To the Class of 1949 : For twelve short years you have been look- ing forward to the day of graduation. Through all these years you have been prepar- ing for a larger field of citizenship. Your horizon has been enlarged each year. Each year through the use of increased know- ledge you have gained power- power to help yourselves, and in helping yourselves you have made yourselves ready more effectively to help others. Others will help you to gain still more power as you learn to use that power for the benefit of your fellowmen. This is not a privilege only. It is an obliga- tion - a responsibility which you must ac- cept as educated citizens of the United States of America. OWEN B. WRIGHT Principal One of our great historians has said that the clearest lesson of history is that, in the long run, that which is false or evil or foolish will fall while that which is true, good, or wise will stand. Therefore to be able to tell the truth, or to do that which is good and to learn wisdom, as you go from year to year puts the tremendous odds of all the ages on your side. E. S. METCALF Dean of Boys We have been told that an education helps us to appreciate and enjoy the finer things of lifeg that it lifts us to a higher plane of livingg brings us more interesting and stimulating friends 3 raises us in the respect and recogni- tion of fellow citizens, and increases our chances for success in our chosen fields of work. OWEN B. WRIGHT These are worthy ends. But I hope your education has done even more. I hope it has helped you to become a real persong a person who can assume and carry out responsibil- itiesg a person who practices the golden rule in all he doesg a person whose life will make his world a little better for having lived in it. May all good things come to you. FLORENCE J. LIEBBE Dean of Girls I E. S. METCALF FLORENCE J. LIEBBE
