.0--, F 1- 10 SILVER AND BLUE to say the least, has the privilege of looking over into the promised land even though he may never reach it. lk ll' Ill The only way to dethr-one religion is to change the very nature of man. Only a God could do that, and by so doing he would only form a new type of religion. lk IF lk The brave man is he who is so firm in his convictions of some worthy cause that he will live if he can best serve it by livingg that he will die if he can best serve it by dyingg that he will take chances of life and death if by taking these chances he can best serve his end. 'F 0 Ill The man Of wisdom is the one who can see before the other fellow sees, can see more than the other fellow sees, and can see farther than the other fellow can sec. IF il ll' Always remember your honor is of more worth than wealth. Be clean, square, and honest in all thy dealings. 1 i ak Life may seem short, but it is not so short that there is always time for courtesy. 1 C I Don't talk too much about the things you have done or can do. Men are judged by the work they are do- ing and the life they are living. 41 HI' Ill Man has a peculiar love for ad- venture. The unknown lands holds a charm for him which beckons him on to untold suffering and hardship. No people possessed more of this dominant trait than the youth of to- day. May we follow this spirit to new fields of knowledge and truth. il Ill lk At commencement time let us be at home to the future. Let Us wait to hear her ring the d-oorbell of the world. Let us go out to the adven- ture of living a life well. 4' Ill III Life is full of discouragements and dissapointments and wisd-om con- sists in being prepared to meet it, not in contending that it does not exist. ik If ill As we come to the close of a scho-ol year there is always a feeling which is produced by a peculiar mixture of joy and Of sorrow. J o-y at having ac- complished an undertaking, sorr-ow at having to part with friends. The sorrow is lessened by the knowledge that our friends will live in our memo- ries. lk i i A little more kindness, a little less. creed, A little more giving, a little less: greed, A little more smile, a little less. frown, A little less kicking a man when he's down. A little more we, and a little less lllfi, A little more laugh, a little less cry, A little more flowers on the pathway of life. And fewer on graves at the end of the strife.

SILVER AND BLUE 9 beauties of nature. They love the cherry blossoms, and the chrysan- themums. They talk of them on the streets just as American people talk of a football game, and with the same interest and enthusiasm. I was so impressed when I visited one of the noted Art Galleries in Europe, be- cause I found men there, in their overalls studying the wounder-ul pictures, pausing before the great masterpieces and showing their ap- preciation of the beautiful. I wish this could be true in our country. Last of all the trinities that I wish to call your attention to is that of brotherhood. The sublimest thing in God Almighty's universe is brother- hood. People are b e g i n n i n g to realize this more. Know one another and you will love one another. When you go from this school to the rural districts do all you can to promote brotherhood. Be active in the schools, in the organization of clubs of any- thing that will bring the people to- gether are make them known and un- stand each other better. You have been trained to do that in this school. Now, before you go forth to invest that most glorious gift that God ever gave anyone-your youth- ful life-fmay I remind you to re- member the four trinities of life: 1. Yourself,faJ body, fbj mind, fcj soul, 2. Your work, faj industry, fbj business, fel profession, 3. Your money, fab make all you can, fbj save all you can, fel give all you can, 4. Your life, faj bread for the body, fbi beauty-food for the mind, fc? brotherhood-f90d for the S9141- Idle Thoughts Wherever you are and whatever you do Remember, my friend, this simple word too- Nhether your life'S to be short or long Live it each day as you go along. IF W IK Man must have money in order to fully enjoy life, but the greatest blessing that can come to a man is to be blessed with many true friends. Bind your friends to your heart with bands of steal. ik 1 lk School will not do everything for you. It is simply one og the helps by which you can win your way to noble manhood are womanhood. You are master of your fate, you are captain of your soul. If you are a good master and captain, you will reach the harbor of success regard- less of storms or rocks which may im- peril the way. lk 1' Ik The greatest loyalty man can pos- sess is loyalty to his after-self, loy- alty to the man he is to become. One who is loyal will so livein the present that the man who is to be may be all that he should. 4' 1 1 To see things as they really are is one of the crowning privileges of the educated man. Education lifts up to the pinnacle from which we can see in all directi-ons. The educated man, M
