To the Graduates of 1948: This issue of Polaris will serve as a reminder of the period during which you were the students in this school. We hope that the time spent here has brought both pleasure and profit to you. Earnest application to the work before us serves to bring us to a realization that the greatest happiness comes to us from work that represents our best effort. Pleasures lightly won are lightly held. The profit which we have received avails us nothing if we arc not ready to give unselfishly, to share and to help others often. In a few short years you will be a pari of the citizenship that will determine in what direction we arc to go. We trust the training you have received in this school will help you recognize the responsibility that rests upon you to become identified with the builders of this community, state and nation. Your help is sorely needed. It is more difficult to build than to destroy. A. M.
