To the Class of 1938: Famous educators in this country unanimously agree that our public schools should make greater effort to train pupils for citizenship. True democracy can exist only where the people understand the democratic system, and where they willingly take an active part in improving the government. Your schools have attempted to prepare you for citizenship, and we now graduate you into a changing society where we hope that training will be used to the best advantage. It is our fond wish that the limited preparation you have received will inspire you to far greater study of your country. Democracy rests on your shoulders. — H. M. Tinkcom, A. B. Dear Friends: To grow up gracefully find romance a genuine living experience. Look upon yourself objectively, that is, take yourself never too seriously and think outside of yourself. Observe the pleasant and interesting things; this is a matter of choice, considering those things to enjoy that make you feel and think well. Then learn to do something for somebody else and give something for somebody else - this privilege along with your spiritual returns develop the man or woman in you. A simple plan, you say— a life full of blessing. —Arline Kistler, B. S. To the Class of 1938: As in the laboratory, all of you arc undertaking a great experiment. Every experiment has its collection of data, a definite object, some theory upon which it is based, and then follows a complete performance of the experiment to the best of our ability. In it we may obtain facts before obtained, or, we may come upon something new. It should never be a failure. Definite results will be attained from which we have definite conclusions to draw. Resolve to perform only the noblest of experiments to reach for new facts, so that the results will be worth while. —Alvin N. Fegely, B. S.
