12 ' 50 Outward and Onward (A Message to the Class of 1950) As the arrow sped upon its way never more to return; so has your secondary education passed into history all too quickly. You are now entering upon the realities of life ' s great arena. In it integrity of character plays a most important part in determining your success as a citizen in our American democracy. It has been said, Character is what you are and that reputation is what others think you are. A good character, therefore, is of more importance than a good reputation, since many an individual with an excellent character has had his reputation ruined by the tongue of the bigot, and the professional defamer who delights in besmirching an in- dividual ' s character through his reputation.

Third: Become thinking citizens. Do not accept as truth every- thing which is written or spoken, no matter from what source such may emanate. Think for yourself! Keep an open mind — free from
