THE CADET 19 THE SENIOR CLASS. By C. M. Woocl This year the Academy sends forth its second graduating class. As formerly, the class is small in numbers, but we believe that what it lacks in numbers is more than compensated for in quality. Proud as we justly were of last ycar's class, that of this year ranks well with it, and we confidently look for as great and good things from our boys of 1913 as from any that have gone out 'From us hitherto, or that may hereafter go. Nor will there be found, we believe, better scholarship, broader caliber, or finer spirit, among the graduates of any preparatory school in tl1e land. And after all, it is quality rather than quantity that counts most in the best things of this life. But the Academy by no means despairs of both quantity and quality in the not distant future. Let the public remember that our school is less than three years old, and that necessarily the graduating classes must for awhile be small unless we could have started with pupils already pretty well through the preparatory course. But a jump 'from thirteen pupils during the first fractional year to one hundred and 'forty in the second full year is really not bad jumping, and while speaking well for the pop- ularity of the school, and for the work being done, it also augurs well, if you please, for larger graduating classes in a few years. And now again, to the class of this year also, the superintendent, the faculty, the student body, individually and unitedly, now and evermore, extend heartiest congratulations and best wishes. Our hope and expec- tation is that your lives will prove to be fully and truly successful, there- by bringing not only to yourselves but also to your loved ones at home, and to your Alma Mater, a large degree of worthy credit. Our standard for such credit, as you know, is not so much worldly fame nor wealth- though these indeed may be a part of it-as it is a manly life, well-rounded, clean, useful. These are the ideals that have been patiently and per- sistently set before you. Measure up to these, always and everywhere, and the world shall go well with you.
