IS THF SASSAMON with matters political. But now they must act. They see that the nation is totter- ing, bulging under the strain. 'llhey have come to realize that the ancient prophesy uf Revolution is not an impossibility. XYhcn Faith is lost, when Honor dies the man is dead. Xte need another Lincoln just now and a host of self-sacrificing, brave, wise patriotic men who can take the good old Ship of State and haul her over on the true course. ln the words of Thackeray: 'tUh, be humble, my brother, in your prosperity! Be gentle with those who are less fortunate, if not more deserving. Think, what right have you lo be scornful, whose virtue is a deficiency of temptation, whose success may be a chance, whose rank may be an ancestor's accident, whose prosperity is very likely a satire. 'llhroughout our scholastic career teachers have endeavored to instil into our daily actions, kindness as a watchword. Ella XYheeler XYilcox penned the lines: So many Gods. So many creeds, So many ways that wind and wind, XYhile just the art of being kind is all this sad world needs l The three years at Natick High School have been for most of us enjoyable years. A greater portion of the credit for our pleasant experience goes to the untiring and devoted efforts of our teachers. lt is difhcult to describe sufficiently the helpfulness and understanding that they have so generously showered upon us. Adequate words to express our appreciation are sealed in our hearts, words which perhaps never could be expressed properly, yet they are as precious gems that will remain with us forever. lt is with thank fulness and deep gratitude that we, the class of 1947, extend to the faculty our profound feeling of appreciation. As we pass into our chosen fields the time is ripe for an abundance of clear, diplomatic action. Xte, the new edition to the world's builders. have a tremendous task ahead of us. Each individual possesses a vital cog in the wheel that is attempt- ing to grind out eternal peace. lt need not matter how small or insignificant the job may appear to be, its successful completion will influence significantly man's attempt for universal harmony. .lust as the winning of an athletic contest requires each man's skill and perseverance, the quest for lasting serenity requires each man's utmost effort. XYe must lind the proper road and pursue it faithfully, together. The fate of this world is in our hands. Classmates! Let us prove to ourselves and to all mankind that we are masters of our fate. Klay we realize our dreams and ambitions, but never at any time should we forget our training. lf some of us do not reach the heights-if some should meet with disillusionment by the way, try remembering that there are still many things in this world worth while. lt is easy enough to be pleasant, XYhen life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is one who will smile. Xthen everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises off earth, ls the smile that shines through tears. NOWELL JONES.
