1 s 1 s S . 5 -13,5 5 s , . . N Q i ls ' is sf MR. HUGH J. BOYD AVING completed the various courses of study in the Washington High School, your affiliation with the school as active students is about to cease. Many of you will continue your studies in other institutions of learning. Some will begin active work in the business or professional world. Others, no doubt, will for a time, take no steps towards preparing for, or entering upon, their chosen life's work. Sooner or later, however, each must take his allotted place in our social structure and carry on the work now being done by others. Competition in the business and professional world will be keen and to meet it success- fully will require hard work, tact, and self control. Your school life is intended to prepare you to mcet these conditions and the student who has best conquered his school probIe1ns should be best prepared to successfully meet the problems of life. Life's experiences, coming to each of us, are the means by which we grow mentally and spiritually. No one may hope to live a rational, well-balanced life without committing some errors or mistakes, either of omission or commission. Re-verses and disappointments to a greater or lesser degree must be expected. Let not these overwhelm or discourage you. Rather make them the means of development and growth. The wise man is he who profits by his mis- takes. Education is a continuous process beginning at birth and ending only when life ceases. Let all of 1ife's experiences assist in your education and development. Do your allotted work, whatever it may be, honestly, faithfully and well, and the satis- faction and peace of mind that will eventually come to you will be such as can be obtained in no other way. HUGH J. BOYD.
