Mcssagc from Superintendent M. ( . Dietrich 11'hile I sought Happiness, she flid before me constantly. Wearily, I turned to Duty's path, and Happiness sought me, Saying, I walk this road today—I'll bear the company. —Select ed. Happiness! How we all strive for it, yet how elusive it seems to be. It is not a respecter of persons nor is it any particular class or clime. Physical health, material wealth and social culture, do not. of themselves, bring happiness. It is earned and learned only when these possessions are utilized judiciously and altruistically. It has been said that happiness is not a flower that blooms alone. It is not a boon which can be obtained merely by the plucking. In fact it is not present at all unless one is doing his duty toward him- self and his fellows. Happiness like the modest violet, can but be found deep in the cool shadows of the great forests of real accom- plishment. So let us enter upon our duties willingly and without complaint. Let us see to it that every task is faithfully fulfilled. Let us take up every burden with a smile and as we keep our eyes fixed upon our ideals, far down the path though they may be, the Blue Bird. Happi- ness, unsought, yet doubly welcome, will surely come and perch upon our shoulders.
