If-x X N it Q-j 10 g i f fn sf sauvtlll il il lllliitif- i 'ft E, To the Members of the Graduating Class: uThe world is so full of a number of things that were not within reach a generation ago that it seems as if nothing could really mean as much as it did in that slow old time. And yet I am sure that the hearts of all of you are heavy with the sense of what is ending here todayg with the consciousness that something has happened in the lasst four years that never can happen again. Perhaps too, there is a wistfulness and an apprehensive premonition of what is behind the veil. You will remember how, when you came here as Freshmen, some of the upper classmen took hold of your imagination. You wanted to follow in their footsteps and accomplish the things they had accomplished. As the years went on, and your OWI1 class began to take the lead, you became the guide and inspiration to those who were to follow after you. And you have been loyal to that trust. You have served on the Guard System and in other activities in the school with no thought of any higher reward that the privilege of serving, and by an example which was both noble and inspiring, you have ,infused that spirit into the entire student body. By your recognition of the possibilities of service, and your enthusastic devotion to the ideals of our school, you have verified the great saying of Emerson that the reward of a good work is to have done it. I shall look forward with you to the happy days which lie before you, for you have learned the one great lessson-the character of life as a trust. This will re- main your most priceless jewel-something whose influence is far beyond the worth of book learning or technical knowledge. This will not make you less ambitious of success in the work of your several callings, but it will infuse into that work a spirit which will make it a means of service to others. And the tumult and the shouting will never crowd out for you the remembrance of things that are more fundamental and more essential to the fuller meaning of life. ' The tumult and the shouting diesg The captains and the kings depart, Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart, Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forgetll' June 23, 1922. MADELINE SMIMELMEYER.
