THE DIAL TO THE CLASS OF 1935 The message I should like to give to you is found in the words of a simple little metaphorical poem: If you canlt be a pine on the top of the hill Be a scrub in the valley-but be The best little scrub on the side of the hillg Be a bush if you can't be a tree. u If you can't be a bush be a bit ofthe grass Some highway to happier makeg If you canlt be a muskie then just be a bass But the liveliest bass in the lake! VVe can't all be captainsg some have to be, There's something for all of us here There'S big Work to do and therels lesser to do And the task we must do is the near. If you can't be a highway then just be a trailg If you can't be a sun be a star, It isn't by size that you win or you failg Be the best of whatever you are. With all good wishes for your happiness and success, Faithfully yours, MILLICENT M. Coss
