Gleaner vol.. lx. ifienntxxnv 1919. No, I2 Ealutatorg Mordecai Rosenberg, '19 Ladies and Gentlemen: There are centain momentous events in our alloted three-score and ten years of life long to be remembered and cherished, events which when looked back to from the farthest end of our traveled road stand out as beacon lights of rest 1l1idSt the turmoil of a hurrying, jostling world. To such an event in our lives is it my great pleasure in behalf of the graduating class, to cordially welcome you. Our appreciation is beyond measure for your evident willingness to spend the day with us-to make, this, our class day, a memorable one in our lives. Three years ago we came to Farm School, sixty-five strong, with the confidence of youth to survive. We resolutely set out to conquer for ourselves a useful place in the world. Only nineteen of us perservered and traveled this far our 'hard road. The others, finding themsedves either uniit for agriculture or lured by some other call- ing, have entered other iields of life. This dav witnesses the culmination of our earnest preparations. For three years we strove with might and main to attain this days goal-a goal pregnant with future promises, the relaization of which will fulnill our ideals. It was no easy task, we had to overcome the in- iluenffes of a city upbringing. We had' to accustom our- selves to new labors in a new inviromnent and mode of living. It was hard, but our participation in today's ex- ercises attests our success. Each of us, as we go forth tonight, bears in mind but one vision, one thought--success. How that word stirs ns, goads us on. It is the reward at the end of ai hard and wearisome road.

THE GLEANER 3 However, there are several qualities which we must possess or determine to develope to enable us to make the most of the opportunities our preparations afford us. We must concentrate our minds and bodies to the tremendous task yet before us. We must continue on the outside as we did here, the sameness of purpose to become proficient and progressive in our choosen work whether it be specialization or generalization. We must bend all our talent forces, both, mental and physical to- ward such an end. The sun's rays do not burn until directed against one objective. So it is with us, we must concentrate our energies to ward success to be successful. The world today, is looking for the sticker, the efficient man. The man who takes the knocks as cheer- fully as the boosts, always keeping uppermost in mind, and ever striving to attain, that ideal which he has set himself as his goal. Let us go forth, fellow classmates, witn a determi- nation, a steadfastness of purpose that nothing can severe, so that our visions may become? realities, and our objective a fact, and ourselves a credit to our alma mater. I avail myself of this opportunity to thank, in be- half of the graduating class, the various members of the Faculty, Board of Directors and honored President for the great interest they have taken in the betterment of our welfare. ' Mere words fail to express our gratitude to those who have been a constant source of strength to us in ever leading us in the right path and showing us the ideals toward which we should strive. May they with the help of God carry on the great work in which they are now engaged so that in years to come, this school shall be a bigger and better Farm School, and even exceed the fondest hope of Dr. Kraus- kopf its founder and president.
