O the Graduates in the Class of 1938: The one institution that controls the steady and progressive How of industrial, commercial, and civic life of America is the school system. Buying power, the preservation of our democratic institu- tions, the maintenance of the American Standards of Life-these and many other values are rooted in the Education of Youth. As Educa- tion's hand controls America, so does the hand of the graduate control Education, for to-day's youth becomes tomorrow's men of affairs. Real progress in the world is slow. It is the orderly process of evolution, of education. Each century God gives the World three new generations, but only three steps forward in a hundred years. In this slow but steady and sure process, it is necessary to take the first step before the opportunities of the second become visible. Life's treasures lie around the corner. Your life is one of these steps, if you take it. As you move forward, others following after you may see the light. It is a privilege and a duty today for you to hold aloft the torch of American Ideals, of Liberty, of Education, of Industry, of Human Betteridentg and as you do, God will endow you and your generation with? rich heritage of success, happiness, and peace. May this be younfyurpose in life. 4 if-fWade E. Miller. p,f .J . ui f I I, 4' I 5 if Q Q Q 1 I B. A., HEIDELBERG n if M. A., OH10 STATE I ' I K if .gf WADE E. MILLER Principal 13
