THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Graduation Night Program SALUTATORY EDUCATION—ESSENCE OF SUCCESS Parents, teachers, members of the Board of Education, friends, and fellow school¬ mates It is a great honor to welcome ycu to our commencement exercises The Class of 1947 has come a long way to reach this goal. We thank you from the bottom of cur hearts for easing this difficult journey. Because of your invaluable aid and the personal guidance of our capable teachers, we feel confident that each and everyone of ycu can look to us and say, Well done . But our desire for education should net terminate at this point. This is but the be¬ ginning of a great adventure a glorious adventure into a fabulous world of unlimited opportunities. Our desire for success and personal satisfaction can be achieved only by ourselves, but this achievement can be somewhat furthered by continuing our pursuit for education in the days to come. Let us not, however, become victims of the mistaken theory that education is confined to books or even to the four walls of a school¬ room. It is a large field which covers an immense range of subjects. Simply to know the construction of angles or the law of gravity is not enough. There is something beyond our textbooks which we must recognize. In fact, development of wholesome habits gees hand in hand with technical instruction. Also, each one of us must have some type of ethical rule by which to be guided. We must recognize the beliefs and the ideals of our fellow man. We must not tolerate prejudice and petty hatreds, but instead, judge man by his merits and not by his color or his religion. 4 hese are the things that help to develop and strengthen the moral character of the student. These are the things that will be most needed and expected of us as we grasp for opportunities in a promising future. The realization of the progress civilization has made in the twentieth century is also imperative to the average student. New machinery is being developed. Science is expanding by leaps and bounds. All the faculties of the world are advancing at an unbelievable rate. If we aspire to become leaders in this age, we must keep in stride with this advancement. Especially now, when competition is s o keen, fur¬ ther training seems more essential than ever before. Let us remember that education is that intangible something which can neither be spent nor lost. It is something that no human force can take away from us. It is the best of all investments. We must not plan to enter the world of business and industry today, equipped with great expectations alone and nothing to facilitate their completion. We must, however, be well trained to meet the responsibilities that go with leadership and be worthy of any position that we may hold Theodore Rendock ' 47 FROM WAR TO PEACE America is the spot light of the world. Not only is she busy settling foreign affairs, but she has problems of her own to solve, too. Here are a few of them. Under the G. I. Bill of Rights, many service men have gone back to school. When these countless numbers of students begin to take their places in the world of business, of industry, and the professions, they will provide keen competition. We wonder whether there will be jobs enough for everyone, or whether people will PageD U
