The Aryan civilization has run its course. Whether it is strong or weak remains to be proved. On the shores of the Pacific the final test is to be made. The solution of this mighty problem rests with a people of significant powers and resources. As each frontier in our national history has been established the population has been sifted. The con- tented reinainedg the restless. and the unafraid moved on, until today in this great commonwealth, the iittest survive. You, the students of the Polytechnic High School, are, therefore, the sons and daughters of a favored race. The stage is set for the greatest drama in human history. You are the cast. When the play is ended I hope and believe that each of you will have played .his part with intelligence, courage, and iinished techniqueg and that your achieve- ments will in turn become the inspiration of the generation still unborn. ' -W. L. Stephens

But if California. is to achieve greatness that will endure, it will not be alone because of material advancement but also because we of today lay the foundation for a citizenry of tomorrow which will be worthy of the highest possibilities of this fair land. . In the accomplishment of this supreme task the schools will play a leading role. Our boys and girls must be prepared to take their place in a complex society, to meet the problems incident to great industrial and commercial development: but above and beyond this, they must be pre- pared to discharge their duties as citizens in a democracyg to do inde- pendant thinkingg to act courageously, realizing that every privilege carries with it a corresponding responsibility 3 to support law and order, decency, and civic righteousnessg to discriminate between liberty and licenseg to esteem the common good above personal privilegeg and to place service above self. Do these essentials of good citizenship hold the central place in the training which our boys and girls receive in school? Then the future of our state is secure. -David Burcham
