.EDICT Life's Picture99 We. the members of the senior class of 1935, have come to the end of our high school career; to the Commencement which for four years has been our goal and our ambition. Now that it has come, we aie almost sorry, for it marks the end of four of the happiest years we have ever known. So much lias been done for us since we have been in school. e have learned lessons; we have made friends; and we have had a very good time. Now as we come to this day of graduation, we realize that our good times, far from being over, are just beginning— that we have only just begun to live; and that this Commencement Day marks the true commencement of our lives. During the past twelve years, and es-peeially the last four, we have been learning tin fundamentals of getting along with people, the basic principles of life. Now it remains to us to apply these principles to the greatest advantage. As an artist stands before his easel, so we stand before the future of our lives, having within us the power to make them what we wish. They may be beautiful and inspiring, or drab and uninteresting, as we choose. Before the painter lies a truly bewildering array of materials for his picture. He has many glowing colors, and the ones he lacks, he can mix. He is plentifully supplied with brushes, large and small, and as he begins to paint, we wonder what his picture is to be. We want it to be beautiful, and we are full of ideas and suggestions, some of which he may accept, and some discard. Wc may try our best to help him in every way we can, but he himself must paint the picture. So much depends on him: he must choose a theme, a general idea to be ear ried out in detail; then he must make a choice of color. His picture may be gay and lively, quiet and restful, or somber and unexciting. It may even be unpleasant in its harsh, unbalanced combination of color. Having decided upon a theme and a color scheme, he must next determine his means of portrayal. And this is very important; so many otherwise lovely pictures are spoiled by the unattractive angle from which we view them, or because they are presented to us in the wrong way. But the greatest task by far is that of painting the picture, and that is where so many of us fail. For we all have pictures to paint, and we must take care that, with all our high hopes and good intentions, we do not fail in the actual work, and make of our picture only a simple pencil sketch. In this great task of living which lies before each one of us, we must be very sure that our materials are of the best, cur theme a worthy one. and our attitude and bearing agreeable. The great and successful men and women of the world today and all through history are those who have used to the very best advantage tin materials supplied them. We can do every bit as well if we will but do our best, and put into our task of living every good and noble effort at our command. May we keep in mind the immortal words of Longfellow; “Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.,, —Mary Ann Waller.
