FAREWELL Classmates, we are about to be launched into the busy world about us, and we shall no longer be able to cling to the comfortable protection of school and home. Today, the world is not one where easy em¬ ployment is to be found, but one in which positions are few and competition great. We must always place our best foot forward in order to convince our employ¬ ers that we are capable and worthy of responsible posi¬ tions. Some of us in the subsequent years are planning to attend institutions of higher learning. We must as¬ pire to lofty standards of scho larship in behalf of our¬ selves and our school which has nurtured us. We must remember that all the higher education that we are able to acquire will aid us in the business world, where com¬ petition renders it imperative that we be conversant with the line which we wish to follow. Others of us may step immediately into the busi¬ ness world. Let us be examples of honesty, punctuality, and zeal, always striving in our work to go ever up¬ ward toward leadership in our field so that we may feel proud of our efforts and may be a credit to our school, where first we learned our fundamental lessons. We cannot all be so fortunate, however, as to con¬ tinue our education or to find immediately employment. Let us hope, nevertheless, that we will not allow our hands and minds to remain idle. If we take a Post Graduate course, let us fully benefit by it and not let the year be merely one of marking time. Also, let us attempt to improve ourselves as much as possible through our own efforts, and perhaps pursue some hob¬ by in order to use the leisure profitably. Classmates, let us not become discouraged in this world of depression but let us remember always that “It isn’t whether you win or lose but how you play the game.” Charlotte Currier ’34
