HARRY E. FAHEL Prcsirlelzl BOARD OF EDUCATION A MESSAGE TO STUDENTS . As president of the Meadville board of education, it is my pleasure to cxtend to the class of l938 the greetings and good wishes of the board. To provide the proper facilities for the education of the boys and girls of the high school has challenged the citizens of this city. These citizens. through their agents, the members of the school board, have pro- vided a modern, well-equipped high school building and a well-trained staff of instructors. The aim of the citizens and the board of education has been to keep step with Current demands in the field of education. How well the citizens of the community and the board of education have done their duty will be determined, in the final analysis. not by the number of classrooms and laboratories provided, not by the number of good instructors appointed, but by the achievements of the graduates them- selves. If the young men and young Women who are graduated from the Meadville High School prove themselves to be good citizens of the com- munity, the members of the board of education will feel that they have received a fitting reward for their labors. It is the hope and expectation ofthe board that the members of the class of l938 will he such citizens. HARRY E. FABEL. -lRED AND BLACK O

FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS . . . You step, on June 8. into a new world complete with vast possibilities for useful- ness and enjoyment. However, on June 9 you will find that you are again a freshman. Life will be your school. Education is not founded on the idea that in a few brief years it can give to everyone all the knowledge needed for a useful and interesting life. ln fact, most educators realize that high schools should last at least two years longer to provide even for the bare necessities of vocational competence. For cultural competence and the ability to think calmly and efficiently about one's problems of adjustment, a whole lifetime of study is required. The public schools have done their best for you for twelve years. The sponsors of your education ask in return only a freshened, invigorating addition to the citizen- ship of a great nation. With all the theories and doctrines espoused for curing its economic ills, the government of a free people depends always upon its informed, ambitious but considerate school graduates. The provision for twelve years of school- ing involves this responsibility for good citizenship. One senior class has attained notoriety by the motto G'W. P. A., here we comela' However, the records show for our graduates a far better fate. Your economic adjust- mcnt, wherever you are, will be a measure of your zeal, sincerity, and ability. The school looks to you, personally, to carry out the fine record of its graduates in this respect. So, to the sesquicentennial class, three good wishes, a well-read. studious life, good citizenship, and economic success. This is the school's prescription for you. Farewell! FREDERICK L. PoNn.
