Congratulations Seniors DENNIS D. FORREST DIVISION SUPERINTENDENT Life, according to an Arabic proverb, is composed of two parts: that which is past ... a dream; and that which is to come ... a wish. I trust that your years at Thomas Hunter have been no idle dream, but a solemn reality - a period of acquiring knowledge which when used wisely will assure you of a future beyond your wildest dreams. You are about to embark upon this second phase of life and may fine it easy to “drift with the tide,” doing what is expected of you and nothing more, feeling satisfied with yourself. Instead, continue improving yourself with additional study and work. If we do not better our civilization, our way of life, and our democracy, there is no use trying to “save them by fighting; they will crumble away under the very feet of our enemies. You may ask, “How can a working man find time for self improvement?” The answer is simple ... an earnest purpose finds time, or MAKES it. Seize each spare moment, follow your calling with industry and spirit and use your earnings economically. It is astonishing how fruitful of improvement a short season becomes, when eagerly seized and faithfully used. Faith is necessary - faith in yourself and faith in God. All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
