Filled with loyalty and enthusiasm.” ”A class of many leaders.” Thus will you be re- membered. Your reputation as a class has been made. But such a reputation entails quite a responsibility upon you as individuals You must make good out in life.

THE SPECTATOR upon ability and achievement is a personal matter. When you win success, it is yours. Others may follow your successes with satisfaction just as they may note your failures with regret. You must put forth the effort. You will learn much from experience. School is merely a few miles of paved street” in this great path of life. You will find if you have abundant success that you can share it with others; but it is always difficult to share failure. All the more reason that you should strive to actually accomplish things worth while. I sincerely hope that the intellectual and personality equipment which you have acquired during your school days will serve you well in time of need. May you have vision, inspiration and faith to get under way; may you have perscverence, ambition and energy to reach your goals. As our paths cross may you be able to say to me in all sincerity, “I’m doing finely; I’m getting along well.” Pest wishes. JAMES KILLIUS. L A
