SENIOR YEAR BGOK 5 Greetings to the Class of January, 1923. In these last days with your school you are traveling, not to the end of the road, but rather to a pleasant viewpoint at the open top of the last, long, steady rise that brings you to Gradua- tion Day. Here, looking back over the road we have trod, we see the toils, the trials:-iandrthe obstacles. But, they have been overcome! And a sense of achievement makes keener the enjoyment as memory recalls the victories, the friendships, and the happy incidents along the way. And from this new peak of opportunity may each one of you look to the ways ahead in a spirit of confidence. Standing with you are the parents and home-folks whose hope and faith and love centre in your career. Beside you, their eyes level with yours, they are helping choose the new pathway that leads through the hills and plains beyond. Teachers and class- mates believe in you profoundly, and are here at the crossways, bidding you God speed. And in your own souls are high aspirations, legitimate ambitions, and the buyonant spirit of youth. Your Alma Mater wishes you all the good things that you will richly deserve if you remain true to the ideals of work and service that belong to your school. FRANCIS R. NORTH. It is good to put congratulations into words when they'are already in the heart. For four years We have enjoyed together the close pleas- ant intimacy of the class room, for I am speak- ing for-the little--band of very human teachers who have praised and blamed, scolded and loved you during all these days. Together we have risen early or lingered late: read French plays and 'constructed polygons: laughed with Leacock and Barrie, wrestled with Carlyle and Burke, and today we look back on finished tasks. The play is over: draw the curtain. And yet, dear seniors, we know that you are looking forward and not back. The old-time girl may have been sent to school to be fin- ished : you, wiser-grown, celebrate commence- ment . Grateful for the training that has given the soul its bent , for the friendships that have been your inspiration, for the lessons that have made you think, you go out into life, full of the joy of living, but most of all, eager to serve the troubled age into which you are thrown. The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck . Our last greet- ing to you is in the words of Alexander Black, Don't hug your life: iiing it , and through such service, the best of life's good gifts will come back to you. JULIA L. ABELL. THE PARADOX OF SUCCESS. You have come to this highly important occa- sion of your Graduation from High School. It is more than a mere event, more than the climax of four years of study. It is a time when'the. thoughts and hopes and vague dreams of the past, crystallize in ambition and desire for the future. It is as if a mist has been cleared from your eyes-you have a new and mighty vision. Up to this moment, you have been for the most part, children, depending heavily upon others for guidance and support. But now you are to try your own wings: you are to set out with a magniiicient faith and confidence in your- selves, to make your place in the world. Now if you are to justify that faith, if you are to fulfill that confidence, you must put your- selves in the background: you must continually strive to serve other people. The mysterious and compensating part of it is that in so doing, the things which are essential for your success will silently steal into you like the rosy flush into the dawn, until you stand forth in the eyes ot' men and women as a real Success. And so instarting out, your happiness will largely depend upon your definition of what success is. The world is full of people who have riches without happiness, fame without content. They made a mistake in definition when they stood where you stand now. O never mind about Success! Do the daily task allotted to you with a smile, and do it well: then help some burdened one down the road to get over the hill, Don't worry about success: it is a reward, not to be bestowed by men-it is at the disposal of Almighty God! And then one day you may sun yourself in the regard of noble men and women, and the cold winds of selfishness will not chill your soul. You will have found the reward for your service in the warm glow of happiness around your heart, and though you may have acquired neither fame nor riches, you will have found Success! DANIEL I-IESTON BOYD.
