To the Class of 1927 : The four years of association with you, beginning with your entrance into Bloom, has wrought in me a feeling toward you akin to that a devoted parent feels for the welfare of his child. In those years, changes, probably the greatest changes that ever occurred or ever will occur in you, have taken place ; and you stand forth, today, in your young manhood and young womanhood, eager to vie with others for a worthy place among men and women. In that time your physical body has matured, and so, also, has your brain. You have had four years of high school education, a real achievement. I am reluctant to see you leave Bloom, but I am anxious to have you realize your ambitions and your dreams. The parent who, unthinking, wishes his child might always be a child, and in his hom«, would find the realization of that wish his greatest sorrow. Life without growth, growth without maturity, would mean death in life. So, I bid you go. As you press toward the goal of your ambition, whether that be to take a course in college, or to develop in the school of life., ponder well the wisdom of The Book. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord. You have developed, along with the training of your mind, a power to choose and to act. You are expected to use your intelligence in safeguarding your liberty, and the liberties handed down to you as a citizen of our land. You must justify, by your sterling worth, in service, the expenditure of money, and the sacrifices otherwise made by the Community, the State, and the Nation, to give you the privileges and opportunities ofi ered at Bloom. If your powers have been quickened and strengthened through the influences at Bloom, let it be shown in blessing other lives. I shall be disappointed if you do not succeed, and I shall rejoice in all your victories. Sincerely your friend, (6 - c . X m Tiventy-three
