Governor Speaks
At Northern High
Commencement
Tells Graduates Humonized
Point or View Must Be
Educution's High Point


The humanized point of view
must be the high point of an edu-
cation" Governor McKeldin told
the graduates of Northern High
school at commencement exercises
at the Cove on Tuesday evening.
The governor recalled the words
of Queen Mary to her granddaugh-
ter, now Queen Elizabeth II of
England, Remember that life is
made of loyalty, loyalty to friends,
loyalty to things beautiful and
good, loyalty to the country in
which you live, and above all, loyal
ty to God
Diplomas you receive tonight
are not releases from the sense of
loyalty which your high school as
sociations gave you. On the con-
trary they are certificates of obi
cation TO expand and broaden your
loyalties as your horizons are
broadencd by higher education and
by the experiences that life holds
in store
The governor continued:
when God created man with an
immortal soul and endowed him
with the gift of reason beyond the
instincts of the beasts, he obligated
him with responsibility-not alone
for himself or his immediate fam
lily, but for the whole brotherhood
of man.
The big questions in your minds
should be: What am | prepared to
accomplish? What can | give in re-
turn for what has been given to
me? What will be the advantage to
my community of my having lived
in it? What will | leave behind me
for the good of generations that
come after me? Has your education
given you those qualities on which
a degree of leadership can be built?
Has it inspired you TO active par
ticipation in public affairs? Will
the advantages of the public edu-
cation which you have enjoyed con-
vince you of the Importance of be-
ing a voting citizcn-and not a
stay-at-home who neglects the du-
ties of citizenship? Have you ac-
