PRINCIPAIQS MESSAGE RESEARCH: Continued and careful investigation, the systematic and open- minded examination, or any fact by experiment. I have been asked to write a few words to you seniors for your yearbook, the BLUE G GRAY. I might well cite the above simple definition of the theme for your book, RESEARCH, and stop with that, but there are one or two things l should like to emphasize and call to your attention. While engines of destruction and other means of annihilation of human beings have resulted from RESEARCH, yet, let us remember the great progress that has been made by RESEARCH in the fields of eradication of disease, of pain, of human misery: the improvements in com- munication and transportation, the inventions for the lessening of human clrudg- ery: the broadening of our educational programs. Let us also remember that most of these things have existed first in the minds and hearts of men and women as dreams and ideals before they became actualities. Let us have our dreams, our ideals, our careful investigations, our open-minded- ness, our search for new knowledge, our experiments, in a word our RESEARCH for those things that make for progress and human betterment. Mr. Crooke is ot special interest to the graduating class of 1940 because he became principal at the time the class entered. Students have been able to watch the school improve and expand under his guidance during these four years.
