EARL R. SIEERT SUPERINTENDENT OF To The Class of H938 THE PAGEANT OF YOUTH is perpetual. Yet for each individual, it has its beginning and it has its end. Its beginning is found in the temporal joys, in the passing laughter of child- hood. As it continues through the light-heartedness, the freedom from care, and the fleeting heartaches of youth, it assumes a final Worthy objective-ultimate and more lasting happiness. Ultimate happiness is the goal for which every normal human strives. lt is a just goalg its attainment is the motivating power back of humanity. lt is individualistic, self-determinant. No one individual could prescribe for the ultimate happiness of any other person. Ultimate happiness may be had -ffor a price. The attainment of life's objectives calls for constant strife. We have a right to expect victories, but we must expect some reversals. We must expect even defeatsp and those defeats should be accepted in a philosophical manner: they should spur us on to even greater efforts and to more satisfying achievements. ln satisfying achieve' ments lies ultimate happiness. lt is such a happiness that I Wish for each of the members of the Class of 1938. That ulti- mate happiness can be yours if your thinking be right, if your attitude toward life be right, if your conception of the Worth-While things be right. Truly the PAGEANT OF YOUTH has an ambitious goal, a just goaleultimate happiness through achievement. 5W 9 PROVISO TOWNSHIP' HIGH SCHOOL
