4, F. W. WERNER Principal TO THE GRADUATES: ' Your graduation concludes forty years of North Division. In September, 1903, Principal R. E. Krug, six teachers, and a small group of students occupied an abanf doned fourfroom frame building then located on the ground of the Twelfth Street School. Four years later a larger group moved into the north section of the present building to which two additions have resulted in the quadrangular building as it is now. Mr. Krug early established a high standard of scholastic achievement which has characterized North Division ever since. . In my forty years at North Division I have noted a marked change in our student body. During the early years, mainly those who planned to go to college entered high school. Now the high school offers all young people training in a variety of fields. I No matter what your achievements may be, happiness is the keynote to success in life. A well known radio preacher recently quoted an old lady who said, I'Iappif ness is the perfume which remains on your hand when you pick a flower for someone else. How simple and yet how true. May all of you be truly happy! FRED W. WERNER.

T0 THE GRADUATES: You young people today can take satisfaction from the knowledge that your country will need your services either to win the war we are fighting, or to help in the work of reconstruction that will follow it. Your education is, of course, a preparation for whatever work you may be called on to, do. So, now, more than in time of peace, you should feel under obligation to make the most of your opportuf nity to prepare yourselvesiby continuing with your schooling as long as you can. Although you may be too young to take an active part in the warl at present, you can feel that you, too, are serving if you are constantly growing in knowledge and in skill. The longer you have been in school and the more conscientiously you have studied, the more valuable will be your service to your country when it needs you. L. W. CULVER. S L. W. CULVER Vice-Principal
