If we could point out your path of endeavor, it would be filled with work that builds without destroying; with love, generous, asking no odds; with service so interwoven with your daily living that it is a part of your life. You are but a short distance from those days when men and women showed themselves equal to the supremest of all sacrifices for the betterment of life. From them you have learned new nobleness and it is for you to give yourselves to the advancement of mankind with the same glorious abandon as did they. You would keep as your ideal the belief of Citizen in The Pilgrim ' s Progress of Democracy. He believed that it is not that which a man has that matters but that which he is. If he be not right within, full of integrity, of high intent, of love of his neighbor, no outer rule nor government can set him right, nor any manner of possessions make a true man of him. After many trials and disappointments, Citizen, the Pilgrim, reached the summit from which ha could catch in the distance a glimpse of the Perfect City for which he had been searching. He saw that it was fashioned of the finer Dreams and the fairer Hopes of Mankind. Here he saw all men working happily because all had given up something of Desire. Nor did one Principle rule one day and another the next, according as it would bring more gain. Even though he was afar off he could see that men toiled eagerly for the love of their work — not for wage only. Peace and Prosperity reigned in that city because the law of the land was Love showing in deeds not words. Although the city remained always in the distance the heavy burden on his back was eased and he toiled hopefully on. If you go out from this school with such a standard before you, you will help to nettle much of the industrial and social unrest existing in our country today and you will help to bring America nearer to an ideal State of Democracy. MERLE COGSWELL GRANT, HERBERT GRANT. 17

the wo: king public for their radical tendencies, when we reflect that their cause was just. Other internal and foreign affairs have almost defied our efforts at adjustment. The ratification of the League of Nations and Treaty of Peace issues have taxed the diplomacy of our countrymen. The Mexican situation remains unsolved. Russia almost helpless in the hands of the Bolsheviki has ruined her own national life, and has spread throughout the world, evan to our own old U. S. A., the germs of that awful mala ly — Bolshevism. Men say that the world is going mad. But such can not be the case, while there are so many people strong, mentally, morally, physically and religiously. Yet who will not agree with the poet, that: We are living, we ara dwelling. In a grand and awful time; When the age on ages telling, To he living is sublime. What is our part to play in this great drama of world events. We who have been privileged to look upon the suffering of humanity, with the view of learning to remedy its ills; we who are living at a time which demands of each good citizen his utmost earnest effort. We as teachers must be able to apply successfully that panacea for national ills, Americanism; we must by word and action do our utmost to relieve a suffering world from the grip of ignorance and faithlessness; so that the deplorable state of affairs which now exists will soon give place to a more contented and pros- perous condition; an d so that in the future, there will be no place left for discord to take root. We have tried to put into thess pages only the things which will recall the gayer side of our lives here and the personalities of friends the truest we shall ever know. We of the editorial staff have endeavored always to bear in our mind our aim and object; but through our inexperience, things incompatible with our purpose may have crept in. regardless of the fact that both the faculty and the class by their kind co-operation put an abundance of aid at our command. With the hope that you will find in this volume an accurate account of our school life together, we humbly present to vou this book of memories. To the Class of 1920 As we mingle with you in the closing days of your student life, and realize that you are soon going out into a larger field of responsibility and opportunities, we wonder what part you are going to take in the advancement of mankind. On you much of the burden and the hope of the future lests. Will you be driven with the winds of chance, or will you make the mo.-,t cf your limitless opportunities as teachers to contribute share to the slow structure of enduring progress? t i,
