TIME HAS RUN OUT A few short years ago, it seemed that you had much time to spend in school -- twelve years. Now that era of time has run out. Those golden hours and moments have slipped away. Only through memories can you recapture one iota. The sun has set on your high school daysg for you the bell has tolled for the last time. Time has moved on as it always has and it always will. Perhaps the words of the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, might well express this situation and all situations good or bad in consequence: The moving finger writes, and, having writ, moves on, nor all your Piety nor Wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it. You now face the dawn of a new era. How you use that time will largely depend upon you. GLENN E. KEEFE, PRINCIPAL BOARD of EDUCATIO Just now there are for you two priceless, golden days. One of them is full, round, and complete, a treasure of which you may be proud. The other is more tangible and indefinite in its possibilities. Both of these we place in your hands today with reverence. May nothing ever mar for you their sacred beauty. The first is yesterday. In it htere are many fine and lasting associations which you have had, those with classmates, which are among the happiest of your lives: those with your instructors, which are mutually pleasant and inspiring, those with the heritage of the ages, which have brought you into intimate acquaintance with the world's literature, music, art, science, and history and with the men who have made these things great. A very tender thread of memory will bind you always to this day -- yesterday. It was -- is yours. The other day is tomorrow. For each one it means some measure of success. To some it means further training of your mind in some higher institution. To others it means equal or even greater suc- cess here and now in service to our community. But in any case remember that it is not given to you com- plete, you must make of it what you will. It holds large promise, and so with highest hopes we present this day to you. Tomorrow is -- will be yours. MARION W. COPLEN, SUPERINTENDENT
