Always practice the golden rule. Be prudent, be patient, and persevere. Best Wishes for health and happi- ness in your chosen careers. K. F. S. Seniors : Today, you graduate. You and your loved ones look with pleasure and satisfaction up- on a milestone reached by mutual strivings. Of course, you will bear in mind that the rung of the ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to h.old your foot long enough to enable you to put the other somewhat higher. T. F. P.

To th.e Class of 1948 My Young Friends: Your high school journey is at an end. In following diligently the sign-posts along the way, and in pursuing faithfully the indicated and charted course, you have reached your destination. With graduation you start on a new journey - largely alone. The daily safe-guards and beneficent counselling, the wholesome controls and balances which your schools furnished, will no longer be at your service. You travel at your own risk, over a hazardous road. Do, be careful! What you did up till now, is not nearly so vital as what you shall do in the span ahead. What manner of men and women you are now, is not nearly so momentous as what manner of men and women you will become in the offing. Do, make your progress sure, and your dreams secure, under God's Providence. Yours sincerely, A. J. G. Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat. Longfellow. Superintendent ol: Schools Dr. A. John Goetz
