,W ,N TO OUR SENIORS: When one approaches the conclusion of a span of time, he pauses in retrospect to think again on those things which hold meaning for him. just so you, who are among the last to tread the halls of old South High, find it most appropriate to reflect not alone on your high school days, but on the tradition and rich heritage of which our old building should remind us. Many generations have preceded you but none with greater opportunities than yours. lf our old building could speak it could tell the story of true democracyg the welding of the richness of many lands into that America which is ours. But, more specifically, it would tell of the privilege you have in living in a nation which makes possible the education of all its youth. llowever, it would hasten to say that you alone can educate yourselves. The processes of education are only as effective as you make them. While schools of today are better than they ever have been, you are not educated if you merely expose yourselves to them. After all, knowledge is a potential the magnitude of which depends solely upon what you put into it. It is not created without work being done. Advice would then be added, for our old building would have much to giveg it has seen many young men and women depart to take their places as builders in our land. First it would advise that learning is a constant process which does not end with a diploma. But learning alone is not enoughg it must be put to use constructively if its purposes would be achieved. Next, very pointedly, it would give a word of encouragement as it has in the past to the many who have gone before. You must find in yourselves the confidence and courage to avoid self-pity and self-excuse and to know the problems of your day for the con- querable things they are. You face no problems that cannot be solved provided you do not give up. Prophets of doom will always be wrong as long as there are young men and women with the courage, the confidence, the energy and the faith to stand up boldly to the responsibilities of their times. Then, finally, we add our sincere good wishesg and your school, which has been so much a part of your life, looks forward with you to a bright future, anchored firmly in those ideals which are our heritage from the richness of the past. f
