N . 1 X gf f - vls e ep 4 P l I 4 Commencement Commencement does not signify the end but merely the beginning. Our learn- ing in school prepares us for this. If we plant our seeds in school they will bloom abundantly for many future years. The more learned in school, the less learned after. We should always aim high and although we fall short of our anticipations we are sure to go somewhere near them. Commencement is our reward for the many years of toil and hard work we have endured. We look upon it as the climax of our work, of our education or learning. Experience is the best teacher is an old saying, but, nevertheless, true. It is with remorse and joy that we near our goal-remorse for the breaking of bonds of friendship, and joy for the attainment of our goal. But now that our goal is in sight we realize that after all it is not the end of all things but merely a stepping itone to bigger and better things. We have often longed for this commencement day. At last, the hour that We have anticipated draws near, and it is in accordance with the work we have accom- plished whether the end will bring joy and triumph or regret. Most young people thinkjthat amusement and recreation are the main objects of life, that as long as we enjoy ourselves life is worth while. This is a mistaken idea, however, because it is easily proved that life cannot be enjoyed without some amount of labor. Do not leavb school with the idea of having a good time Without fitting yourself for your life's work. Idle men that have no work can have no play. We have ll0t concluded our course, by any means, but are just commencing a new one. We should now find another point in the distance toward which we should direct our future activities. Nothing can end well that has not a good beginning. The height of a personfs triumph is always measured b his own personal ability. Oh that at man might know, The and of this e1ay': business ere it comes!
