Free Schooling furnished by the state is not so much a right granted the pupils, as a duty imposed upon them for the public good ...” You have completed the first formal step of your education successfully. If you had been attending school about 1500, you would know everything about everything. No longer is this pos- sible. The challenges of our society, facing you and your genera- tion, are immense. To solve them will take your idealism, ad- ditional knowledge, experience, and desire. The “public good” is dependent upon you. We wish you well. Paul Rommelmann Principal MR. CARL HEFNER Trustee MR.
