MR. EGGAN Miss COLEZKIAN MR. Gnmzrwwooo To THE JANUARY 1927 GRADUATES: T has been said that most men and Women are what they are because of the instruction they have received in school. If this is true, we who give instruction have a great responsibility. The four years you have spent at Roosevelt might be compared with a four course banquet. You ate what was offered at the banquet and you were not sure Which food was beneficial and which was not. If you had consulted experts to determine this, they might not have agreed. You have taken the high school course as it was offered. Who can say what part of it will help you in after life, or what part has aided most in your development? Our experts on school courses do not agree any bet- ter than do food experts. It is well that they do not. It is this clash of ideas, this variance in beliefs, that arouses educators to seek for proof and to continue progress. Peter Cooper says: f'Let our schools teach the nobility of labor and the beauty of human service. Let us hope that We have succeeded in this. If We have also taught you the worth of character-through example- if We have taught you the value of living in peace With your neighbor, and, last but not least, if we have prepared you to make an honest living, our task has been well Worth while. Sincerely, MR. P. L. GREENWOOD, MR. B. R. EGGAN, Miss MAY CoLEMAN. l'21l
