qjq-.4mQgzpfg:s-agjz 2G??Tr2E'3Qf3SE k-'DO ,L N gg E l l To the Graduating Class of 1927 T the approach of graduation, the hour for you to leave the Textile High School, I cannot help but feel pleasure mixed with regret. The pleasure is due to your achievement-the accom- plishment of the work required for a diploma. This work repre- sents four years of careful learning in both academic and technical subjects, requiring concentration, industry and application on your part in order that you might reach your coveted goal. It further shows what you can do, the power that lies within you. Such an accomplishment is pleasing to all of us who have been and always will be interested in your welfare. The regret, on the other hand, is occasioned by your departure from our midst. In the four years, more or less, you have been with us, it is only to be expected that you haveiformed friendships with your associates. Common interestsihave welded us together. A departure,-the breaking away from old ties--is bound to hold something of sorrow. Your graduafiqa is no exception. But, you must remember that your school li-fe has been a battle overcoming obstacles, and you have won. This victory counterbalances to some degree the sadness of leaving the school. Your attainment at Textile showed you that the will to do is all you need to make for yourselves successful careers, whether they be in the professional, manufacturing, or business world. In closing, I wish to impress on you the application of the lessons you were taught at school. Apply them in your future work-apply the principles of the Textile spirit. ' WILLIAM H.

gf-4222523124022 KF? 251312395 ESQ W ii To the Girls and Boys of the Graduating Class lil of January, 1927 l l Y heartiest congratulations are offered to you, individually 5 and collectively, on this the occasion of your graduation 4'- from Textile High School. Both you and your parents may be proud and happy in realizing that sacrifices and endeavors have at last brought a large measure of success. It is a time of happiness and rejoicing for all, for you, for your parents and for your teachers. Graduation exercises are often termed commencement exer- cises, and appropriately so. They mark a period when the young man or young woman commences a new type of work. For you, Graduates of the Class of january, 1927, that new work may be in the business world or in some higher institution of learning. To whatever field you may go, the kindly wishes of your ,teachers accompany you. May continued success meet your efforts. It is appropriate on this occasion that I leave with you some thought to be carried with you into the new field. In this, let me be intensely practical. The greater number of you are to enter the industrial or business world. You are going out to make a living. In plain language, you are going out to sell your energy, that you may obtain money with which to satisify your wants. The energy that you sell may be physical energy, mental energy, or a combina- tion of the two. You will receive so much per hour, or per day, or per week for your energy, depending upon its value. The value of your energy will be dependent upon your knowledge, your training and your skill. In Textile, your teachers have made an endeavor to add to your knowledge, to give you training, and in a small measure, to develop your skill. Please remember that your present knowledge, training and skill does not warrant your expecting or demanding high wages or great responsibilities. You are still young and have a great deal to learn. You must be willing to start at the bottom of the ladder and learn the game. You must increase your knowledgeg' receive more training and develop greater skill. As knowledge, training and skill increase, you will find that the money in your pay-envelope will increase in proportion. Therefore, Get wisdom, and with all thy wisdom, get understanding. CProverbs, IV.J In your future careers, may your ideals remain unshakeng may you have courage to attempt and courage to endure, may your K faces ever be brightened with the glow of successful achievement. I0 Yours, in that thought of Textile, AUSTIN G. CLARK, Teacher in Charge of the Thirty-Second Street Annex. D5 EOEFEPCEQEF: ?ZOE95 FZOCI 7 ig..-
