O (PrincipaL ' s JSeller To the Seniors of 1934: It is with regret that I extend farewell to the Class of 1934. My part in your achievement has been very small, but the men and women of our staff who have devoted their working hours and much of their leis- ure time to your development must feel great satis- faction in your achievements. Proviso will watch your steps with interest; the things you accomplish will reflect credit not only to yourselves and to your parents, but to the institution from which you are a graduate, as well. Proviso has meant a great deal to you; now as alumni you will mean much to Proviso. Your educa- tion has been obtained during an unusual period. This period has caused you to have other than nor- mal experiences, and, in many cases, heartaches; but since we should profit from our experiences, I trust that the adjustments you have found it necessary to make will prove beneficial to you. Your success in the future will be governed largely by your ability to adjust yourselves to new situa- tions, your ability to render service to your com- munity, and your willingness to do well the tasks you are called upon to perform. It is essential that you continue your education, whether it be upon some college campus, within the walls of your own home, or in some office or factory. One cannot remain at a standstill; one must either progress or regress. The progress made in industry, in transportation, and in the communication systems in the past fifty years is almost unbelievable; the progress which will be made in the next fifty years cannot be predicted. Many of you will play an important part in the future progress in all fields of endeavor. There is a wonderful opportunity before you. Graduation from high school is but a foundation. You should plan your lives so as to build upon this foundation. May success and happiness be yours throughout the years to come. Sincerely, Herman H. Eelkema Principal
