30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD A few i ' ines from a poem by Elwood Roberts show the feeling of all thinking people: “The blessed day is dawning. When war and strife shall end; When all mankind together Shall dwell, as friend to friend. That happy day, O Nations, Pray God He soon may send When all mankind together Shall dwell as friend to friend.” That day can only come when the nations learn that education is the only thing that will iead to settlement of disputes without destruction of lives and property; in other words education is the surest means to peace among nations. Therefore, Classmates, in saving farewell to you, I also want to say, let us each do our part in the drive to preserve world peace by sup¬ porting education for peace. Dorothy Micha, ’37 CLASS SONGS Tune: “My Melancholy Baby” Four long years together now are ending. We must meet again some day, And ou» ' future work we soon are starting. We shall climb and reach the top some day. All our friends and teachers we are leaving And those happy days at High, So. farewell, classmates. It’s success for him who waits. He conquers who persists, so now “Goodbye.” Tune: “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say “adieu,” Our four years have ended Though they seemed just two. Thanks to friends and teachers. Those that saw us through. Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say adieu.” So we now are parting, from our high school dear, For our friends—-and teachers We now shed a tear. So at last we’re parting, Here’s a long, sad sigh. Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say “Goodbye.” Jeanne Urbanowski, ’37

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 It is the duty of parents to give their children as many educational advantages as possible. All parents want their children to succeed in the world, to hold good positions, to converse well, and tc talk and understand current events, and all this can be done only through a good educational background. Thus, fellow citizens, let us continue to give the young people of our town every educational advantage possible, for it is the chief means that they have of reaching safety, hcnor, and happiness. Let us strive to do this even if it means a sacrifice. Let us remember that one hundred years ago this July. Horace Mann gave up a promising law careen to become secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education. This decision was a turning point, not only in Mann’s life, but in the history of American education. In closing, let us recall the words from a great commencement address delivered by Horace Mann at Antioch College, in 1859. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” Flora Therrien, ' 37 VALEDICTORY THE VALUE OF TIIE EDUCATED MAN TO THE WORLD An educated man can live effectively, usefully, and comfortably with his fellow men, because he can understand his countrymen better and in understanding them he can cooperate more easily with them. In like manner, education tends to make nations more tolerant and peace-loving, for peace can only flourish in nations where intelligent analysis is em¬ ployed in the settlement of disputes and other problems which arise. Public opinion, however, is the deciding factor in many disputes between nations and the amount of knowledge and enlightenment indi¬ viduals have often gages their opinions on internation affairs. A man who studies and understands the customs, laws, and living conditions of other countries besides his own is more capable of giving an intelligent and fair-minded point of view on decisions in controversies which have to be judged by public opinion. The educated man not only presents his point of view, but he exerts influence enough to attract other people to his way of thinking. Thus modern education should prepare a man not only for effective, cooperative living with his fellow citizens, but it should include the study cf history, the interests, customs, and problems of other nations. To be sure, it is the duty of every citizen to understand thoroughly the laws of his own country and to try to enforce them. The educated man should have a similar understanding of the laws of other countries, for it is only through international understanding that we shall build an era of peace among nations.
