Ffa 4- -:- -:- -:- 1' i :Elias OUR PRINCIPAL'S 'LETTER -ci 'I' J' J JF Dear Members of the Graduating Classes: As you go out from Berry, it is my earnest hope that the 4' training which you havei received may make you ,lhappy and successful in your life work. 0 Above all, I pray that perhaps some earnest, stimulating word, some kindly handclasp or some knowing sympathetic soul may have stirred the deep springs of your life into a Q passion for noble things and loving service for humanity. Let us remember that the measure of a man is not fame Q or wealth of favorable notoriety, but rather the life he leads, the work he did in his chosen vocation and the condition he made to comfort and help of his fellow men. An unknown author has defined the measure of a man l:- and let me close by quoting his sympathetic Words so filled with understanding: + Not, how did he die but how did he live, Not, what did he gain but what did he give? These are the unites to measure the worth Q Of a man as a man regardless of birth. .ul Not, what his station, but had he a heart, And how did he play his God-given part? Not, what the sketch in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when he passed away? Most sincerely yours, 'D' G. LELAND GREEN 'U- Q-gg -:- -:- 4- -:- Qs
