Every year in the spring, an army ot boys and girls sets out to conquer the world. They are con- fident that their training, repre- sented by their diplomas, will help them cope with any situation. That is what you, Chrismanites, expect your diplomas to do for you. Your dreams have not yet had a chance to grow tarnished. So you start out from your corn- mencement on the uphill road, gaily, gallantly and unafraid, Youth is such a buoyant time. lt would be a splendid thing it the tar-flung visions ot youth could span every long to-morrow, as Youth dreams ot doing. Youth has the ability to live in and for a dream. Hold tast to your dreams. ln the history ot man there was one night ot a thousand years. The world had gone to sleep, but no one dreamed. During that time the world did not produce a single inventor, orator, navigator, poet or artist. While the world slept there was no vision, no progress, because no one dreamed. Then the night ended. Some- one dreamed a dream. The in ventor, orator, etc., came upon the scene. Progress began. Always remember as you go torth from these years ot learning that as you View the works ot art: as you view the buildings ot in- dustry, as you travel upon the highways: as you delve into the mystery ot the years ahead ot you, that in all the ages, in all the years, nothing has been accom- plished without work, without vision, without dreams. The dreamer has been responsible for the worthwhile things in the world. May you always keep a place apart in your heart where dreams may come and go. Hold taste hold fast to your dreams. IESSE H. STINSON. N! 4? Mr. lesse H. Stinson, Principal. Mrs. Elizabeth Gentry, Secretary tgp,

C i Q 'Uwe-Pa Mr. Gregory Lefever, Vice-principal Mrs. Mable Alley, Secretary S14 To me it is a compliment to be included in the We of We Chrismanitesf' Such a slogan embodies the spirit of unity and surely it is through the combined efforts of faculty and student body that the Chrisman tradition and vital spirit is maintained and ex- tended. As long as we keep be' fore us this idea of oneness, not only will our school continue to exert a wide influence and serve our needs but will grow beyond its present limitations. At this very moment, Wise and foresighted world leaders are urging us to accept and put into practice the concept of unity. lf this ideal is to become a part of our thinking and living, it needs must have its beginning in just such groups as ours here at Wil- liam Chrisman. lt is necessary that we, small as we may seem in a big world, actively and know- ingly assume a share of the re- sponsibility for promoting the ideal of world unity. lt is my hope that every student of our school finds here a place where he may enjoy himself, ac- quire useful information, gain some cultural appreciations and learn to work with a group. lf these goals are realized, you that leave this year need have no fear of the future, and you who stay on may feel a bit of pride in worthy achievement. GREGORY LEFEVER.
