For instance it has been, and is our good intention that this should be a happy day in spite of the sombre element that needs must claim its post, and we trust that our efforts will go to attest the truth of my statement in a positive manner, rather than being the exception to the rule. Let me keep you, then, no longer than to extend heartiest greeting to friends, teachers and classmates, and for what is to follow to Beg your hearing patiently, for lo, we are to know not only what we have, or might have been, but also what we are to be in the days to come.

Perhaps we have not come up to the mark in every respect, but I am sure that most of us have tried, and we have toiled, even though we have not always achieved.
