A Message To the Mid- Year and june Graduates of 19342 The other day a student asked me whether it was not my desire that the students of the school be happy and suggested something that I might do to make at least one student happier. I replied that this students happiness must be of his own making, that happiness is subjective. I would submit this thesis to you: Happiness, in the best and fullest sense of the word, is subjective. At any particular time it is attendant upon the individual who has a good conscience and has adjusted him- self to his limitations of health, to the persons whom he con- tacts and to his material circumstances. The mission of the school and of every worthy member of society is not to create happiness but ever to refine the sense of right and wrong, ever to deepen the appreciation of the beautiful as opposed to the ugly and quicken the search for the true as opposed to the falseg ever to improve conditions of health and the opportunities and means for the expression of personalityg and ever to increase the blessings of material wealthg-to do all this not for a chosen few, not for us and for ours but for all. President Franklin Roosevelt offers an outstanding example of one who is in the midst of adverse conditions both of men and of things, who is doing all in his power to bring a better day and who is still unconquerably happy. You may not have a job. You may not have sufficient to eat, Your clothes may not be what you would like. Others may be unkind and in- considerate, Keep a good conscience, make your adjustments, and yours will be the peace which the world cannot give and cannot take away. Genuinely yours, LOUIS P.
