Helen Bourne Faculty Adivsors ............ Miss Flugum—Mr. Norton GODSPEED Your study in high school is finished. You have learned, through training, the possibilities of hard work; through guid- ance, the wisdom of a constructive attitude toward life; and through experience, the value of suffering and self-denial. You are ready, now, to go on. Much more alone, you must meet the struggle of life, and henceforth stand upon your own re- sources, May the memories of lessons learned keep your mind alert and your heart glad with the pleasure of work. May your days be full of accomplishment, and when you meet the tasks of life that test the real measure of your worth, may you have the courage to face these situations bravely. Choose well your line of industry, business, or profession, Go forth to the battle of h man affairs, equipped with the light of knowledge, the glow of health, the armor of a strong character, and the thrill of the romance of endeavor, Animate your soul to its supreme effort and your mind to its keenest mental exertion. Keep the torch of faith and hope burning brightly in your heart. Give, and worry not about the return. Fight with the weapons of truth and justice, scorn the spoils of dishonor, and turn not back until the joys of success are yours, —-E, H.
