E. O. Shaw Superintendent of Schools The greatest gifts I have received during the year have been your acquaintance and friendship. Hoping these may last forever, I cannot refrain from suggesting that you build your lives on high ideals, reverence, contentment, heart-culture, nobility of soul, finer sentiment, and spirituality. These are things that money cannot buy but they are great selling qualities to the individual.
