Maw! As we bid fond farewell to the members of the Class of 1953, we wish each and every graduate success, prosperity, and God-speed. You as a group, have distinguished yourselves as students by your ambition, activity, and loyalty to the ideals and heritage of Diman. May you carry with you the earnest desire of all those responsible for your education to withstand the grim and weary ways of life by bearing a bright and mature attitude toward work. Inasmuch as work is accepted as a necessary part of life, you should realize that it is the means by which you wrest from the world those possessions which make themselves both attractive and desirable to you. Posi- tion, wealth, knowledge -- whatever it may be - are derived and learned solely through work, for labor is a habit equally appli- cable to mental and manual accomplishment. You must be aware, then, that the vocational student who will succeed has his mind set on achieving accuracy in a work that involves inescapable de- termination to be an outstanding worker. We also hope that you will bear with you, your firm desire to attain achievementg for ambition is the force behind your toil. Ambition gives to life itspurpose since it is gauged by inner satsfac- tion rather than by the judgment of the casual onlooker. Never fail to remember that good positions are those which suit you -- those in which you can be useful and happy. As you depart, therefore, from the Portals of Diman and enter into a great and exciting future, may you be motivated by a.sincere desire to accomplish whatever goal you seek, with God forever guiding and inspiring your lives. ll
