You have heen given the opportunity to grow in mind and in body. You have learned the meaning of good citizenship and good sportsmanship. Flay you always retain the spirit of good fellowship and the respect for the dignity of the individual which is part of our Clinton tra- dition. I bid you God speed and good luck.
