jfo trio orti TO THE SENIOR CLASS. P. H. S.. ’17: One of the world’s first authorities in city building recently told me that surveyors of civics gave the greatest consideration in their reports, to cities sending the largest percentages of their high school graduates to colleges and universities. Upon my commenting on your school, from which in one year over eighty per cent of its graduates sought higher education, he de- clared that this, probably, is the highest record ever shown by a high school. So it occurs to me, as I am honored with the duty of writing a few words, to wish the members of P. H. S. ’ I 7 God speed, that, whether you embark in the turmoil of the workaday world or drink at purer and higher sources of learning, the standard set by your predecessors must spur you all on to give the best that is in you. The thought also suggests itself, that the thirst for further learning or great achievement on Life’s battlefields, evinced by former grad- uates, was actuated not only by the intellectual capacity of the pupils and the self-sacrificing generosity of their parents, but in an even greater degree by the unusual quality and personality of the instructors. Therefore, your debt is three-fold; to yourselves, your parents and your teachers. If you determine to discharge this obligation by carving out an honorable and desirable niche in the world’s activities, you pay all. Now, you have the moral and mental equipment. Use it! s, Governor of Arizona.
