The Meaning of Your Diploma Over one hundred young men and fwomen receive diplomas from the lllonongahela High School in June. The members of this class have dipped deeply into the frag-es of history, literature, language, science, mathematics, and many other ,helds of activity. The subjects have been mastered, the courses have been completed and the diplomas afwarded, yet many of the members of the class never again will be called ujfon to solve an equation in algebra, give the syntax of a Latin verb, or 1-erform many of the other experiments that fwere solved in the classroom. In the mastery of this work' four years of time has been spent, and doubtless, in many cases, a great sacrifice has been made. Has this been a -waste of time? This question has been in the minds of many students, parents, and others. The answer is decidedly, No! In his progress through the various steps of the High School, the student has discovered the contributions that men and fwomen have made for the swel- fare of society, he has lived with the great leaders of antiquity, the generals, the inventors, the scientists, and the great social leaders. He has obLserved those traits of character that have led to the success of these individuals, that have made their names immortal. He has noted the dangers that lurk in the back- ground, that have meant the destruction of men and nations, and consciously or unconsciously, in this experience he has discovered for himself and others his own poswers and possibilities. The members of this class have had the oppor- tunity for self-choosing, for self-judging, for self-controlling and for self- governing, and have acquitted themselves in such a manner that they have been considered fworthy of the diploma of Monongahela High School, which is the expression of our confidence in them. Each member of the class has developed habits of industry, has disclosed the jlofwers of mastery, has discovered the rela- tionship that should exist among the members of society, has proven his charac- ter, and as he leaves, he leaves fwith us the assurance that his life practices will be pursued with intelligence, to the end that society 1-will benefit through his con- tributions. - YOHN H.
