MR. JOHN I-I. GILLICK, Principal To OUR GRADUATES? Like the frontiersman of yesteryear, each of you must scan the horizon as far as the eye can see in order to find new fields to explore. As he was driven on by the lure of what he could not see and by a desire to secure the land be- yond the horizon, so must you be influenced by a conviction that the years ahead offer much to all who are willing to work for success. As you leave Mount Pleasant, you should be guided by the hope that you will shortly join that group of planners and builders who fashioned and protected the glorious heritage of freedom that is yours-yours to preserve for all who are to follow. The pioneer spirit does not die for there is always a tomorrow-Tomon row, the Unknown-that day when success will reward the willing worker and crown his efforts with a halo of happiness. The honors that may come to you will be more precious and sacred if they are won on merit and in com- petition with your fellow humans, Perhaps the greatest honor in life is the tribute you pay to your own self-respect with the knowledge that you have done your work faithfully and have abided by everything that embraces good citizenship. The responsibilities of life are many and each of you will be asked to accept your share of them as well as to contribute of your time and' talents in keeping our nation happy and prosperous. Be a willing worker! Go forth into your new fields of endeavor with the knowledge that Mount Pleasant will always follow your progress and will ever rejoice in your accom- plishments, May success be yours in every undertaking of merit and may the good l-ord guide you along the road that leads to success and happiness. Verbum sat sapientif JOHN H. GILLICK, Principal
