MEMBERS OF THE CLASS GRADUATING in June, 1932, from the depths of this economic depres- sion may I presume to offer a word of encouragement to you who have been walking darkly in the gloom for two years. Your schooling has taught you that there is a rhythm in the work- ings of nature and the achieve- ments of man. The tide ebbs and flows, seasons come and go, history and fashions repeat themselves, plagues and depressions co.me and leave. So, my friends, take heart, realize that this financial gloom will, too, by the rhythmic laws of nature, fade into the light of certainty, confi- dence, and security. You, as graduates, will have the privilege of sharing the opportunities ahead. LORENA MAOFARLANE Dean of Girls To the Graduates-- In The Tower of London, carved in a stone wall, are these words, To Live Without a Dream-what is it? Their author is unknown, yet they have in- spired thousands. Our histories contain the names of men and women who have achieved greatness, because they were actuated by a dream, an ideal, a pur- pose. Columbus dreamed, and gave the world America, Lincoln dreamed of States truly United, with freedom for all, Mohamet dreamed, and a re- ligion was born. These words emphasize a truth of profound importance. We all aspire to achieve, to succeed, to win the re- spect of our fellow men. The implica- tion is obvious. Plan your life-estab- lish your goal. It will be the most significant step of your life. NEWMAN E. OLSON Dean of Boys Page Scvcntccn

For the further development of the sense of beauty and appreciation, the departments covering the languages and art and music have been institut- ed. These subjects, as presented to- day, are ethical because they are character builders, cultural, because they contain the elements which de- velop refinementg esthetical, because they express beauty, and intellectual, because they keep the mind active.
