,,. I ,AA-Fm ...Y V, t A Farewell NORTH! To every true Viking in the world the very word brings a thrill. To every lower classman it should bring the thrill of ownership. To every alumnus and senior it brings a thrill-the thrill of an ownership gone or soon to gog an owner- ship in which every senior has delighted if he has been a true and loyal Viking. We will ever claim you as ours, Oh, North! And to you we shall ever bring the loyalty and the homage which is owed to one held dear. A man gets out of a thing that which he puts into it. We have spent within your walls four of the most profitable and happy years of our lives. The greater per cent of us shall take away the ability to earn a living and profitably enjoy ourselves for at least half a century to come. For, Oh North, you have given us the ability to earn a living. No matter what we may later take up, we have received from you an edu- cation which will round out our lives. Many of us are better Htted for success in the field of life-great orators, politicians, actors, actresses, world famous milliners and dressmakers, speedy typists, makers of the world's great literature. But anything that we are, or anything that we may be, we owe only to you. If we can ably bear what- ever the future contains, the glory and honor of that ability belong to you. Our class awaits with feelings of mingled joy and regret the time when we are to relinquish forever our ownership of you to the classes which are to come. The feeling of propriety which we have concerning you is indeed a sweet feeling, and it is one which can not be torn away without a feeling of pain. We realize that we have reached the top of the ladder here, andwe realize that we are but beginning at the foot of a greater ladder-the ladder of life. Only too vividly do we recall the words of J. G. Holland: Heaven is not reached by a single bound: We build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. We are soon to test the strength of this ladder, we shall soon find how well we have made use of the knowledge which we have gained here and whether each succes- sive round of our ladder is more solid than the last. We will perhaps realize how much more we might have gotten from you than we did. The time is too rapidly approaching when the class of '25 shall be assembled for the last time, for probably never again will our entire class come together. Never can the same feelings exist, for we can never know what the intervening years will bring to separate the members of the class and make impossible their presence at a reunion. Whatever our work in the world, we trust that we may do it honestly, sincerely, and successfully as American citizens ought, and that we may prove to you that your work has not been in vain, and that we do appreciate all the time and money expended upon us by the faculty and by our parents. Oh North, farewell! Thou North of hope, success, and failure-and of lovel 23 The Viking
