class of June, I937. It's HGood-Bye to old friends, old scenes, old likes and old dislikes. You are saying IiGood-Bye to the old routine and habits of your High School years. Does it give you a thrill of satisfaction? Then I share with you your joy. Does the coming adventure into the new future leave you somewhat anxious? Then I say HGood Cheer'I and HBest of Luckf, But this is also uHeIIo time. It marks the Commencement of a new mode of life with new anticipations and new realizations. Many of you are now Iargely Iion your own, and my word to you is to carry on bravely. uKeep your eye on the ball and follow through. If you cannot become distinguished, be distinctive. If you cannot become famous, be at least a somebody. Become a personality, not just another person. And so I say IIGood-Bye to you now, with fond hope that I can later say with pride, NHeIIoI elrving V. Ravett.
