The South Hills High School Sesame A LETTER TO THE EEBRUARY CLASS OE 1928 Another class l about to leave the 1 high school! How rapidly the semesf ters pass! Some enter, others leave, thus the ceaseless change continues. What have you ac' quired in your days in school? Visitors to the great city of Lonf don invariably go to that magnificent Cathedral of St. Paul. In the crypt of that building lies buried the body of that famous arcliif tect who designed that splendid strucf ture. Above his resting place upon a marble slab is this inscription: L'Si monumentem ref quiris, circumspicef' If you ask for his monument look around. Sir Christopher Wren has a monument more magnificent than any marble shaft or royal mausoleum in that wonderful edifice. After all man's true monument is his own work. You, members, of this class, have been writing part of your life's history and building the foundation of your future monuments while enrolled as pupils in this school. Some have done better than others. Many have Page Eight paid a higher price in earnest effort and constant devotion to their work day by day. Christopher Wren put the best of him' self into St. Paul's and his name is im' mortal. The best things of life are not se' cured without sac' rifice and effort. The work of the world is still done by men who think, and so in all time there will be a place for the work' er. If you have ac' quired definite habf its of work, and with this have the desire to labor though rewards seem remote, you have gained that which is most valuf able in all life. The world is full of people today who are afraid of doing something for nothing, but who are not at all sensitive about receiving something for nothing. Not all of these young people are outside the school. As you leave high school for industry or college you will meet reverses. Be patient, be earnest, be truth' ful, be honest, and monuments pleasing to your friends will remain when you have completed life's work. Sincerely yours, December 16, 1927. H. E. WINNER, Principal.
