TKc Mirror THE GOLDEN YEARS It has long been a question as to what period in the life of the individual is most important. Some psychologists say that the fundamental traits of body and mind are formed in the first three years, others say in the first eight years. Lately there has been a controversy as to whether life begins or ends at forty. A considerable number of years of observing people and especially those of high school age, has strongly convinced me that the most important years of human life arc the years of adolescence, which roughly speaking, are the years between twelve and twenty, or high school years. In this period the great change from childhood to maturity takes place. It is not only a period of great change but a period of profound disturbance. It is a period, which I believe determines largely what manner of adult the child is to become. It is a critical time with respect to laying the fundamentals of good health. During the adolescence the emotions are at high tide and our future emotional stability is very largely determined during this preiod. It is a time when youth is most impressionable about religion, and at the same time, it is the period when most criminal careers are begun. The religious or criminal habits formed during these years scent to be the permanent determiners of conduct. This fact alone shouts an insistent warning concerning the responsibility of the high school for character education. Our life habits of all kinds seem to be formed or changed almost wholly during the high school days, habits of working, walking, speaking, eating, of cheerfulness, of courtesy, of vulgarity or refinement and our habits of morality and thinking. Therefore, I say to the young men and women of Sharon High School, do not befooled into believing that high school days are trivial elays, or that you will some time be other than the men anil women which you are now becoming. 1 urge you to think of these days as the golden years of life.
