Dear Students: And so we have come to the end of another year at Roose- velt, a year fraught with significant events a11d memorable occasions. For the entering freshmen it is a ufirstw year, for you who are graduating seniors a 'Llastf' How differently these years look according to the perspective one has of them. Four years seem to stretch endlessly ahead of the freshman on the day he enters high school, yet seem brief indeed to the senior as he looks back over them on gradua- tion day. Yet the same four years they are-important to be sure, but only as you see them in relationship to your life as a whole and use them for the purpose for which they were intended. 64What we are to be we are now becoming. Whether you add to your learning after high school in a formal way through attendance at college or university, or whether you do so simply by living thoughtfully in this interesting and complex world of ours, high school should have given you the necessary skills and techniques to con- tinue your education. lmportant as it is to gain factual knowledge here, it is more important still to gain a wide interest in the various fields of learning that will stimulate you to increase that knowledge during all the years that lie ahead. As we learn to do by doi11g, so we learn to live by living. Each high school day is significant in and for itself, a frag- ment of life, a pattern determining how all our other days shall be spent. Responsible for our own actions, vigorously and effectively carrying on the work at hand, participating in activities outside of as well as in the class room, learning to live with others, we build balanced, meaningful, self- controlled days. My wish for each of you is that these short but crowded high school years may become an integral part of a long career of happy successful living. Sincerely yours, ' 1 fThe editors enclose oz 1 'nz-ipnl's 1939 Iellcr In his stullenlsj 11
