 PRAIRIE SMOKE .h-H-|.|'l'l l-I-|-l-I-I-l-l-l-l-I-V 9 TO THE CLASS OF 1924 “You are my friends, for you have smiled with me My help and hope in fair and stormy weather; I like you for the joys you’ve whiled with me, I love you for the griefs we’ve wept together.” You have been here in an epoch making year. The year the school moved from the Elks’ building to the New Building. For five and one-half years the school was housed in its temporary home and then March 28, 1924 it moved into is magnificent permanent home. This was a great day for the Dickinson Normal. It left the old building with all its traditions and memories. “And as we view the fading past And dream on days that fled so fast. Full many a thorn which once was ours Seems all a-blossom now with flowers. It came to the New Building with all its hopes and prospects for future years. ‘‘With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and h.'ap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat, Of the long day and wish ‘twere done, Not till the hour of light return All we have built do we discern.” You are going to graduate, going out to teach. You came to the Normal School to learn. You should go forth to serve. We hope you attain success in your calling. There will be difficulties in the way. To yield to them is easy to resist them is hard. You may make mistakes, but Emerson says, “Mistakes are opportunities for learning.” Thoreau says, “Men are born to succeed, not fail.” Lord Houghton says, “The virtue lies in the struggle, and not in the prize.” Much can be accomplished by being in earnest. Robertson says, “The world is given as a prize for the person in earnest.” Dickins says, “There is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, sincere earnestness.” Remember the three fold key to happiness, a hearty acquiescence in your lot, a hearty allegiance to duty, and a hearty appreciation of the wonders and beauty of life. Be happy yourself, make others happy. If you are happy, you will be successful. Happiness is the legal tender of the soul. There may be sorrow at night, but joy will come in the morning. “There’s an hour for toil and an hour for thought. And there is also an hour for play, But always find time in this weary old world To make some one smile each day.” — S. T. MAY y
