Greetings to Our Graduates: It gives me great pleasure to congratulate and commend you on your splendid achievementff-the fact that you have attained your first major goal in life-graduation from high school. Today you are numbered among our nation's 62W of students who have completed their secondary education--and to me this is indicative of your ability to complete whatever you set out to do. That is one of life's greatest assets. Your education thus far has pointed out to you the way of life in which we be- lieve' -the democratic way of life. In a democracy we too often talk about our rights and privileges, and too rarely do we talk about our duties and responsibilities. For every right or privilege is a comparable responsibility. The future of our great nation rests on the quality of its citizens. We must rely upon education to prepare our youth for good citizenship. Along with the congratulations and honors which you reccive on graduation day, I am sure you are cognizant of the newer, greater responsibility which you must assume from this date forth. You must continue to show a concern for the welfare of others and for the institutions which have made America what it is today-a resepct for home. school. church. and our American economic system. With the tools of intelligence with which you are now armed, you should participate fully, actively, and intelligently in the activities of our community and nation. This is the very essence of democracy. In conclusion, may I point out the four things necessary to acquire a well-balanced emotional life,-f-WORK, PLAY, LOVE, AND RELIGION. None of the four should over-balance the others. Therefore, take great pride in honest work well doneg devote time to wholesome play and recreationg love something--parents, friends. a cat or dogg and, remain faithful to the religious principles learned in youth. This is the very essence of happiness. Cordially, GORDON C HUMBERT, Superintendent of Schools. 0 Q 0 Gordon G. Humbert, B.S.. M.A. Ohio State University Superintendent of Schools Harry A.
