TO THE GRADUATES Dear Seniors: In these closing days of our high school career, I would ask you always to remenmber tht we are all, essentially and fundamentally idealists. Our souls are forever reaching out for the better things of life. Always beyond us is something that we rightly crave. We hunger for truth, for beauty, for righteousness, for the better things beyond. And we do this, too, I think, without any particular credit to ourselves. VVe do it not so much because of our intellects nor our will, but because of our souls' needs. Emerson- said that when God wishes to carry an argument with mankind, He plants the seed in the instincts. Instiuctively we are ever reaching out for our ideals. That we seem never to attain them sometimes distrubs us, sometimes our souls are teased by such lines as these: Brother Tree: Why do you reach and reach? do you dream some day to touch the sky? Brother Stream: Why do you run and run? do you dream some day to fill the sea? Brother Bird: Why do you sing and sing? do you dream ...... Young Man: Why do you talk and talk and talk? But after all this discontent is natural and necessary, unless a man's reach is beyond his grasp, what is a heaven for? We should be much less satisfied if we could at once reach the things for which we are longing, arrive at the destination at which we are aiming. The1'e is, we believe, a divine discontent, divine, because God wills it. So, students, if your high school training has increased your divine discontent, if it has help- ed you to feel more strongly that there is something beyond you, something to strive for, some worthwhile accomplishments yet to achieve, it has not been in vain: you have arrived at com- mencement. But I would warn you and advise you that in all your hunger, all your striving, all your long- ing, not to permit yourselves at any time to become discouraged, pessimistic, sordid. Maintain always the joy, the hope, the faith, the optimism that you now have. Let not age blight these, nor hardships wither them. Maintain, a all cost, the courage and enthusiasms of youth. Sincerely, Principal A. M. Maluum, 1141
