F. H. STAUFFER Ph. B. O M.A. Supervising Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1940 Another stage in the process of your education has been completed. Your application, your fine spirit, and your seriousness of purpose has brought you success-graduation. You are now ready and prepared to carry to fruition the ideas and ideals expressed in your class motto- Ready to Serve . Congratulations and success to the Class of 1940. I am happy to take this opportunity to direct this final message to you. The world wants the talents represented by educated men and women. However let me cau- tion you that your education is only lent to you. Society is the lender and will in turn call upon you for an accounting of its investment of time, money, and strength in you. A diploma can not make you immune to corroding stupidity and ignorance. You must will to serve, to live, and to grow. Your significance is determined in large part by your assumption of responsibility. I urge you to cultivate this sixth sense of the truly educated man---the sense of responsibility. Your diploma will be not a sign of a task done and a responsibility dis- charged, but of a task begun and a responsibility assumed. You must repay society for the advant- ages placed in your hands through education.
