STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA Valeclictory Graduates of '29- Today marks an epoch in our careers. The gates of our high school days are closing be'hind usg the portals of life are slowly op-ening before us. For three years, we have been a force in the life of Saginaw High. Now, we leave that life, those friends and memorable days. Henceforth, we shall be but history. Armed with a firm foundation, we are about to begin the erection of that edifice, our future. Some of us will continue our education to enter the various professions, others will venture directly into the world of experience. Whether our structures, when once completed, will be beneficial to mankind or not will depend only upon us- upon our ambitions and the achievement of our goal. If we could look through that magic crystal to see ourselves ten years from now, how much easier it would be to plan! We would know definitely what to do. Since We are deprived that opportunity, there seems to be but one road that leads toward our goal-Success. Only one road ,to choose from the many that lie before HS! It is narrow, rough, and difficult. It winds past dangerous cliffs, up steep grades, and at times into darkness and despair. Nevertheless, that road's end is a reward for all its difficulties. To the one who seeks power, it is the sceptreg to him who desires wealth, it is richesg to those who strive for honor, it means respect and dignity. Many men have already travelled on that road. Those who reached their goal have done so by directing themselves, toward that end with a determination to strive until it was attained. Regardless of hardships and barriers, they pushed onward Others became tired, and rested behind. The glamor of their goal, soon, became dull and today, they are among the failures of life. Some were side-tracked When the obstacles became too oppressive and when paths less didicult attracted them, but they were led into blind alleys. A few gave up their struggle. With downcast eyes, they waited for uncertain luck to lead th-em. They never knew success. We hope to follow the footsteps of those who have achieved their ambitions. We must stay on the road until the end is reached, bearing in mind these words, It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishment the goal, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
