MR. ALVAH G. HAYES Address To The Seniors One of the strangest of ideas is that a man’s education is confined to the years he spends in school. In reality Knowledge comes streaming into us every conscious moment of our lives—through eye and ear, through taste and touch, through accident and dis¬ appointment, through success and failure. This is the knowledge and education which we accumulate through experience and education which began when we first saw the light of day. Education is a continuous process. After the last examination has been passed and the diploma is triumphantly exhibited then comes the school of life, in which every graduate should plan for his own continuous education. Throughout life a man’s “job” becomes his school. In this school advancement will depend largely upon superior ac¬ complishment which in turn is based upon superior knowledge. Ma ny of you will be compelled by force of circumstances to accept inevitable boundaries, but one of the real pleasures of life lies in demonstrating that you can do fine work in spite of these limitations. You may be compelled to live on “Main Street,” but you are not compelled to have a commonplace and sordid spirit because of it. “Stone zvalls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a caye.” Accept whatever limitations may be imposed upon you but strive continually to better your position through a more thorough and more exact knowledge of the task which you have to perform. It has been an extreme pleasure to me to work with you as a class and to see you gain in self assurance and the ability to assume responsibility. It has been gratifying indeed to watch your development. Now that you are about to leave Johnson High School you may rest assured that your teachers will continue to maintain their friendly interest in you as you assume the duties of responsible citizens of our community. In parting, I will not say “Good-bye, Class of 1935” but simply, “ ’Till we meet again.”
