To the Class of 1916. Ada. 0. It seems to me but yesterday since this class of excellent young men and women were the boys and girls of the eighth grade, the last class of that queen of women. Sadie Kirkpatrick. Now you are the graduating class of the Ada High School and we trust with as pure a life and as lofty a purpose as that of your eighth grade teacher. No more do we look upon school as a preparation for life; it is strenuous life itself, a type of survival of the fittest. In this life we intuitively seek happiness and success. In our seeking some look above, some look below; some look in the grandeur of the soul, some in the grossness of the sense; some look and reach into a heaven of purity, some stare and fall into a hell of licenti- ousncss. And the height to which they rise or the depth to which they fall is determined by their Ideals of life and the energy used in the prosecution of those ideals. We trust only right ideals have been presented to you; certainly you will adopt only “the good, the true, the beautiful,” through life. Again we thank you for your every courtesy, thought and kindness. Again we renew our pledges of faith and fellowship, and bid you a God speed in life’s work, happiness and success. Cordially. E. H. Brown, Supt. Schools. Napoleon. O. 6
