It is appropriate at this time to review our past life and activities, and compare them to our present welfare. If you will pardon a personal allusion, I come from the tumultuous land of Russia, where misery has reigned supreme for generations. Schools for youths of our age were closed to the majority, because of economic conditions. Governments changed swiftly, almost overnight. The Revolutionary Government coming into power, would stop a passerby on the street and demand to know his political beliefs. If opposed to the Revolutionary Government, he was made away with quickly. The following day a counter-Revolutionary Government would come into power. Its agents would also halt a pedestrian and demand to know his political ideas. If fpposed. he too was swiftly disposed of. Thus, those of our age were living in a period of suspicion, turmoil, and constant fear of death. They spent their lives in strife with no better prospect of better times, hardly being able to eke out a livable existence. We, graduating from this school at this moment, also have our fears as to our future. but they are not the fears of life or death. In this country we enjoy an indi- vidual frcedoni of which Bolshevik Russia could not boast. Opportunities are open to a boy of average intelligence, ability and industry. Here we can turn our talents into any phase of human endeavor, our activities being only slightly limited by racial and financial differences. The freedom in this country is so impressive, especially to a foreigner who came here only three years ago. Democracy seemed a fine theoryg but for me, it ended in theory. Voniing here to this National Farm School I saw it put into actual prac- tice. llernof-raey, meaning equal opportunity for all, led to the foundation of this school. It is a place where those liorn in the l'nited States as well as those born aliroad f-an eonn- and enjoy the fruits ol' their own labor. It is, Ladies and Gentlemen, not a Xa'ional lfarnn School, but an International l'lZl.I'Ill School. .Xnd now, fienllenien ol' the Board, we, the members ol' the graduating class of nineteen twenty-seven, wish to thank you for your labors, which have enabled the school lo carry on its work. lint we have more to be grateful for than mere labors.
