The Senior R a i 1 s p 1 i t t c r • | a n ii a r v 1934 SARAH I RI-:ARK I ' OIJ.ARD. Lincoln High girls ' adviser, re- ceived her A. ]{. degree from Maker Ljiiversity, Baldwin C ity, Kansas, and her A. M. from the State University of Kansas at l iwrence, Kansas. ' I ' his unique greeting is her farewell thought for Jfnuiary, 1934, graduates : ( )nce on a time in the long, long ago. and it ' s just the same now, so I hear, there came angels with gifts for the mothers to choose, and to save for their hahies .so dear. The gifts were many, hut only one gift to a child might he given, and it might never he exchanged for another. Pain it miglit hring, or woe — joy or peace. For a price, a gift. The Mother must choo.se and having chosen lift her hurden and life and toil and dream to make a setting for the gift. For choice the angels otTered Health with all its heauty ; then great Wealth in store; Majestic power to govern lives of others and control the world ; Wisdom, calm judicious wisdom, grave and great ; and Love, a wonderful flaming love more heautiful it appeared than all the rest. Finally a wraith-like thing tliat lifted its head and hand to heckon. and then to draw away, as if tt) ask and then to shrink from choice. Its angel called it hut a vision — Ideal was its name. To reach it one must need to pass by Wealth. Power, Fame. Health might never rest on him for whom its choice was made. Great wisdom he might never know. And the voice of glamorous love iie ' d never hear, h ' orever i)ressing onward past these lovely things he must follow far this thing he ' s set to reach. Perhaps not until Death set the seal upon him would he draw near his great Ideal. I ' or you. and you. the choices have heen made, and yon. in turn, will choose for yet another. This sad old earth has had many boons to give of showy things that seem .so grand. She yearns for youth to call to youth to follow an Ideal until in hands forever reaching out to serve another the wraith-like thing takes shape in Progress, growing .strong and real.
