MR. PUFF SAYS: It has often been said that nothing is sure in the world except death and taxes, but there is something else that must also be included as a certainty of life. That is change. No person, thing, or condition stands still, and it was an omniscient Providence who planned it so. We may not welcome a change when it comes, but we must realize that it is only through change that progress is achieved. You members of the class of 1944 are soon to face a very definite change. For all you, leaving high school will mean the end of a chapter in your lives and the beginning of a new one. It will mean the change from dependency to independency. You will soon be filling a man's place or a woman's place in the world. You will be entering upon the duties and responsibilities of adulthood. How are you facing this change? Let no one assume that the world owes him a living, but let each one determine to make the most of the opportunities afforded him in life. The best wishes of the officers and teachers of your school go with all of you as you take your places in the world. May all your worthy endeavors prosper, and may you find satisfaction in your achievements. MR, BYERS SAYSg Your graduation on May 12 marks the completion of your first step in your preparation for a useful and worthwhile life. You step into an entirely new world environ- ment, a World engulfed in total war. Many of you will enter the service of your country with the express purpose of helping to maintain the freedom that you have been privileged to enjoy. It will fall to your lot as well as to millions of others to help stamp out for all time the enemies of a free people. In whatever capa- city you serve, give your full support to the winning of the war and to the speeding of the peace so that our men and women in service may come back to even better futures than they had be- fore. To accomplish this task it will take the best you have, noth- ing else will do. E. M. Byers lr E Mary Nicklow .Q llll
