To The June Class, 1911 THIS is the first class to graduate that has spent most of its course in the West High School, and, consequently, your teachers cannot help but feel a great interest in your future welfare. You bear their stamp, so to speak, more legibly impressed than any former graduating class and you can readily see that they are more anxious than ever before that you should amount to something. You have been going through the process of acquiring book knowledge be-cause your parents and yourselves believe in a high school education; as far as doing something is concerned, that is, some definite work, most of you have that experience yet to realize; but it is what you will be as a man or woman that touches your teachers most closely as that will determine how much the West High School does to develop character. Character consists in knowing, doing and being, and it depends on the tastes and qualifications that opportunity has developed. Your opportunities have been of the best. Suppose you take stock of your tastes and qualifications. Do you know anything? Can you do anything? Are you anything? The answers to these questions will determine your character. Perhaps, your stock of knowledge may not be great, but you ought to have the desire to know more. You may not be able to do very much but you ought to understand the necessity and dignity of work. You may not yet have had a chance to show that you are something, but you ought to know already whether you are trying to do right or wrong, whether you are honest or dishonest; in short, you ought to know what it means to be something so that when your time comes, your friends and acquaintances will know where you stand. “In labor as in life there can be no cheating. The thief steals from himself. The swindler swindles himself. For the real price of labor is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.” • Thomas E. Hayward. n Tier h r
