1930 rnuvl The Principalfs Letter To the Seniors: - ' At the close of your fourth year in Proviso, it gives me pleasure to write this letter of congratulation. Your success in class-room work is evidenced by your membership in the senior class and your participation in the activities of Commencement. Thissuccess is the result of your having learned to Think and to W ork. These two abilities we hope you will carry with you into your life work. An important problem is before you: 'To what line of life work shall I devote myself? Your first task is to Think on all sides of the question-the mental and physical qualifications necessary for success in that field, the opportunities offered in this community, the cost in time and money to reach the goal of 'your ambitions, and many other items personal.to ,the individual. The right decision here, resting clearly on your ability to Think, means -that you are started not in a-temporary job, but toward success in that particular field of work which you like andfin which you can be a leader. When the decision isfmade, then your task becomes one in which long hours of hard work become the meansito an end. Work becomes a factor, so much a factor that even though your choice may not be the best, you may still be very successful in the field you have chosen. Long hours, lack of apparent advancement, unpleasant incidents, sometimes even a change of employers and surroundings, must all at times be pushed into the background in order to keep before you the Goal toward which you are working. Your class-room work for which you have received credit has not been, we hope, the-only thing you have received from Proviso. There is another group of signincant and valuable activities. Almost every member of the class has taken part in one or more of the so-called extra-curricular activities of the school. Athletic teams, debating and oratory, musical organizations, Girls' League, and the various clubs have all pros- pered through your participation. In them you rendered Service. In life, your job, your profession, or your work. will perhaps be the thing that first gives you credit in the form of financial reward. This is necessary, but let us not forget the idea of service either in your work or outside of your regular work. Service to the community in which you live brings happiness to the one who serves and makes friends. Thomas Edison once said his greatest single achievement was friends. There was a time when the world gave the greatest honors to the strongest man. In another age, the world lauded the greatest thinker. In another age, the man who made millions was highly praised. Today, however, the individual, for complete success in life, must add to all his other good qualities a willingness to be of service to his fellows. The greatest individuals in the world today are those who have in their hearts the spirit of service, be their position in life what it mayg and if service becomes to you an ideal, you will become one of that rapidly increasing host which is destined to trainple evil in the dust, right wrongs, and make the world a better place in which to ive. - The Principal and the 'faculty wish you success in all your laudable efforts and will watch your progress with keen interest.
