THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS Class of 1948 0U were born in an era of world experimentation. Probably at no time in f world history has there been so much experimental and in many instances J confused thinking, as has been prevalent in your lifetime. Some of this thinking has been individualistic and some has been on a national scale. There are certain rules which neither an individual nor a nation may violate, and ex¬ pect any lasting prosperity, success or fame. The brotherhood of man is not furthered by inciting class hatred. The weak are not strengthened by weakening the strong. Courage and character are not built by taking away initiative and independence. It is not possible to stay out of trouble by consistently spending more than your income. Prosperity does not result from the discouraging of thrift. The wage earner cannot be lifted by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. Within your memory many individuals and some nations have attempted to disregard these truths, and in many cases with unfortunate results. There is still only one road to success, and the following lines by an author whose name escapes me at the moment, very nicely outlines the thought I wish to convey to you. “The road Success he longed to find— But not a highway was so signed. He thought to glory there must be A level path that he should see, But every road to which he came Possessed a terrifying name. He never thought Success might lurk Along the dreary path called Work. He never thought to go and see What marked the road called Industry.. Because it seemed so rough and high He passed the road to Service by. Yet had he taken either way He might have reached Success some day. With these parting words, I want you to know that I have enjoyed working with you as a class, and on behalf of my teachers and myself I extend to you our most sincere wishes for your future happiness. But in the final analysis please remember that in yourselves your future lies. Alvah G. Hayes , Principal
