THE SASSAMON CLASSSONG We're smiling through our tears And we think of those long past years. We'll always remember our school so good and true To labor and honor for dear old Red and Blue. Our parting begins today, But we'll meet in life some other Way. Let's forget all our fears, and ring out with cheers Thou we-'re smiling through our tears.

lei- 'l'll li SASSA MUN there is always room for a good man. ll' we wish to have a great world of tomor- row, we must train ourselves today lor the duties wlneh will present themselves. Ir has been said that the schools of today do not teach children the philosophy nor the vocational skills which are necessary for growth in the con- temporary world. 'lihis in a sense is true, but the modern trend is changing. Vocational schools are increasing which train the students to use their hands. It is up to us to further these attempts. 'lien years ago there was no streamlined train, no television. no trans-oceanic passenger air service, no polarized glass. 'l'oday, for those who cannot go on to college and who have not been trained to use their hands there are still apprenticeships which will teach them these trades. .Ks long as the country has ambitious young men, business enterprise will never stand still. 'lihus it can he seen that we do not lack opportunity. Opportunity has come halfwayg let us go to meet it. As long as there are brilliant men, determined men, hopeful men. imaginative men, their problems will be vital, and from them truth will expand. A thirst for knowledge and a willingness to work are the basic foundations for the leadership of this democracy upon which our freedom rests. . May American youth accept the ideals so well expressed by Bryant in his closing lines of 'lhanatops1s : So live. that when thy summons come to join The innumerable caravan, which moves lo that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scouraged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
