18 THE PNALKA QU855 HDTHIIDII By ALDEN CONVIERSIE HE day on which we graduate from High School is a day which we have many a time looked forward to with pleasant expecta- tion. Our graduation means many things to us, for it is a stepping-stone into a new world. Upon our graduation day, no doubt, all of us shall go forth from High School full of ambi- tion, full of determination to succeed in whatever we may under- take. And I take the liberty now to propose to you a motto, a motto which, I can safely assure you, if its meaning is thoroughly incorporated in our actions, will be of great assistance in making the hopes of future suc- cesses, realities. It is this: Let our word be as good as our bond. By this I mean, that our word may be absolutely relied upong that it may be thoroughly trusted. For to have this motto honestly applied to us is to pos- sess a thing whose value is almost beyond estimate. But to secure this object is by no means easy, nay, it is rather a difiicult task. For we must have a fine character, an integrity of policy, of purpose, honesty of thought and of action. We must be careful of our promises and our words, not to make promises which we believe we cannot keepg and moreover we must be punctual in fulfilling our engagements, and in having our work done when it is due. If we can do these things and do them well, soon our words will begin to inspire the confidence of others. Men will come to rely upon our words and promises as from the mouths of those who never fail. Today the world is eag- erly waiting for men and women upon whose shoulders responsibility can be placed with the certain knowledge that it will be safely borne. As we go forth from High School, then, let us keep to our word, our prom- ise, do our tasks efficiently and promptly, and according to the directions laid out for them. Classmates, I hope that what I have said may bear good fruit, so that it may be said of the class of 1914 that: Our VVord is as Good as Our Bond.
