The time of graduation is an impor- tant occasion in the lives of the members of the Class of ’52. It is a time when everyone of you is looking to the future. Some are thinking of college days while others are planning to secure jobs imme- diately in industry, stores, offices, etc. If there is any one thing I hope you have learned more than others during tin- four years spent here, it is that work is the most honorable thing in life. A life work along useful lines is a successful life no matter what degree of fame or fortune is the final result. There is nothing more repulsive than to see a young man spend his days in seeking his own idle pleasures without adding one thing mental or material to this great bustling and needy world. A poet has given us a beautiful thought along this line of thinking : “If the goal is worth possessing, it is worth the price in pain; If you have a dream worth holding, it’s worth struggling to attain; For the joys that last the longest, as the distant bends are turned, Are not the easy splendors, but the joys which you have earned. “If you’d reach the mountain’s summit, you must have the will to climb ; If you’d rise to fame and glory, you must work and bide your time; For the victory that’s sweetest when life’s full returns are in Is the one that tried your patience and took all your strength to win.” In whatever endeavor you take up, may you ever remember the thought the poet has so ably ex- pressed in these few lines of the poem. With this thought goes my best wishes for success to each member of the Class of ’52. Claude P. Roos Principal Claude P. Roos Principal Each person who starts out in life hopes that the path will be smooth, the hills easy, the sun not too hot nor the winds of winter very cold. In other words, we dread the hardening and toughening process which nature seems to need to make sturdy men and women. 8 The 19a2 Edisonian
