MILESTONE 1919 When as a Senior, dear lower classman, you look on the past you will have an entirely different view of graduating than you have now. Perhaps you are one of those who think of graduating as an end to education and the real beginning of your life. Maybe you are one of those who think that it does not make any difference what your work in high school amounted to but you were going to start out now and make good. It is true that you will make more money than you would have if you had not finished but don’t think that a high school graduate should take away something just as valuable as the mere faculty of making money ? When you come to the last days of your high school career, you will think of the past and ask yourself if you have made the most of your opportunities. Have you left the kind of an impression on the school that you would like to leave? Do they know you are a worker for their welfare as well as your own, or simply as a selfish, indifferent person, who takes all he can get but gives nothing in return ? We all know people who do not even give us a kind word or smile for little favors we do them but simply take them as they come, as if we were doing just what we should do in treating them nobly. Don’t be conceited. Work for others without the thought of rewards and you will be lots happier. Learn how to enjoy yourself; choose the right work, the right friends, and the right attitude toward life and you will not only be happy yourself but you will make the lives of those about you happy. Set your ideals high and try to attain them. Let us make a glorious name for the Norfolk High School so that the community will see that it has a high purpose, and let us prove that it has been a help to us by being better men and women after we leave. And so, as ..we, the Class of ’19 bid farewell to the good old N. II. S.. that has given us so many happy and useful days within its walls, we would like to leave with you, who will fight for her again next year, the thought that we will think often of the school and all she has done for us. We stand ready to do anything to help you uphold the standards of our Alma Mater. Dear N. H. S.—Farewell. y
