Mr. Knudtson I wish to express my sincere good wishes to each and every member of the graduating class of 1940! The publication of this Annual illustrates what is meant by the necessity and the need of intelligent, cooperative effort which is so essential if we are going to maintain a desirable and democratic society. Each of us must continue to live with our memories and conscience every day of our lives. The experiences we have had. the work we have done, the habits we have formed, the thoughts we have thought, are all a distinct part of ourselves, we must live with them each day. My aim, and that of your teachers, has been to guide you through your four years in the West Salem High school. How well we have done this job can be measured only by your achievements and influence in whatever community you may affiliate yourselves. Youth is the period of high hopes and aspirations; this is as it should be. Beyond that is the world of reality. It is here that we must measure up to the standards of a not too lenient social order. My message to you is one you have heard often: “Begin early to build your personality and character. Select a goal, and strive to achieve it.” Choose your friends and associates carefully. Affiliate yourself with those institutions in society which have as their goal the development of a Christian character. This last thought is one v hich I picked up many years ago and I believe it is still applicable. “When the mind stops working, the head begins to swell.” Pa e Kiv$
