SENIOR EDITION, ST. JOHN’S BULLETIN, ’22 It is said that in order to be educated one must study both books and people. It has been our privilege in the past eleven years to study our books and to study each other. We have learned to appreciate each other’s worth, to respect each other’s view-point, and, above all to work together in harmony for the common good. In tomorrow's program will he reflected the more serious side of our training. We shall receive our diplomas, the reward of effort, of labor, of sacrifice. To-night’s exercises are an expression of the human, personal side of our school life—the phase which will spring more quickly to mind in later life when we review the golden years we have spent together. Such i9 the character of the exercises to which we welcome you. Re- view with us the happy past, share with us the joyous present, peep with us into the glorious future. For you are our friends and our happiness is of the kind that multiplies in the sharing.
