Page IS THE PRINC1PAL'S LETTER TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1933: HE schools of a generation ago, with their very narrow courses of study, gave to each one who came the same kind of an education. The large school from which you are graduating has given you opportunity for a program as varied as your likes and dislikes, and with it an opportunity to pursue courses looking toward many different lines of work. If you expect to enter business, you have taken shorthand or typewriting or other commercial work. If you are hoping to go to college, you have taken such courses as cover the entrance requirements of the college of your choice, or the prerequisites of the profession you hope to enter eventually. In either of the above cases, or even if you have not as yet made up your mind what you hope to make your life work, you should realize that education is not confined to the things you have learned in school. Only a very small part of what any adult knows was learned in the classroom. You learned to walk and talk long before you entered any school. Knowledge comes streaming into our minds from the day we are born until we die, and the schools at best can only give impetus and direction to some of the things that may become our life interests. Education helps to develop the ability of the individual to think clearly and forcefully. It trains for good character and good citizenship. It hopes to send the product of the schools out into the community with a willingness to be of service. After the completion of your four years in high school, after the last exam- ination, the last party, the last game, and the presentation of your diploma-then comes the real test-the school of life. To some of you it means a much broader field of work and study. To others it may mean the end of progress, because a few graduates never do any constructive work or study or reading after they are away from the daily direction of their efforts. If your daily work does not compel you to read and study in order to advance, I urge you to set for yourself the task of constructive and continued reading. Read the newspaper, ofcourse, because you must be abreast of the times and know what is going on about you. Read books-books of your own choice, books for pleasure, books on your hobby, books that you have long wanted to read but have never had the time, books on subjects you know nothing about, because each will give to you ideas or facts that you may some day use. Your courses in literature have opened up for you a wide field for future pleasure and'profitg your courses in science have shown the many undiscovered and unex- plored fields of endeavor, your survey of United States history has surely shown you the great need for the study of politics and economics by the people of America, and your opportunity for active participation therein. Take advantage of every opportunity to continue your education by reading. The Proviso High School is in no sense a finishing school. May your graduation be a real commencement. san Cefe ly yours, 541140-fa Q24
