Unce again it becomes my duty to say farewell to the members of another grad- uating class. In the very short period of twenty-one years, Roslindale High has sent forth hundreds of young men and women from its portals. Each of these has been equipped with basic knowledges and skills in accordance with the particular course of study chosen and pursued. At no time since this high school started has a graduating class gone out to a world of peace and tranquility. This is just as true today as it has been in each of its previous years of existence. It is not, therefore, unlikely that you look to the future with a certain degree of fear as to the uncertainties of the world and as to your future success. Fear is natural to the human heart. It can possess the most courageous of men. The most decorated heroes admit that they were fearful in battle prior to the ex- ploits or events that won for them the plaudits of an admiring world. Those who are not remembered in song and story because of their fears were those whose appre- hensions were based on actual cowardice. Your uneasiness will not be based, however, on fears that have their roots in cowardice. Yours springs from the salutary emotions that come from humility. Humbly admitting that you are not possessed of all knowledge, you will seek paths that will lead to the greater acquisition oflearning, using your present basic prepar- ation as a sure foundation to greater successes in life. Placing your hopes in the Dispenser of all good things, work diligently and stead- fastly. Trust in Him to lead you away from the crooked paths that will beset you on your journey through life. YVith such faith and trust your lives will be calm and success assured. 4
