11 Wfith pleasure I bring greetings and best wishes to you. Your enthu- siasm, optimism and courage are a daily inspiration to me. I am grateful for the privilege of being a teacher. For each of you I wish the best in life. Please do not expect the best to be given you-go out and earn it. Time and place provide you with opportunities. Your physical vital- ity, mental strength, moral sanity, and spiritual awareness constitute your capacity. Protect, enlarge, and use your capacity to make good with your opportunities. Success is yours for the earning. Do not worry too much about the days that are gone, or the days that are to be. Your yesterdays are forever past and your tomorrows are uncertain. Meet successfully the responsibilities that are yours today- here and now. Life itself is merely a succession of nows. To do well now is your task and in it lies your hope. I wish for each of you 21 most happy and successful life. Sincerely, l Q 0 -.- Z4 jugu i'l!'lL'iI 4: M- .--A - le,
