For some, work is a real necessity while for others it may be pleasant to be a5Ie to vacation for the summer and to worry about work in the fall. Those who can find the means to do so will be planning for further education. The important thing is to set a goal and to set that goal high enough so that there will always be some- thing more to be done. I do not mean that the ultimate goal should be quite unattainable, but it should not permit one to settle into a rut within a few years' time. A job is a job and there will be times when it will be well to take what comes for a short time. Opportu- nity may be slow in knocking at your door so you may have to go seeking it. It may come in disguise so that it is hard to recognize. The unfortunate thing is in letting chance steer your course instead of choosing your own destiny, During these past years most of dyou have had the protecting influence of a home and have had parents to help make your decisions. New more und more responsi- bility will rest on your shoulders and you must be pre- pared to accept it. These years itat ahead ought to be among the best of your lives and they will be if you can preserve the necessary balance between duty, ambition, and pleasure. You are hearing from all sides that you are going out into a troubled world. While all this is true, let no one tell you that it is a world without opportunity. A world as troubled as ours is a world which needs the best of leadership to set it back on its course. It is now up to you to continue to prepare yourselves so that you may be among those who will'be such leaders. Rolfe N. Schoppe Principal

Tit is true there is much sorrow and it is sweet. We're proud to have such a wonderful group of ,young men and.wnmen go out into the world becouse we know what they have ac- complished thus far. We know they are capable and we know they are ambitious. Most parents feel very sad to'yhate,tho'time come for their noble sons and daughters to graduate, yet they are proud to look back and see what they have ac- oomplished. This year's graduating class, the class of nineteen hundred and forty will be missed. Although at times we did disagree we did enjoy our association with them. It was good to have someone to lean on, to have someone a little older to fall back on, but the time has come to part! We must salute theml We must praise them for their great achievement! And furthermore, we must re- member themi For them, the dawn has struck! From the day they graduate, they will take on a heavier load of responsi- bility. They are no longer children but young men and young women. They will begin a great game which must be played fair and square. And now we, the underclassmen and your loyal ad- mirers salute you. We wish each and everyone of you all the happiness and success one may possibly have!
