! OUR - PRlNClPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF JUNE 1937: E welcome this opportunity to ex- tend to you our kindest wishes for a successful future. We trust that your graduation from high school will not be taken as the finish of your education but the beginning of your opportunity to plan and further your own advancement. In this class we graduate over 400. Of these, l4O have indicated their inten- MR P W AVERILL tion of pursuing definitely some further type of training in college or a special- ized school, the rest of the class will be absorbed in business and industry-especially to these latter we wish to give the thought of definitely planning to advance themselves in whatever po- sition they may accept, and to keep in mind the thought expressed so well by Hamilton D. Mable: There are two kinds of men in the world, those who sail and those who drift, those who choose the ports to which they are going and skillfully and boldly shape their course across the seas with the wind or against it, and those who let winds and tides carry them where they will. He continues to point out that a man gets what he pays for, in material, in character, in work and in energy. Men fail because they are not willing to work hard enough, to prepare thoroughly enough, to put themselves heartily into what they are doing. In this metropolitan section opportunities for young men to carry on their education, in more thoroughly preparing for their type of work or in the aesthetic or spiritual lines, are constantly open. Upon graduation from high school you should determine to avail yourself of these opportunities. We hope that you will find your work at Jefferson a good foundation for further endeavor. Sincerely yours, P. W. AVERILL, Principal Two
