COUNCILORS On the eve of our graduation we must pause to give a word of thanks to the members of the faculty who have so valiantly stood by us during our four years in high school. Because of their under- standing and sympathetic co-operation we have come to regard our teachers as valued friends. We have been diligently taught the formal subjects but none has been of such lasting value as the lessons in courage, cheerfulness, and perseverance which we have learned from the examples set by our teachers. They have patiently injected into our thoughts the fine ideals of loyalty, truth, and honesty which we must strive to attain. They also made us aware that we must combat injustice, bigotry, and intolerance. We wish to express our deep gratitude for the high standards of honor, knowledge, and service which you have constantly kept before us. It is for us to endeavor to follow your splendid example and justify your hopes in us. We turn toward the future with bright and hopeful faces; but we look back sadly on our carefree days in high school. As we prepare to face the dangers of the world today we shall keep within our hearts the lesson you have taught us and we shall gratefully remem- ber the help you lent us. Social Studies [ I»]
