j. willard McMullen, b.a., m. a. Supervising Principal To the Seniors You are soon to be graduated from high school. This is an achievement of which you can he proud. It places you in a selec- tive group, and along with this privilege go additional responsibilities. More has been given to you by your Creator in talents than to some others: furthermore, the com- munity in which you have been reared has given more of its resources to you. through providing for a higher education, than to some others who could or would not avail themselves of the opportunity, and conse- quently more will be expected and demand- ed of you in return. As I turn back the pages of time twelve years t » your entrance into the first grade and my entrance into tlie duties and re- sponsibilities of my present position,— were both beginners then—I can clearly see that the conditions which you are about to face are changed considerably from what they were at that time. The social and economic system in which we live and work has grown and continues to grow more complex. The educational and technical re- quirements for entrance into anv trade or vocation are higher. L.et me be specific and show vou what I mean. At the time of which I speak, some girls graduated from this school and were appointed teachers in tiie rural schools near us. That situation no longer exists. Two years of training be- yond the high school is now the minimum standard. and few teachers are appointed who do not have a college degree. This stepping ut of the qualifications for per- forming all tvnes of work is general. As a result of this new condition, I should like to sav one thing to you very definitely Your future Is to a very large extent In your own hands. Allow me to impress upon you that you can have success: it is had daily by many; it is won chiefly by prepar- ing fjr it thoroughly. It is not a gift, from the gods—something to be handed to you— but it is a reward. Those who hold their positions. the first to be employed. and ordinarily the first to be promoted, are those who are best prepared. If success is your objective, rest assured that study, training, persistence. and de- cisive action are required NOW in the win- ning of it.
