examinations. It has always
been the intention of the local
Board of Education to main
tain as high a standard Of work
as is humanity possible, so that
the students will be benefited
thereby.
Before the presentation of tn
diplomas DR.. Hennemann said:
Members Of the Graduating
Class of 1934-on behalf of the
Board of Education I wish to
congratulate you on the COM
pletion Of your course.
This is your Commencement
day. This is the climax of your
high school days. You have
spent many happy days at your
school work and enjoyed the
fellowship of your classmates,
forming friendship which will
last during a lifetime. You
have met disappointments and
difficulties and had to overcome
them. But you have also had
pleasures and the joy of true
and tried friends who sympa-
thized with you in your trials
and rejoiced with you in your
success.
This world that we're alvin :.
In
Is mighty hard to beat:
You get a thorn with every
But aren't the roses sweet"
You have finished your high
school days and as a class will
never be together again. You
will take up your several vo-
cations in life. For some of you
this will be the end of school
days. You are determined to
apply all of the knowledge you
have obtained to a practical
purpose and to face the reali-
ties of life with a determination
to be successful. Others will
continue their school days and
strive for a higher education.
The completion of your high
school studies and the granting
of this diploma does not only
signify that you have attained
a certain passing mark, but,
more than that. it means that
you have been taught by kind
parents, good friends, and in
terested teachers, faculty and
school members to builG up a
fine personality, a good char
acter, and to be a credit to
your Alma Mater.
We all want to be successful.
But you can't make a real sue
cess without making real enc
mics; you can't hold a strong
position without strong and con-
tinued opposition. He who
never make a mistake never
does anything and that is a
mistake. A useful life can't
be entirely peaceful and care
free. You must do your duty
as you see it. Every earnest
man in every generation has
paid the price of individuality.
You can't dodge it. Go straight
ahead to your goal.
We should move up a bit
each year. No man has a
right to be as ignorant, as sin
full, as lazy as he was the year
before. The law of life is the
law of growth. We either go
forward or backward. The
forward is uphill and hard to
travel, but the higher the hill,
the finer the view. Keep going
up-up beyond the petty things
beyond the tiny things: over
looking, ignoring, and forgiving
with hearts too big to cher
ish hatred and malice, and
souls that search the heavens
for their inspirations.
On recommendation of Mr..
Kohl, Superintendent of this
school, I have the pleasure, in
behalf of the Board of Educa-
ton to present you with this
diploma.
