VV. L, Richcy C. V. Thompson THE TRAVELERS The little town of Trochate stands on a mountain top in Sweden. It can be reached only by a cog railroad up the mountain side. At the station at the foot of the mountain is a sign which reads: You will find at Trochatc good bread and meat and wine; but if you want a good time, you will have to bring it With you. We sincerely hope you are taking, with you from Scicnccvillc High some qualities which will aid you to be successful and to achieve a measure of happiness. There are many qualities, of course, which go to make a satis- factory pattern for living. Each pattern is unique, having the emphasis placed upon different qualities, or perhaps having some quality which is absent in anotheris pattern.

You cannet fail to climb the steep To catch some shining ray. eW. L. Riehey, + l appreciate this opportunity afforded me by the Staff of the Silhouette to congratulate each member of the Class of 1941 upon their successful Completion of the prescribed work of the Public Schools. The past twelve years have provided you the opportunity to gain the rudiments of 2m educa- tion; to intelligently interpret your heritage from the past; and. by intro- spection, to form an outline of the role you may best play in the continuous drama of life which lies before you. We lX'liCVe that you have acquired some knowledge and formed Ilt least the beginning of :1 philosophy of life which may assist you in adjusting your- self to :1 changing World; where the very foundations of our civilization are qualiing with the impact of :1 tremendous upheaval that is rocking the modern linzmeizll, political. social and spiritual worlds. The world is in need of sane, industrious, honest, patriotic men and Women who will meet uucringiug the facts of life, whether this nation he at peace or war. Men and women who would rather stand erect, and face death if necessary, than on bended knee pay obeiszmce to 2m autocratic despot. The classes immediately preceeding you have faced unemployment and stagnation. Conditions have changed. You are facing 21 world crisis where there is an urgent Work for all. Your current world is making history at a frenzied pace. You are, asked to leave the sidelines and join the actors on the stage. You are facing the times with health, knowledge and the exuberance of youth. You will meet the Challenge with leads up and 21 burning realization that, HYou are living, you are dwelling. In 11 grand and awful time. In an age, on ages telling, To be llvmg is sublimefy -C. V. Thompson. Five
