You are about to enter a new era of your life. Where it will lead, what your accomplishments may be, your failures, your griefs, your enjoyments, only time will tell. This may be the termination of your formal education or it may be only the beginning but which ever it is, the following is a thought to remember. However impressive a man’s acquisition of knowledge, however proficient his ability to apply theory to technique, if he cannot use his thinking ability and his skill to work for a safer and better world, his education is incomplete. To the Senior: Opportunities for the well prepared youth of today are unlimted. Many new frontiers continue to open. Certainly we can say to you that much has been achieved during past ages. However, the quest for knowledge goes on, and you, the youth of today, hold within your hands the keys to many doors behind which are hidden treasures. 5 H. W.
