THE FORUM

joying, welcome you Ia world

economic unrest, racial hatred and
class prejudices, which have been
brought about by those who pre-
ceeded us. We would do you y
grave injustice to tell you that you
are prepared to face such world.
with only d high school education.
Our word to you is to continue
your education. If not immediate
", make some difinite plans for
continuation in the near future. We
need in our race more business men,
merchants, engineers. contractors,
brick masons, cement finishers and
electricians. We haye envugf
laundrymen or men who claim they
can do anything; oh, yes, We need
more designers, nurses. caterers,
labortory technicians and intelligent
mothers.
DO not just let your home town
be your field, let your field be the
entire United States, there are AZ
other states besides Ohio, and 81
other counties besides Allen.
AS you are approaching The last
days of your high school career,
have as your motto for the future,
II will find way or make one
There Is still plenty room ut the
top for the man or woman who Is
prepared, and knows it
You viii have many friends who
will start with you and drop by the
way. Others viii try to discourage
you, in your future ambitions, but
remember this: Ships sail East,
Ships sail West, BY the self same
gale are blown. 1t is the set Of
sail, and not the gale that determ-
ines the way we are going.
