WANTED---B ILDERSH N a day when so many people are following through life the path of least resistance, and when everywhere you hear the philosophy- The World Owes Us a Living, I admire a class that selects as its motto-HONOR LIES IN HONEST TOIL. The man who earns his living by working with his hands frequently despises his fellow who follows a white-collar vocation. And among the foes of schools it is commonly concluded that an interest. in education characteriaes only those who are too lazy to work. I am hoping that the boys and girls who graduate from our high schools will do much to correct this misconception. Throughout this book you have carried the theme of BUILDING. I can wish for you nothing better than that you will also make this the theme of your life. There are in this world so many people who are willing to tear down, but so few who are willing to build upg so many who can criticize another, but so few who can better take his place. Every institution-the home, the church, the school-is feeling the effects of life's disintegrating forces. The boys and girls of today have an opportunity to stabilize a society which their forefathers have scattered to the wind. My college Alma Mater has as its motto-EDUCATE FOR SERV ICE. The implications of such a motto are far-reaching, There are no really great selfish people, but thousands of individuals will never die, because they have spent their lives for their fellowmen. Christ taught this great principle of life to his disciples when he said, HhVll0S09V6l' will be great among you, let him be your ministerg and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. The world has a. big place for these who are willing to for-get themselves ill helping their fellowmen. If you will make these three words-TOIL-BUILD-SERVE-the mottoes of your after-school da.ys, I shall have no fear for your success. You will be the kind of person who is NVANTED everywhere. I cannot refrain from telling you that it has been a pleasure to be your teacher. After you have completed your high school days, my interest in you will be no less real. My best wishes will always accompany you, for I shall always be Your friend, G. C. KILIIEFNEIIV 32
