B Grectiiid to tbe eia$$ of m WE stand every day upon the eminence of the present — the past below us for our instruction, the future above us for our inspiration. But at certain times we seem more plainly to have reached a resting place where we may take our breath and gain fresh strength for the upward climb. Such a place you have reached at the close of your high school life. Merry-making is appropriate to celebrate the height already attained ; joy at your well-earned success is natural, but a little serious thinking is helpful too. Your school life in all essentials is like to the world of college, of business, of home, and of society, upon one or all of which you now enter. A quiet, steady doing of the duties that were plainly yours, a simp ' e living of the highest principles you knew at the time — this is what has given you the good conscience and the happy heart of to-day ; and this is what will lead you on to new and honorable successes. By this time you have learned to know yourselves, and you have a notion, growing clearer each day, of the particular service you can do for the world. Just as the bean-vine can produce nothing but beans and the rose-vine nothing but roses, so can you produce only such services as are the natural fruit of your character. Therefore be true to that individuality you have found within yourself ; envy no other his differing talents — beans and roses both form a part of the great world plan. In all calmness live your own self, your truest and deepest self, and in doing this you may be sure you are adding something good and necessary to the world-life which no one but you could have given. Make friends of nature, of great books, of beautiful pictures, of noble music. If possible, let no day pass without invoking the help of one of these friends. A noble line of poetry singing in the heart, a tender picture dwelling in the soul, will gently hold one in the path of duty throughout the day. In Berkeley, nature has been specially kind to you. May the gentleness of the hill-slopes, the firmness of the hill outlines, the dignity of the oaks and pines, the calm breadth of the bay, all be symbols of the lives you are henceforth to live. With a hearty hand-clasp, we bid you good-bye as members of the class of 1899 from the threshold of the Berkeley High School ; and we wish you a God-speed in the new world of activities lying outside that door. F. W. McLean. 28
