J. B. UNDE11wooD The lljbrimreiipallys Message Knighthood had its origin in days long ago when men fought on horses. When chivalry became universal among the nobility, the future knight was trained from childhood. At about the age when boys now enter high school, he entered a castle for intensive training, where ladies taught him etiquette, and the lord and knights taught him martial duties. He attended the battles of his knight, carried his side arms, and sometimes even fought. At twenty-one, if he had been a worthy student, the squire became a knight. Besides chivalric loyalty to. his mistress, a knight must be brave, courteous, faithful, pure, generous, hospitable, faithful to his engagements, and every ready to risk his life. Methods of transportation have changed. The horse in a large measure has been replaced by the locomotive, the war tank, the motor car, and the airplane. But the spirit of chivalry remains. Courage, truth, purity, and all the fine qualities of a true knight still endure upon the earth. Human hearts still respond to these simple virtues. ,We still have the knight, but he has a new steed. Lindbergh exemplifies our modern chivalry. We may be proud if our school has been a place where modern knights and ladies were trained,-if it has supplied those difficulties which have challenged our best efforts and thereby made us grow nobly. If we have responded, we love our school for the difficulties it has supplied, and our school loves us that we have conquered them. Like armed warriors, like plummed knights, strong, resourceful, loyal and true, let us go forth, in the spirit of this book, proud of our alma mater, and live up to the opportunities afforded by this new age of chivalry.
