The Address of, the President By Gnmnn HEBERT No prize without a struggle is the ideal which we carry with us on leaving Southwestern. Our high school experience was designed to teach us this. If we have not impressed this deeply on our own minds, then our work has been lacking in an im- portant respect. We have realized that nothing worth while is given to us if we make no attempt to earn it. Because of the diffi- culties with which we have had to con- tend, the gain as represented by our diploma is more pre- cious and we shall cherish it through many years. This truth has been proved to us many times by our schoolmates. All honors in scholar- ship, athletics, and leadership have been the result of perseverance. Southwestern com- peted for the Dart- mouth Trophy for four years. This tro- . phy, given as a re- I ward for the high- est rating among the city high schools for scholarship, sportsmanship, and athletic ability, has been the object of enthusiastic competition throughout the city. Last year we missed the trophy by but o11e point. This year we started out with a new determination to win. From a competing Held of thirteen high schools of Detroit, Southwestern brought home the Dart- mouth Trophy. Nothing but a supreme struggle enabled the twenty-two football men to win this tro- phy. Of the twenty-two 1ne11, eleven are members of our graduating class. From the standpoint of schol- arship we have also used perseverance. This year, by reason of the tive consecutive victories of her debating team, Southwestern won one of the bronze plaques give11 for superior performance in the Michi- gan Debating League. Pleasure is mixed with struggle, however, and for tl1e past four years we have found our work to be a matter of great interest rather than a burden. It is with the deepest regret that we leave the school which we have come to consider our second home. But we must disregard all consideration for our- selves and make way for the coming class who have merited, by their struggles, the prize which is ours today. Above all I wish to thank you, our parents, in behalf of all students present tonight, for your many sacrifices, savings, and self-deprivations which have CContinued on page 23, column IJ Officers of the Class-- The Valedictory By HICLEN E. FARKAS Dear lflassmafcs, Teaclzcrs, Parcvits and Friends: Tonight, as we gather here in this auditorium for the last time before graduation, something akin to awe envelops us. We thrill to the significance of this culmination of four years of endeavor, pros- pecting in the mines of knowledge with our picks and shovels. As the 0 great day of grad- . uation passes, we see ourselves going out into a strange a n d u n k n 0 W n world, strongly de- termined to do our best. Who knows but that on some future day, when we gather together again, we shall have among us another Professor Einstein, Babe Ruth, Floyd Gibbons, Charles Lindbergh, or per- haps a mayor or a governor? Jeremy Taylor o11ce said, You cannot dream your- self into a charac- ter. You must ham- mer and forge your- self into one. With this upper- most in our minds, everyone of us should realize that although we are graduating from high school, our education has just begun. We must continue to educate ourselves, to plan our future lifeis work, to develop our character, and to make a place for ourselves in this world of today. Now is the time to plan our career. We must not be discouraged when obstacles present them- selves and loom discouragingly before us, Time will show us that they were mere trifies, trying to tempt us from our path to success in much the same way that a mirage in the desert presents an alluring, tempting way to the weary, thirsting traveler. How often have we heard a student remark upon leaving high school, I planned to study en- gineering -or art, or music, as the case may be- but I know I can't go to college, so what's the use? How unfortunate that he should take that careless attitude, for we know that self-education and desire for advancement are far greater than a half hearted college education. Let us make up our minds that we will get a higher education, that we will be what we have decided to beg that we will succeed. What better example could I give than the life of our own president, Herbert Hoover? How often have we heard the stories of his determination to educate himself 5 to make himself a better man des- pite the fact that circumstances had denied him an fC0ntinuerl on page 23, column 22 Page Fifteen
