flwudenz' Gamma! 5 r With ourrhigh school days already a thing of the past we of the 1948 graduating class begin to look forward to a future far different from the comparative seclusion of school life. We turn with -reluctance from the well pattemed life of the past years, and enter into a new. life, far more complex than the earlier one,.where we will have to make our own judgments. As' we go into this new world, we inevitably will ask the questionf have our years of instruction been spent in vain, or have wegained sufficient knowledge to cope with the many obstacles we will encounter on the path to our success? Have we the intelligence and perseverance to solve the momentous problems of the post-war era, those of world peace, economic security. prejudice, and personal success among these greater struggles which confront us? Undoubtedly only the coming years will provide the answers to these questions. Although through the great efforts of our faculty and parents we have received adequate guidance and knowledge to meet the prob- lems which will challenge us we must use that knowledge and guidance intelligently. However, we have not reached the end of our learning, for life itself will teach us much more, and the knowledge that we have already gained will unquestionably aid us. Our thirteen years of training' for the task ahead have been filled with many pleasant experiences, even though at times we may have found the going comparatively tough. During the years we have been in school, we have been told numerous times that our school days would be the most pleas- ant ones in our life. Now that we have completed them we are all inclined to agree that this statement is very true. Our many intimate associations with our classmates in the classroom, on our athletic teams, in the various organizations, and with the members of the faculty and administration we shall never forget. The memory of all this will grow richer through the years to come.

To the Members of the graduating class of June, l948 As high school days are drawing to a close many of you will agree with Robert Louis Stevenson s idea to travel hope fully is better than to arrive Yes you have almost achieved your goal that you have been anticipating for years ,Com mencement is in the very near future Whither has fled that feeling of exultationi' Why this nostalgic feeling? Perhaps for the first time you are thinking of never again roaming these for parting with teachers and good fnends Those are sobering thoughts that fill you with regret for the moment however youth is not long regretful Youth should look forward even though situations perplextties and a dls turbed world he ahead there are great rewards for those who accept the challenge Remember that within you hes a poten tial energy With that hidden energy and with strength of character you can make your contribution to the peace of the world for as Emerson says Nothing can bring you peace but yourself Nothing can bnng you peace but the tnumph of principles !W4,Z'L.,..
