16 THE INTERLUDE if M VALEDICTORY I I FS: I-IAT great work has been accomplished or can be accomplished in this world ing without effort-even strife? Did the ancient Greeks win their high renown in the arts bv sitting calmly with folded hands, waiting or wishing for sucess? Did the old Romans build their mighty empire in a night, or maintain their strong position without a struggle? Was the spread of Christianity ef- fected without strife? Indeed not! It took much of labor and effort conscientiously ap- plied, before the goal was reached, but the re- sult repaid the means, for in the end, it was Victory! 'Tis very seldom the case that success is gained with but one attempt, and it is only when one is willing to laugh misfortune in the face and bravely start anew, that one truly deserves his success. Is not the case well illus- trated in the lives of Columbus, Napoleon, Franklin, Lincoln, and Edison? Columbus had to strive to provide resources for his trip to the Indies, at a time when nearly the whole world refused to trust in him, or believe his theories. Had he given up after his first un- successful attempt to convince someone that the world was round, or to procure financial aid for his explorations, the discovery of the New XYorld would have been much retarded, and the name of Columbus would have been lost to fame. Napoleon Bonaparte illustrates a slightly different phase of the same prob- lem. One can have misfortunes, and, by over- whelming them, win a final success, or one can have slight turns of good fortune and strive either for their repetition or for a grander suc- cess to crown them in the end. Napoleon did not stop and put on a complacently satisfied air the first time fortune smiled at him, but pressed on, until he was sure of an ultimate fame. Franklin and Lincoln typify perserver- ance, and finally successfully carried out ef- forts, not only to be somebody themselves, but to help their country and fellow-men. Edison is the type of the inventor. How zealously do they work and toil before their ideal is satis- fied, and they deem the invention worthy of being given the world! To bring this subject closer home. Who have a better chance of success, and who are gaining sucess more rapidly than the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Ten, who boast the motto, No strife, no victory ? Dur- ing our twelve years of school life have we not striven towards the goal of graduation? Now the goal is reached. NYe are graduated. VVe have enjoyed the pleasures of Commencement. Is this all? Shall we be absolutely satisfied with our present success, and stop there? If so, what were the use of our motto? NVith this, our first success as a stepping-stone, let us aim at higher things and reach ultimate victories in the school of life, in which it takes an infinitely longer period than twelve short years to reach Commencement, and success. Fellow-classmates, remember your mottog and, when disheartened, take heart, strive for your class and your motto, and victory will surely attend your efforts. But now, dear classmates, the parting words must be spoken. Four short years we have traveled together through the enchanted land of books, securing as many treasures as time and talent would permit. Our travels together are o'er. Each of us ninety-four students will pursue a different courseg but wherever we go, or whatever we do. let us always look back on our school life with pleasure and gratitude. IVe cannot bid farewell to our Alma Mater, and sunder the pleasant associations binding us together, without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe the teachers for their helpful advice and patient instruction. We thank them for the deep interest they have taken in our welfare. To them we owe largely our preparation for life. To them we owe a debt for moral as well as intellectual training. VVe hope that they will long be spared as zealously to watch over and as patiently to.di- rect the pupils who in future years may be given to their care as they have cared for us. And now, dear friends of the Class of Nineteen Ten, I wish you all God-speed, success, pros- perity, and happiness. Farewell,-a word that must be, and hath been, . A word which makes us linger-yet-fare- well I Esrn ER JACOBSON, '10.
