A Farewell To jotting Down The Seniors ir, K, is J, W. fTRANE llEMAI.EY mx 13' ' 1 Supervising Principal iw cg-':..i I 1.x To the Class of 1939: For you this year brings a culmination of a high school career. You have again reached the goal that has been set for you The future has no goals established by outside environment. The goals for you must be those you set and the important thing is to keep those goals just beyond your reach. ln your school life each year has represented a definite, tangible, and measure- able advancement towards graduation. Only in school is progress towards a goal so definitely recordedg yet in life as you must meet it now, those goals can be real if you make them so. The typical commencement speaker of a generation ago would somewhere in his speech admonish the graduation class, The world is yours . . . Today that statement is as true as ever for those who set a standard and strive towards that standard in spite of many disappointments, The world IS YOURS as you make it. Some of you will go to college to prepare for a professional life. Nlost of you will enter into commerce or industry as soon as you can get a place. Dont fear that any job may be beneath you because many errand boys have ultimately become managers of the concern. Whether that is your goal or not depends entirely on your will to win, Now that you have achieved this goal of graduation, keep ahead of yourself new goals that can be reached but which are always a little beyond your im- mediate preparation. This way leads to success. lvlay I take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to your present achieve- ment and for your future happiness. Sincerely yours, Supervising Principal.
