ll?l 9ll9ll6llEll6ll6llGll?ll?ll6llkQlD, H, 9ll9ll9ll9llGll?ll9ll?ll9ll9ll9 l9ll9l March 9, 1925 To the Members of the Class of 1925, Dennison High School, Dennison, Ohio. You have about reached the beginning of a career that will determine the place you are to occupy in society. Naturally you are looking forward to commencement with eagerness and high hopes. Likewise you are look- ing back over the past four years you have spent in preparation for this event, and weighing in your minds the extent of your efforts. You may see in these past years some signs of mistakes-but they will serve only as added impetus to the final dash for your ultimate goal-a useful life- for out of your mistakes you will build future successes, as all those before you have done. . As I write this I am reminded of two years association with you that were quite pleasant: of problems, hard to solve, and of pleasures con- ducive to remembrance. Naturally I have unbounded hopes for your future and unlimited faith in your ability to rise to any occasion that may confront you, and I am sure the future annals of history will contain many references to the members of your class. But, whatever you have planned for the future, let me oier two suggestions. First: Go to college. You ask How? There is no answer except, just GO. It can be done and is being done every year for Where there is a will there is a way. You ask Why ?,' and the answer is simple: To benefit the society of which you are to be an integral part: to benefit it in many ways, but putting it in terms of cold dollars, because in a life- time the average college man will make over S7 2,000 more than the aver- age man, and money can be used in so many ways in benefiting society. Second: Be optimistic. Take this thought from Ella Wheeler Wil- cox: There is more light than darkness in the world: the fragrance and beauty of the rose are so delightful we forget the thorns that tear the flesh: the sweet music of the lark's clear song stays longer than the night- hawk's cry: there is more good' than evil in humanity and love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, while men grow better as the world grows older. This unbounded optimism will pay big dividends and as years go on you will agree more fully with Strickland Gillilan who says: Ain't been along the road as fur as some But she's kept a-gettin' better as I've come, 'Twill be better still next year, Sure as I'm a-settin' here- Lookin' back I'll see some mountain I have dumb. This is my message to you except that I want to add that you have been Very fortunate in having Mr. Angel, your Superintendent and Coun- sellor for the past four years, and in having your present teaching force to guide you through this last strenuous year and assist in the publication of your Annual, which undoubtedly will be a big success, and redound to the credit of yourselves and your efficient director, Miss Harbourt. May I close wishing you well-health, happiness and success--and in thanking you kindly for the honor accorded me in asking for these few words: I assure you your kindness is greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours, u G. FLOYD COOPER Prin. D. H. S., '22-'23, ,23-'24, li lla lf liallall li liali lialialf lie! li li ll ll lialiali lialiilialfalf lia l 31
