- in you or 4 W7 ell here you are, one hundred and eighty-nine strong. Graduation! What does it mean? For some it means out of high school into life's school. For others it means a short recess before the beginning of college work. For all it means a pause for a look toward the future. Stretched out before you are many pathways. At the end of each, you vision success. You have reached the first milestone along your way. You are to be congratulated. Your enthusiasm engendered by this commencement time may cause you to feel that your ultimate life's goal is assured. I hope that you will not think it untimely for me to warn you that you see only a very nebulus vision in the distance. Many lesser goals lie between. To make your vision a reality and not a mirage requires work, courage and loyalty. You will not find a rose strewn pathway. Every guide post along your way will be labeled WORK. There are no short cuts. You will find that the true joys on earth are for those who work. Be a builder-a creator, not a destroyer. Have courage. Listen to advice of others but have the courage of your own convictions. Your journey may take you over some bad roads. Sometimes you may meet with failure. Have the courage to profit by your mistakes. Success often comes from replanned and rebuilt failures. Be loyal. Loyal to your country, to your fellow men and yourself. Ours is the greatest country in the world. Keep it so. Do not allow your- self to be misled by the smooth twisting tongues of propagandists. Ameri- ca is still the beautiful - the land where youth has its greatest oppor- tunity. We succeed only as our fellow man succeeds. Lord Byron said, Happiness was born a twin. Cooperate in building your community. A successful community means successful individuals. Above all be loyal to yourselves. To thine own self be true and it follows as the night unto the day that thou canst not be false to any man. Life, youth, opportunity are yours. Success depends on how well you use them. With best wishes to you all. G. E. LOOMIS.
