4 Y ledda e rom Wlr. S, ivan The invitation to send a message to your Yearbook has come as a arp reminder to me that the end of another school year is fast ap- oaching. To some of you this means the end of your school careers, should like to express the hope that for none of you will it mean e end of your education. Some of you, doubtless, will be proceeding to the university, to seminary, or to other institutions of higher learning; some will enrolling in courses of training for the nursing profession; some be embarking on technical training at the institute of Technology Art. Whatever plans you may have, even if you are immediately en- ring employment or remaining at home,I trust that you will all avail urselves of every opportunity to continue your education. The end schooling,even if it must mean the end of formal education, should vev be allowed to mean the end of moral, cultural, and intellectual ciowth. It marks merely the attainment of a certain stage in that qowth. Your school has begun your education by teaching you some funda- ental truths and inspiring in you a desire to pursue others. By triving to deepen your understanding of the truths which have been resented to you and to add to your store of useful knowledge, you ay hope to come, in time, to at least some degree of wisdom. Educa- ion in its best sense, is a lifelong process. Two means of achieving wisdom are available to all of you, good riends and good books. Choose them both with care, remembering that he influence, for good or for evil, which they will exert on your Ives, may well be incalculable. 4Jhree ' Joiun, The First is finished and l id away life is a story in volumes three ie Past, the Present and the Yet to be. The Second we are reading day by day. Third and Last of the vol¬ umes three Is locked from sight — God keeps the key.

To the teachers! A wonderful idea for the dedication of your yearbook! eachers are considered the most important group of men and women. Through their fforts they make the world progress by developing the intelligence of students, ;hus adding to the treasure of ideas that will push humanity farther towards value ind power. Yet few are so neglected, suffer so much ingratitude, are forgotten so asily except when resented. They are often the butt of a joke or they cut a laive figure in the eyes of some merciless pupil. A few teachers, of course, are venerated for their imposing personality, for their discipline, or for their tolerance. Not only those deserve a lasting souvenir. All teachers doing their best are admirable and may be considered in some measure martyrs to the cause of education. Think of the long monotonous days of repetition of what they know well jut cannot implant in the distracted minds of their charges; think of the long lours of class preparation, the tests and their correction, the worry about the :haracter-formation or de-formation of many little un-angels, the private talks v th a view to helping students, the diplomacy to tame, the endless repetitious remarks necessitated by the inattention or devil-may-dare attitude of pupils who think that fun is an end, amusement a worthwhile occupation, school an institution to put in time until one gains his freedom, and the teachers a necessary trial to be ignored. If you think enough of your teachers to dedicate your yearbook to them, t ink enough of them to be model students, all of you, not only 5056 of the gang, 30 of the time!.
