five HDllllHlSlRHllUH genioks Another spring, another commencement, and another class of young men and young women about to leave the portals of their Alma Mater to enter into broader phases of life. We hope the training you have received at Scienceville High School will prove of real benefit to you during the years that lie ahead. You are privileged to live during one of the great epochol periods of the world. We have been able to control the physical world but the spiritual and social seems out of our reach. The great progress we have made in the physical world during the past half century seems to dwarf our ability socially and spiritually to meet the problems thus incurred. The whole world is now impoverishing itself in the throes of a death struggle. With all of our lauded material civilization we have permitted misfits to take command of great resources developed in a successful world of technology. Society is responsible for these human misfits and must pay the price for permitting in the world on environment that could produce these bestial types of totalitarian governments. The challenge for a better world is one which the immediate future must meet. Avail yourself of all opportunities of further education and preparation to meet the moral, intellectual, social, and material aspects of life To meet them better than they have been met in the past. To meet them with head erect, with a heart aglow for the problems of your fellow men. To meet them as a common soldier in the cause of humanity; whether your field of battle be in the office, the mill, or with a musket in hand. Scienceville has an abiding faith in you and your ability. As the vicissi- tudes of life carry you out into the maelstrom of human activities and events we will be with you in spirit and rejoice at your successes and be grieved by your reverses. C. V. THOMPSON

picking glaclzbe'zkies I often went with my mother to pick wild blackberries in the fields and woods when l was a small boy. In those long gone clays much home canning was done and the rich, tangy blackberries certainly were good in the winter time. Most of the time the nicest, juiciest berries were in the middle of the patch and one had to break a path to them. In the process of breaking paths and picking the berries from the prickly stems my fingers, honds, face, and body were considerably jabbed and scratched. The effects of the jabs and scratches sometimes lasted for several days. However, the pride of achievement in securing food for winter and the thoughts of rich, tasty jams and jellies crowded into the background the discomfort of getting them. School experience should give students enough breadth of view to understand that many of the good things of life come only after the solution of difficulties; that in a sense, we are always breaking a path through prickly blackberry bushes. The school in cooperation with other agencies should stimulate students to actively desire the best things for themselves and their community. When men and women feel deeply about the great ideals of the human race, they do not notice the inconsequential jabs and scratches of the blackberry bushes: indeed ,they make the supreme sacrifice without whimpering. Anyhow, good luck and best wishes for full pails of rich juicy black- berries. Sincerely, W. L. RICHEY
