To run this hard and stubborn world just as it should be rung But much l fear they'll find that facts Don't always track with dreamsg And running this old earth is not As easy at it seems. As seniors we are prone to think Our wisdom is complete. NVe've but to ask-the world will lay lts trophies at our feet. But schooldays done and work begun, We learn to our regret The College of Experience VVe have to master yet. Ambition beckons on to us And eagerly we press Toward a distant, gleaming goal, The Temple of Success. It seems a pleasant journey at The dawning of life's dayg But as we stumble on, it grows A long and weary way. The world has garlands and applause At graduating time: But may forget us the next day, Vvhen we attempt to climb. Life is battle where each one Must seek and hold his own. He who would rise above the crowd Must scale the heights alone. This is the rule of life today, As it has ever been' The xx oild bestoxxs its smiles on those Who have the strength to urn beneath all outu ard semblances lt looks for meiit true It little cares how much you know But asl s what can you do? VVhen you have left your college halls Xou re barely at the start For Wisdoiii s height is infinite And long the ways of Art Youll find that in the school of life Acts count for more than dreams And running this old earth is not -Xs easy as it seems AkONYMOLb 2.445 - v n '71 ' ' - c e e . , . i 5 v I L 1 J , - C 1 I ,Y v Vs i , C 1 Q ' c 7 x f y . , . h . . . -L 0 , A . .

:AS A - , ' 4 short, our station in life has been suddenly reversed. We have now reached the most prominent milestone of our career, as far as our occupation is con- cerned, Before passing into the obscure future, let us stop a moment to answer one question which has undoubtedly often risen in the mind of every one of us. For the past six years, our primary aim was to complete successfully the academic and professional course prescribed by our dear alma mater, and thus become full-fledged teachers of the Christian Day School. Now we have achieved that aimg hence the question: Have we not now reached the zenith of life, the height of our ambition, and are we not now entitled to relax our efforts in the future? Ah, dear friend, look up to the fiaming letters of your class motto and seek the answer there: Excelsior V' That is the answer that outlines the course that you are to pursue. Excelsior! Higher, and ever higher i That is your answer. Excelsior! That is the lesson that Oliver VVendell Holmes so cleverly draws from the chambered nautilus: Even as this simple creature con- tinually abandons its old abode, as its body advances in size, and builds a larger one: so we, also, should ever advance over past standards, and untir- ingly strive towards higher ideals and greater attainments. Thorwaldsen says: I must be going down-hill when I find my works equal to my aspira- tions. Therefore, dear class-mate, if ever the seducing thought occurs to you that you have attained your desired goal, just remember then that that is the first symptom of intellectual decay. This is a very fatal disease. But there is a cure: Excelsior! -that's the cure. Dash an extra strong dose of it over this poisonous thought that is impairing your intellectual health. and drive every last trace of it from your mind. If you are looking into the future for a path strewn with fiowers, you are extending a most cordial invitation to disappointment. Remember the words of Leighton: Adversity is the diamond dust heaven polishes its jewels with. As a Christian Day School teacher, your career will be highly seasoned with the spices of adversity. Many obstacles will come. Then look up to the fiery banner that holds your class motto: Excelsior! -and let that teach you obstacles come only to be overcome. If, after teaching a goodly nunr.ber of years, you feel no further want in your qualities and qualifications as a teacher, but feel inclined to pleasure and rest. then think of the solemn pledge you have made with your class: Excelsiorl -and, as President Garfield has said, be fit for more than you are now doing. 'Excelsiorln I,et this peremptory entreaty remind you that as a Chris- tian, also, you must ever endeavor to grow in the knowledge of your Maker and Redeemer, and in virtuous deeds towards your God and fellow-men. To this end, let your class motto arouse you to unfiinching diligence and inten- sity in the study of Scripture, the unwavering foundation of all human wis- dom. Inscribe your motto upon every milestone of your Christian pilgrim- age, and let its golden letters point out to you the path that you, as an earnest and zealous Christian, must follow. I-Excelsior! In this one Word all the desirable ideals and aspirations are embodied. Higher, higher, and ever higher. perfection in any branch of human knowledge is a phantom you must chase until the poor dust of your being is moulded into heavenly forms. -J. A. K.
