To the Graduating Class of
1921.
In the whole course of human
life, probably never again do peo
ple have that same glorious life of
feeling that comes to them on the
day they are graduated from High
School. It is their first victory.
Later victories may be greater,
but none can be sweeter.
Never before have there been
greater opportunities, or greater
needs for good citizens, and be
sides their “readin,’ ritin’ and
‘rithmetic,” these young people
have learned and they are filled
with the zeal to become one. The
taxpayer need not worry about
getting his money’s worth when
the High School turns out such an
intelligent and clean lot of voung
people as it did this year. We
can rest assured that the coming
years will find this community up
among the leaders as it has al
ways been.
A man is a valuable American
citizen in direct proportion to his
reverence for independence; and
here in our community we have
shown ourselves to be worthy
Americans. The choicest of our
young men, three years or more
ago, offered themselves in the
field of battle. And those of us
whose duty it was to remain home,
tried to do our full share to back
them up. This community, pros
perous and well-to-do, filled with
worthy, patriotic people, is a won
derful place in which to live, a
place one can be proud tp call
“home.”
As these young people take up
the more serious problems of life,
some of them may be called far
from this place that knows them
so well. We do not*watit to see
any of them go, vet we know they
will always be a credit to their
community whereyer fortune leads
them. And those who will remain
with us, we will welcome gladly
into our commercial and social
lives. Their young ideas and hap
py spirits will give new zest to an
old game.
Keep up vour earnest endeavors
young people. Apply yourselves
in the same will to the tasks of
life as you have to the tasks of
High School, and the best that life
has to offer will be none too good
for you.
