U. S. Fellows, it ' s about all over now. The preliminary of the battle of life is finished. Have you lost, or have you won? Have you played the game squarely and done your best, or have you wasted away your time and the time of others? You have had the right kind of environ- ment, associates, and teachers, all of which tend to better you mentally and physically. You should be prepared to enter college or the busi- ness world. Are you? No matter where you go, or what you do, you will always value the education and experience gained at M. U. S. Pase Ten
