??'Fl lp R U V ll are 11 9 3 2 ld? The Principals Letter To the Class of Nineteen Thirty-two: Almost five hundred young men and women receiving diplomas in one evening from one high schooll Astoundingl This year's class not only is the largest that has ever graduated from Proviso, but contains the largest percentage of graduates com- pared with the number that entered four years ago. This latter fact is the more significant of the two statements, and is conclusive proof that more and more parents and students are realizing that the best preparation for life is the best education that can be obtained. llflany of the graduates and more of their parents have made real sacrifices to make this graduation possible. What next? The answer must come from the in- dividual, as no two cases are alike. It is folly for any one to urge all of you to go on to school, some do not care for more schooling, and some are not fitted to go further in academic work. If you plan to go to college, I urge you now to examine carefully the record you have made in school to see if it warrants additional years of similar work and study. If you have done your best and are still in the lower half of your class, many colleges will advise you not to go on in academic work-in fact, many of them will refuse to admit you to their entering classes. If you have done excellent work in high school, the chances are that you would do well in college, but that alone should not induce you to go on to school unless you have a definite aim and purpose in further study. In what are you interested? What do you Want to do? Happiness lies in being able to do well something that you like to do. Success, in whatever terms we see fit to describe it, requires that you have a definite aim and work persistently toward its accomplishment. Your graduation from high school and the work and ability which have been required to achieve that end, Stamp you as able to carry to a success- ful conclusion any reasonable undertaking. Do not let the fact that your diploma is being handed to you during a period of great change and readjustment in the business, political, social, and moral conditions of our country, deter you from making determined efforts to achieve successg at no other period in the history of city, state, or nation, has there been so great a demand for trained leaders or so great an opportunity for achievement as you will now find in any field of work which you may choose to enter. The development of a good personality and a smiling face, backed by integrity and a willingness to work long and hard at the task before you, will bring to each of you success and happiness. As you leave Proviso, may the memories of happy days bring you joy, the in- fluence of your favorite teachers give you strength of character and courage, and the foundation for knowledge which you have laid at Proviso be a solid structure on which you may build a worthy life. Sincerely yours, U LQ gg- Twentyfeigllt
