ARENTS AND FriuNDS: On behalf of the class of 1905 I heartily welcome you to our class day exercises. Your presence here to day encourages us because it leads us to believe that our efforts have not been in vain. We truly hope that the exercises of the hour may be a source of pleasure and profit to you, and that they may prove an inspiration guid- ing us toward the attainment of higher ideals. As we go forth to enter the great struggle for in- dividual success the question arises, Will we stand or fall? If we stand so does the reputation of this school; but if we fall, the good name of this school falls with us. It rests with each member of the class of igo05sas to whether the banner of Armstrong Manual Training School shall float high in theair, or trailin the dust. Responsibility is duty, and our highest duty is to preserve, maintain and foster the principles so firmly laid down for us by our beloved Alma Mater. As young men and women entering the arena of life we are about to become the architects of our own fortunes. We can have no conflicts without being ourselves the aggressors, we can Secure no victories unless we ourselves have triumphed. The qualifica- | tions which we must possess in order to attain to the full measure of success are many. Three of them, lowever, seem to stand out pre-eminently, thorough- ness, perseverance and reliability. First of all, we must learn to be satisfied with no work that contains anything less than our best efforts. ‘ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to to, do it with thy might’’ is still an excellent motto for us all. Moreover we must link with thoroughness, ‘re- liability. When the world can safely depend upon us to do what we have promised to the very best of our ability, then we shall possess one of the most es- sential of all qualifications—reliability In this great struggle for individual success we may seem so out-classed at first that we will be in- clined to succumb to despair. We must learn to la- bor and then to wait long for adequate and just re- sults; but rather than give up we should cultivate that spirit of perseverance which will remain ever undaunted and unswerving. This struggle will be won by earnest work, The world no longer asks who we are but insists up- on knowing what we can do. We must not hide our light under a bushel, but we should hold it aloft as a
