I TIHUEECIH CCDIF' WV CG. HilllCGflElSClElG5JC0lL, li Dedicatory Commencement Address Warren G. Harding High School Supfrinlfendenf H. B. Turner In behalf of the pupils who are to enjoy this building, in behalf of the teachers who are to use its class-rooms, in behalf of the board of education whose members are to hold this building in trust, I hereby express to the community sincere appreciation for this school-home. Ihave chosen not to call it a monument with its connotation of death, for this is a place dedicated to life. Nor do I refer to it as a temple of learning with its implica- tion of erudition, for the paramount objective here is not the acquisition of encyclopedic knowledge but the formation and development of character. For this school-home we are profoundly grateful. Here, in an atmosphere of sympathetic understanding such as characterizes a true home, boys and girls will live and grow through the opportunities for self-expression provided by the school. 'glf there are shades of God's great love, I do believe His deepest love goes out To the gay, eager, willful, burning heart of youthf' Tribute to the Memory of George F. Konold A great many people deserve credit for having made a worthy contribution to the successful completion of this building-architects, contractors, foremen, workmen, material and equipment firms, building inspector, director of schools, board of education. All of these, with one exception, have lived to enjoy a completed work in which each had an essential part. To all of them we convey the appreciation of the pupils, teachers and citizens of Warren for all that has been done to get the building ready at an earlier date than was thought possible. Those who see a host of pupils moving through the schools in constantly increasing numbers taxing all our school facilities to the utmost realize that the expansion provided for by this building came none too soon. We are grateful to all who helped to this end. All will, I am confident, join generously with me in a special tribute to the memory of the one in whose honor this auditorium is named, George F. Konold. Chosen in November, 1923, at the same time this building was authorized by the people, he felt the responsibility thus placed upon him and the other members of the board. Not waiting for his legal term of office to begin, he assumed his full share of responsibility with an abandon of enthusiasm. He was deeply interested in every phase of the development of this building but especially in the auditorium. After his death in March, 1924, it was decided by his associate board members to name this room Konold Auditorium in his honor. The bronze tablet was purchased by money given in loving memory by the school children of Warren. His was a questing soul, eager, alert. His was a constructive life, quick to find ways of service. His was a valiant life. He did not yield but fought in kindness yet in strength for the ideal his soul had learned to hold sacred. HYet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. Eight
