To the Students of Chelmsford High School: Shall I keep on in school? This question, sooner or later, confronts every young person. Shall I enter high school? Shall I finish high school and get my diploma? Shall I go on to college, training school, or business school? Few can escape such questions. They are difficult to answer for there are no sure guides. What is best in one case is not necessarily best in another. Each is an individual problem; and in the majority of cases the answer, once again, is final. The question is regarding keeping on in school, not of continuing one's education. The two are far different. An educated man has been described as one who is able to cope with the everyday problems of life. He has a reserve of power that enables him to meet new situations as they develop. This requires more than knowledge acquired in school. Personal traits, such as excellence of character, attractiveness of manner, ease in meeting people, ability to make friends and to keep them, willingness to work hard, readi­ ness to see both sides of a question- these are some of the characteristics of those who are happy and successful in whatever positions they are placed. Such people, whether their formal schooling was long or short, are truly educated. Schools offer one road to real education, and this road is a broad and beaten path, with many guideposts. Just so long as a person can follow it with interest and zest, can persevere when the way is hard, toil the more because the steps are steep, he is probably making the best possible progress in that development which will bring happiness and success. Other paths leading off the main road may look inviting. They may be mere blind alleys, leading to jobs which have no future. They are to be avoided. The person who leaves school to follow such a byway is not becoming rpaster of the circumstances in which he may be placed, but is the slave of them. On the other hand, the path may lead to a career, one which will hold life-long interest and call forth one's best efforts. In such a case there is a possibility that the right time has come for turning from the set tasks of school days to the more practical education and the sterner discipline that result from taking up a line of work, learning its technique, and succeeding with it. The question of when to make the turn is an individual one, and should not be answered lightly. Few who leave school or college are able to return. Shall I keep on in school? Until the possibilities of other courses have been thoroughly explored, an factors carefully considered, all possible advice secured, it would seem best to continue on, and to build and strengthen from studies in the classroom, contacts on the athletic field, associations with teachers and fellow students, those personal traits which are even more important than knowledge for life's lasting satisfactions and rewards. -GEORGE S. WRIGHT, Superintendent of Schools. six ~eorge ~. l!Drigqt Superintendent of the Schools of C!,,,fmsford To the girls and boys of Ch~lmsford High School: ljour iiploma Each one of you hopes to get a high school diploma, some June, that you can call your own. In this respect you are all alike. You differ, how­ ever, in what you expect to do to get that diploma. Because of this differ­ ence there is, also, a different value to this diploma for each one. The public knows least, your teachers and classmates know more and you yourself know most, just how much this diploma is worth to you. There is no sure sign at graduation that your diploma is worth any more to one of you than to another. Oh! Yest you may be a graduation speak­ er because of the fact that you have led your class scholastically for the four years in High School. You may have a star beside your name on the program indicating that your average for the four years is 85 or better, or you may stand at the foot of your class as far as marks are concerned. Even these facts do not prove that your diploma is worth any more to you than your classmates' are to them. Your diploma means much or little to you according to the degree in which you have learned to: 1. Get joy our of work well done. 2. Observe the "Golden Rule" in all your living. 3. Take an active, unselfish, interest in the affairs of your town, state and nation. 4. Continue your education until you arc educated in the true mean­ ing of the word. 5. Refrain from worrying because of something over which you have no control. 6. Hold your judgment until you have heard and weighed all the evidence. 7. Try to correct your own faults rather than trying to blame the weather or some one else. 8. Adjust yourself to each new situation as you find it. 9. Think for yourself, and not let some one else sway you through your emotions. 10. Do to the best of your ability that which you find to do rather than remaining idle while looking for something "big" to do. Time only will prove to you and the world the worth of your diploma. To those of you who read this page, my wish for you is that your diploma will prove to be of full value and that you will be able to give yourself a creditable grade on the above ten items of good citizenship.
