MR. ALVAH G. HAYES A Message to the Seniors C YLASS OF 1933 your period of education in Johnson High School draws to a close. This period is only one of a series of steps up which you are all ascending. It is logical at this point to inventory the present in order that mistakes you have made in the past will not be repeated in the future. You are living in a highly specialized world, in which the rewards will continue to be largely reserved for the more capable. During the last twelve years you have been laying a foundation upon which, to a large extent your success or failure will depend. If that foundation has been cheaply and poorly laid, be frank with yourselves and at¬ tempt to improve it in the future before building that more costly portion, that super¬ structure which is to represent your life work. As each successive class is graduated, there always comes to me a feeling of mingled happiness and regret. Happiness in the thought that another group has reached one of the several goals along the road, and regret in the knowledge that many of the splendid friendships formed during the last four years, are about to be broken. The period which is ending has been one of the happiest which you will ever experience. There probably have been times when you believed you were experiencing everything but happiness, but life is like that. From certain positions we see only the dark cloud, but on the hill we see the sun still shining. Now, as many of you go “out of school life, into life’s school,” I wish to leave one ' parting thought with you. l ' our teachers will be tremendously interested in your future- success just as they always have been interested in your successes while you were a part, of this institution. With this parting thought I say, “Good luck to you, Class of 1933.” [ 3 ]
