W2.i,Q,,,m.a, - Prcsidcntis Class Day Speech Mic. COOK, FELLOW Cr.AssMA'1'1as, S'l'lll7l'IN'l'S, AND FAciu,'rY or lioosisvisui' IIIGH ScHooL: Time has rolled around to the point where we must look into the future and judge what awaits us there. The threshold of a new and unseen world is soon to be crossed. The members of the January 1927 class will be scattered to the four winds, but not Without suppressed emotions as the memories of the last few years pass through our minds. Behind us is the gradual growth, the fulfillment of childhood dreams, but IIOWV a different life is upon us with new problems and new opportunities. Our class has received great benefit from the city schools' building program. XVe have spent a large part of the last three and one-half years inside the walls of this wonderful, new, and carefully equipped school. How different from the small rural schools of the past which had an enrollment of fifteen or twenty pupils. In proportion as we have been given advantages by a generous com- munity we should show our appreciation through deeds as soon as we take an active part in that community. Every person here has at one time or another been dependent on someone who has helped him to develop a solid foundation. The success of any enterprise de- pends on the way the foundation is laid. lVhen the fundamental principles have been mastered the individual himself must apply them. The faculty here has done more than we are ready to admit, working constantly, week after week, to give us material aid in the struggle for success. During the last few years, there have been developed in the minds and souls of the members of this class some real ideals. Such ideals must not end with a school course, but must continue throughout our lives in order that better quali- ties of citizenship may be propagated. ln whatever field we enter, personal con- tacts are a. necessity and may our lives be such that all these contacts show the result of our high thinking. Rooseveltian ideals are living, growing ideals that must not be allowed to per- ish. Obstacles will present themselves. VVe should not avoid, but overcome them. XVe should not forget the lessons we have learned here for life is use. A wise man has said, Life is at bundle of habits. Establishing habits come from constant doing. VVe must put into unceasing practice those things which we wish to be second nature with us. It is only natural that, feeling so deeply our responsibilities, we take advantage of this farewell to give a bit of advice to those who will come to fill the Senior places. No words of our own are so fitting as those of YVoodrow Wilson: We are not worthy to stand here unless we ourselves be in deed and in truth real servants of mankind, ready to give our very lives for the freedom and justice and spiritual exhaltation of the great nation which shelters and nurtures us. The Class of January 1927 now bids you all goodbye, and leaves with its sin- cerest good wishes that joyous and honorable success attend your efforts in all the days to come. -WILLIAM J. GooDw1N, J R. 1 927
