A Message To The Class Of 1944 RUSSELL B. MARSHALL, Principal A S graduates of Lawrence High School, you are ready to go on with your education. Some of you will be fortunate enough to go to college; others to work, and many of the boys to the various branches of the armed services. All of you will come in con- tact with many new people. They may disappoint you by their lack of appreciation in your scholarly attainments. They will, however, look to see how practical you are. These people will know that your education has put the tools in your hands; they will watch to see what use you make of them. The way you use the tools is what counts, and this in turn depends on the industry, the thoughtfulness, the experience, and the good judg- ment of you — the user. There has never been a time when there was such a need for young people of ability. The chaotic conditions throughout the world today offer a challenge to each of you and give you a chance to use the tools that we hope you possess. Your country to- day is depending on all of the young people. It is a young man’s war, a young people’s world. Your future and the future of us all depend upon the proper use of your train- ing and experience. As you face the many challenges that you will meet, we here at Lawrence High School hope that we have contributed something that will enable you to meet these challenges successfully.
