For a number of years they have pur- sued the paths of learning, picking up ormation and experience through various hool years, and row, at last, they receive | | their diplomas and step into the world of | | grown-ups. They will find it vastly different from | the environment in which they have been nurtured. There will be no assignment of | particular tasks, with success surely crowning the efforts of those who think | school, always | in not unlike is and do well. In life, mcritoricus performance | crowned with success and laurels. The Key West High School is grad- | uatirg a fine erop of young men and women. Many of them will continue their education at college but some will have that privilege. They will go forth immediately te seek their economic for- tunes in pusiness endeavor, battling the various forces that operate in the struggle for profits. These of our graduates who have the | opportunity of attending college are for- tunate only if they make use of the addi- tional education advantages that come to them. life affords is worth what it costs, in time and money, but these benefits do not flow automatically into the being of the stu- dent. They must be earned. The graduates who have no chance to continue their studies in colleges or special schools need not accept any inferiority | complex in regards to their classmates who | study longer. While it is not to be denied | | that some advantage accrues to college } trained individuals, this is not conclusive in | | the struggle that engages adults in the full- | ness of their existence. | The Citizen wishes to congratulate | the students of our high school who com- plete their courses this year and, of this county who complete their college | careers. May all of them play the game of life fairly, earning just rewards and re- | joicing in the similar success of their fel- | lowmen. OUR GOVERNOR-NOMINATE Monroe County adds its congratula- tions to all other counties of Florida to Spessard L. Holland for the splendid race he brought to a successful conclusion in ing, we take a special pride in the thought | that this county helped to put him. across with a majority of votes cast in his | favor. Of course the congratulations are | made with the realization that Mr. Hol- The nomination, as all will recall, has been tantamcunt to election in Florida ever since the close of reconstruction days fol- | lowing the Civil War. | The local campaign committee is to | be complimented for ‘its fine performance {in putting Holland across in this county. | Their campaign slogan “Let’s Be Right This Time” apparently awoke in the elec- torate’s mind the need to start off on the right side of the winning candidate. That is exactly what we in Monroe County have done, and the feeling generally through- | cut the city is one of pleasant contempla- tion when the difficult experiences of the past three-year period is recalled. Monroe County, we say again, is glad that it had a part in nominating Spessard Holland. We are sure that Mr. Holland will feel kindly towards us and prove of a willing mind to help in our problems in the months fellowing his induction into of- fice. The Citizen congratulates our new governor-nominate! May his administra- | tion prosper and prove of exceeding bene- fit to our beloved State -of Florida! BACKBONE OF SALES PROGRAM Arthur L. Schaife, an advertising ex- pert of the General Electric Company, says, “Newspaper advertising is the back- bone of our whole sales program.
