s a' ombrerofj 1 l My dear Students : Again you have reached the 'fparting ot' the wuysn. You are going out into American life. You should have learned after three years in high school that there are certain things expected of you as an American Uitizen. Uon't forget that a good citizen doesn't go daft on rights and privileges. Just remember there are responsibilities and obligations. There are too many people in the world today who want to boss others. They have never learned to govern themselves. Put your emphasis on your job, not on what you like or dislike. You can 't succeed at any job without hard work. Therefore, I would udmonish you to go out in life and achieve for yourselves and for Main Avenue High School. Faithfully yours.

X K .-.t!j ' a wavfjre-c 1w-a e V ft' Y,-JESS-L' 1 :X ombrero I Dear Students: Down through the ages men have been admirers of nobilityg not the false nobility which often accompanies the pomp and pageantry of monarchs, but that true nobility which so many times rises from the most obscure places and comes'from dark misfortunes and difficulties. Men with great characters and high ideals have arisen in every period of history and have shown the world that real nobility comes only from hard tasks that teach courage and from humble surroundings which develop sympathy. It is on these two great traits that character is built. So, remembering this, may you leave Main Avenue High School with lofty ideals and high aspirations. May life itself with its varied experiences bring you the courage and sympathy that will make the world know you are truly descendants of royalty. Let us remember, too, that on each one of us depends the future progress of our state and country and upon each one rests the respon- sibility of teaching our 'tbrother that onlv service to others can make men's lives reflect the true nobility to which so U .my aspire. Faithfullly yours, Vice-Principal. i 4,1 -if, Page 19
