HEN it comes to putting in cold, merciless type, the part played by our mothers and fathers in our lives, We find it an utter impossibility to sum up in terms of actual values of life, the influences exerted by our mothers and fathers. Perhaps Lincoln's Words All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother, Would apply with equal force to our mothers and fathers. Looking backward through history, We find that many of our truly great men and Women owed their successes in life, primarily, to their parents. In like manner, We owe everything to our parents. To many of them the expense of keeping us With the comforts and luxuries of life, means the acceptance of a burden, far fromlight, but cheerily accepted, because of their faith in us. It is this spirit of self-sacrifice, devotion, faith and love that characterizes the mother and father the World over. We have a large contract ahead of us When We set out to justify their faith in us, but justify it We must, regardless of the cost to us. Are you Willing to even consider what the results of failure would mean to those, to Whom you owe everything? Because We realize, although We are incapable of expressing our great debt to our parents, we are very happy in dedicating our 1920 Normal Offer- ing to our Mothers and Fathers.
