Valedictory
Harry Ellingen, honor student of

or his work through Juneau High i
School, was class valedictorian. He
poke on “Getting an Education" as|
oilows:
"From early childhood all of us
lave aspired to reach some goal In
ife. These early desires of ours are
lot always of great merit. A boy,,
might say, yearns to become a sol
lit-r or cowboy, or some other ad
•rnturous personage, and in all his
tames 'he strives to imitate one toj
lie best, of his ability. As he grows
dder these boyish whims change,
ind ills aspirations increase until'
hey reach far in excess of his short I
-rasp. In order to attain them lie
mist pr . ar ■ himself through cease
ess study and p.'ivcv -r.ince. He .can
lot. well accomplish this without tin;|
lid of someone who is well versed j1
n these stepping- stones and who
vill teach him to solve his ditficul
ies. That is precisely the purpose
if this school of ours, and the rea
lm for the presence of our tireless
nst rue tors. It is through this in-:
itit lit ion that we received our first
,tnrt toward the goal which we long'
0 reach and 'which we are gradually!
1 earing.
Early Training

vhich we build a Solid foundation

ollow. It is a period in our lives,
n which we are conveying to our-1
elves the key to greater knowledge.

elves, and to form higher ideas. It
s also, a mould for our soft and
ma»ivo characters, which gain j
itrength and 'maturity as we advance,

,f 'the lives of great men, we learn
o admire their genius and to vest
nirselves of tills opportunity to profit
