Tonighl out- feelings of joy and sorrow are mingled. Joy, because we have accomplished so much ; sorrow, because we will not be in the dear old school next year. We feci sorry that our class which has worked together for four long years will be broken up and perhaps never all be gathered together again. Now although we have struggled hard to gain these heights on which we stand, we realize we would never have reached them if it had not been for willing and efficient help: if someone had not held down to us strong and capable hands. So we wish to thank all these helpers gratefully and joyfully.- First the directors and taxpayers who planned the journey and provided ns with guides and staffs. Second, the teachers who served as such competent guides inspiring us always to keep climbing upward, and helping us over the difficult places. Lastly, our parents and friends, who have sacrified many necessities in order that we might have the proper equipment and provisions for climbing. To friends and teachers we say, farewell. And to every member of the (’lass of 1921 who has successfully reached I lie summit of this wonderful climb, I say: Heaven is not reached at a single bound. But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true, That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a fairer view. We rise by the things that are under our feet. By what we have mastered of good or gain, By the pride deposed or the passion slain And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. ESTHER MORRISON. 29
