T0 THE CLASS UF 1911 My congratulations to the class of 1911! My thanks for the opportunity to greet you through your class hook. Success is nothing hut a good idea coupled with ll21l'Il work. You have worked and won: you have attained success. Like the heautiful sky line of our encircling mountains your life with us has had its rhythmic course, now lifting us to new views. now resting us in fond hopes of your future. Always have you, perhaps all unconsciously. led us into deeper understanding, hroader sympathies. and nohler endeavors. I was restless for the day to come when we should enter upon our ex- ploration of human prohlems. I am even more unwilling for that day to come when your journey into life will he heyond my view. 1Yithout you a certain new enlargement of ideals would not have come. for in executive work there is relatively little satisfaction of the higher life. Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. You are many friends to me and my prosperity cannot he measured. I have hronght you adversity enough to try your friendship and you endure. So months before you separate for new successes I regret that you must go. Many an evening I see your faces, each vivid in its turn, and I wonder what questions you would ask, if you dared. Then I pass from wondering to recalling my own experiences, what I wish some one had told me early in life. and I resolve you shall have the satisfaction. the contentment which arises when the mean- ing and end of life are reasonably clear hefore one undertakes his part in the world's work. Happiness will he yours. It grows hy doing: so it may he cultivated. It will shine out of your face or flow from the touch of your hand to all whom you serve. Energy, courage. and persistence: enthusiasm. faith, and skill! These are the conditions of success in happiness. You have them and your future looms large with power and full of accomplishment. F. F. Mt'RDocK. April, 1911.
