Superintendent of Schools To Students of Luverne High School: Knew yourself for you are important. You are your own most important teacher, since you alone knew what you really think and accept. You must commit yourself to the highest and best, for this will mean the difference between success and failure. These are the years of forming and shaping your personality, opinions, ambitions and beliefs. Do not underestimate their importance. Someday soon you will be stepping into an adult world and then you shall recognize the fact that these years guide the final outcome of your life. What you do now will determine your success or failure later. It is hoped that the guidance, counsel, and care that have been given to you will help to formulate your future. Do your tasks as well as you knew how. Remember life gives the final examination—the one that really counts. 4

If we had known you less we would not grieve Seeing the year its course has nearly run. We would be glad our task Is almost done. Glad for the bit of rest we shall receive. It would not trouble us to see you leave; And, walking through the halls class- rooms where We meet so often now, their emptiness Would not oppress us when you are not there. It would not matter much; We would not care;— If we had known you less. But we have watched your minds hearts grow strong. Pitted against the problems of the hour; And we have felt a deep, upwelling power. As, like a mighty wave, you surge along Into the future, where your lives belong,— The radiant future, where your dreams will grow And flower and fruit upon some distant shore. To watch your progress there we may not 90, But we rejoice in prospect even so, Knowing the promise you have shown before. Certain of its fulfillment more and more. Lowell E.
