GUIDING YOUTH TO A Walter H. Church, Superintendent; A.B. California State Teachers ' College; Waynesbitrg College; M.A. Washing- ton and Jefferson College; University of Pittsburgh. MR. WALTER H. CHURCH CONTAINED in the following well-arranged message are the parting words of advice from Mr. Walter H. Churcfi, Superintendent, to the Senior Class of 1939: Students, it has been said, on leaving school, quickly divide themselves into two classes— those who have learned nothing, and those who have forgotten every- thing. The individual educates himself; and the best that teachers can do is to inspire the desire for mental exercise and faith in the power of labor to develop faculty, and to open worlds which are infinite, which each individual must re- discover for himself. What has been done, you can still do. In fact, we believe the best is yet to be done. The people we call ancient were but beginners. We are the true ancients. We stand in a wider world, and move forward with more purpose along more open ways. If we are weak and inferior, the fault lies in ourselves, not in the age. The time for doing the best things is ever present. I feel perfectly safe in predicting that the accomplishments of the class of 1939 with the next twenly-five years will reveal that its philosophy is set forth in the above paragraphs. Page Light
