SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
Once again it becomes a privilege and pleasure to communicate my thoughts to the students and friends of the Clarence school. It is hardly necessary to state the keen regard and the value we have placed on your association, friendship, loyalty and co-operation during the past four years.
Out of the turmoil of the sea of education as fostered by the Clarence Consolidated School most of you older people have and those about to graduate will have come to realize that Education Is Life. It is not a weary preparation in learning how to live. It is living to the full each step of the way. It is not living unto one’s self alone; it is living as as a useful member of society. There is no progress for an isolated individual. Each man moulds his fellow man and in no small degree is the child moulded by adults as well as other children. Seniors, remember, you are a living example to the coming up groups and we want you to live as you have been taught. As someone has well said, “the man is best educated who best knows how to solve his life problems drawing on every resource everywhere that can help in that solution.”
And so step by step our seniors have followed their motto, “Gradatim”. May they continue to follow the advice of their teachers and strive to reach some satisfactory goal from which they can look back over a stretch of happy years full of real worth-while experiences.
Every writer likes to ramble, let me say that no one is more proud of the successes, all of them – dramatic, musical, scholastic, and athletic – than your superintendent. Sometimes the way seemed hard, almost impossible, and yet the reward which came amply repaid every effort bent toward your welfare.
As the year draws to a close, a dream has been realized – a fine new auditorium, gymnasium, and stage with other much needed facilities – an actuality that has proven its worth many times during the past semesters and will ever be a monument to those through whose efforts it was made possible. Truly, the year has brought our best harvest in every phase of Education.
And now in closing may we congratulate this Annual Staff. They have performed capably and well and can be mighty proud of this – the best edition of the Clarence Cardinal. My hat is off to them. It is their work in its entirety.
And then to make sure no harm or omission shall be done may I include the people who have contributed to our success in a thousand ways, and go off in the dim by ways, where they sit and listen to the tumult and the shouting where success is pounding by on the highroad of life.
Sincerely, K. L. Benner
