The Class of 1930 D URING the years of our association with the Academy, we have, doubtlesss, been impressed with the fact not only that high school days are a prepara- tion for life, but they are life itself. It is probable, members of the class of 1930, that your position in the world in relat ion to other men will be similar to that which you have maintained toward your classmates in school. If you have been faithful, reliable, and earnest in all you have done in school, and have invariably chosen the right ends and the right means to accomplish these ends, it is likely that this will be characteristic of your lives after you have left school.
