Today is the last time that we as a class shall appear before you. Today you may see what use we have been making of the opportunities given to us by the Board of Education, our teachers and friends. For four years we have been here preparing our minds for the conflict to come. This is the age of Preparedness. Abraham Lincoln said, “I will study and get ready and perhaps my chance will come.” Abraham Lincoln had a hard time preparing himself but he did it and when his chance came he was ready for it. Our opportunity is of no use unless the man is big enough to take care of it. Man is body, mind, and soul. These parts must be developed. You have given us that opportunity. The chief aim of school is to develop the mind. In our intercourse with our fellow students the sharp corners are worn off. We learn the important lesson of living in peace with our fellow men. Our bodies are developed hv our games. High school is the true test of character which is character building. Young people are the harshest critics and they condemn no one more quickly than themselves. Caste distinctions there are bound to be but these are founded on nothing but the true worth of the individual. Continued on page 35) PAGE THIRTEEN
