To the members of the Class of 1938: You are the fifth class of boys and g1T1S that have left this Central School. Fundamentally, you are similar to all classes that have gone before you. You have had the same type of training, have been taught by the same kind of teachers, you have used the same type of textbooks. You have enjoyed all the facilities that a modern school building can offer. Perhaps the four years environment of this fine building will have a material effect on you. Knowing the above, we can safely say that a few of you will make a success, and a few of you a hopeless muddle of the time allotted to you for the next thirty or forty years. The remainder of you will find a place on this earth that you can fill without any extra exertion, and you will exist. Individually, you are different from any pupil that ever attended a school. In some cases we are thankful for that. what you will be ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now, no one can safely predict. Know- inh some of your characteristics, we can almost place you in one of the above groups, although your environment and experiences of the next few years will still make an indelible impression on your character and personality. what you have done this past year, what you do today, is governed by habits that hold you in their grip. Have you in the past year given up a tough job? whether it be a math problem, a typing assignment, or a book review, that had to be in Monday morning, or did you give up a movie, a date, or put aside a hundred easier-to-do-things in order to master that particular job? It takes determination and tenacity to do that job. It will take the same kind of tools to do any Job--selling a washing machine or life insurance, getting three meals a day, day in and day out, rais- ing a family---everything that your mother and father do every day of their lives. Our civilization has been going along for about four or five thousand years, and what we have read in our history books and novels, leads us to conclude that human nature hasn't changed one iota. Naturally, there are a few rules in this game of life that we can glean from those who have travelled life's road before us who have been successful, and by successful I mean in other ways than financially. I would suggest that you read a few biographies of men and women who stand out from the millions of people who have existed in previous years. Read about Pasteur---Lineoln---Washington--- Jane Adams---Helen Keller---Florence Nightengale. I would especially recommend reading about a young man who lived in the old world about two thousand years ago, who laid the foundation of a way of life that if followed would produce a Heaven on earth. And now-the best of friends must part- I hope that you have enjoyed your part in the school's program as much as we of the faculty have enjoyed ours. Good luck and good-bye and may all good things come to those who deserve them. Sincerely, Prof. C A535 PQE The Embarkation I must check my rigging once more Before I leave this shore For some port in the distant blue. This last task I do with an unshed tear bedimming my eye. All too vainly I try To shut out those pleasant scenes of The past, scenes I love. They come back, marching, dancing, singing Joking, laughing, bringing One message, they halt my leaving, Set my soul to grieving. They ask that I leave a memory here, A little souvenir: We've had compatriots all The way, John and I, Each with his owh little yawl, Some with girls so shy-- Among whom we see our Friend, Clarence King, About whom praises shall ring Till his dying hour. In Ernie, we see not An earnest tenant, But one sowing his own plot, waving his own pennant. Enos was elected fairly As the head of our class, And he has acted squarely-- So we can't let him pass! Howard, Kinney, and Zeke Thru athletic prowess seek To wear on their name The garlands of fame. Betty, Ina, and Emily Are the pious maids, Who out of church see That piety never fades. There's Doris and Emmagene, Buyce and Leete-- Anne, of intellect so keen, who edits this sheet. And the girls have to take headache pills When they look at Gerald Mills. Ray plays trombone in the band-- And holds Grace Hayden's hand! Then there's Jean and Roy, Marshall, a little farmer boy, And Brooker, the lawyer's son-- John and Sid, whose job is done!
