PAUL R. MILLER Principal The time since the wood of the dogwood tree was used by the Indians to make ar- rows to the present, when it is used for a superior charcoal in the manufacture of gunpowder, is not so great as is the gap between the way our great-great-grand- father spent his life and the way we spend ours. Our ancestors lived out their lives sui- rounded by friends and neighbors who lived nearby. Travel was a great hardship, and formal education was for the few. Grand- father came to his job through apprentice- ship to a craftsman in the trade followed by his father and his father's father. Today we hear of happenings on the other side of the world as rapidly as we hear the news of our own neighborhood and town and country. We know a vast number of people. We think nothing of traveling a thousand miles in a day. Everyone goes to Principa school, and some even learn a great many worthwhile things. We no longer believe that because the father was a plumber the son must naturally follow that trade. An honest attempt is being made to find each student's natural bent and to guide him in choosing the course of study which will help him to succeed in his chosen field. The world spins along on its track, bring- ing each season in its turn. The leaves of the dogwood are dropping from the tree when school starts in the fall, and the dog- wood is in blossom when graduation comes 'round in the spring. While the dogwood can be counted on to blossom every spring, we can only hope that our graduates have learned to use the tools for living that we are able to supply and will blossom out into happy and mature adults, contributing to the life of the community.
