be attained through the help of reading; not, however, the type that literally Hood our book markets today and are not worth the paper upon which they are printed. The world, in general, would not think of including Milton’s works as studies essential to the training of a mechanical engineer, nor would it understand that poetry is fairly part of the technical education of a chemist. Yet more and more clearly are educators coming to realize this, practical men to appreciate it, and technical schools to recognize it in their courses of study, and today the call is for men who, without ceasing to be practical and level-headed have yet the breadth and power which come from the best all-round mental training. Since the thoughts of the master minds of all ages are transmitted to us in the form of books, and these books are the embodiment of the souls of millions of friends, let us grapple the greatest of these friends to our hearts with hooks of steel, for by reading alone, do we acquire all our knowledge after our school days are gone. We should, therefore, select our reading matter as we do our friends, for they teach us the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Now, my friends, it is my duty to say farewell. We love to linger over the well-beloved scenes of our long years of toil and pleasure but duty calls us into other fields. To the teachers who have guided our youthful steps along the intellectual highway and taught us how to avoid many pitfalls, we extend our heartfelt thanks. In after years when we have wandered far from the scenes of our early training, we will ever remember and I m sure with increasing appreciation, the great part you have had in our lives. We wish each of you many years of health and usefulness and if we ever meet on the great highway of life, I assure you, you will meet true friends. To the school board who so carefully looked out for our physical comfort as well as our intellectual growth, we extend our warmest thanks. The best wishes of our graduating class will always be with you. To the Junior Class, who will next year take ur place, I bid you welcome and hope that you will appreciate the opportunities offered and make even a better record than your immediate predecessors. May good fortune smile on you and bring every happiness. Classmates, since early childhood some of us have moved along the same pathway. Many who started with us years ago did not reach the goal. The faithful few have kept on and today are the honored ones at these exercises. During all the coming years of life, we will look back to the companions we have had in our high school days. We will form new acquaintances and have other friends but never again can we have companions standing in the same relationship as we stand now. May every happiness be yours and may success crown your every effort. —Eeda Peters.
