school and what he makes of himself will depend largely upon his self discipline. A person who gives up and tosses his work aside at every obstacle, large or small, wil not have the successful life a person has whose self discipline causes him to go ahead, no matter what the obstacle. If some one had developed some kind of telescope that could look ahead into our future lives and give us some warning as to what to pre- pare for, life would become a simple matter. But as it stands now, we can ' t foretell the future. When we meet life as it really is, with its com- petition, physical handicaps, successes, and failures, there is only one thing over which we have control. It might be called tact, wisdom, personality or character. But I choose to call it self discipline. ROBERT ELLIOTT Salutatory THE TEST OF ONE ' S EDUCATION Today, we, the Class of 1946, stand at the threshhold of a new day. Our knowledge has not been gained over night. We have spent twelve years preparing for this special day. We have been guided by parents, teachers, and friends. We have had the opportunity to learn many things necessary for a successful future, such as: friendliness, obedience, tolerance, co-operation, and sportsman- ship. The test of our education is not what we know, but how we apply this knowledge. If we have learned to make friends, by being friendly; to obey as well as to command; to praise as well as to be praised; to meet disappointment with fortitude; to take advantage of our opportunities, and always apply ourselves to the best of our ability, then these may be said to be a test of our education. An educated person has self-control and a true sense of the values of things. He never goes to extremes. He doesn ' t become discouraged because of doubts or opposition, yet he must be able to recognize both. He must not consider failure or success as final. Education leads to success. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds ' worth of distance run. Yours is the Earth and everything that ' s in it. And — which is more — you ' ll be a Man, my son! — Kipling PATRICIA RITTER Page Tu ' ciity-oiii
