“
no ambition too great no gcod too far away, but that it may be attained. “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night.” Let us strive to keep ever before us the meaning of our commencement. Let us close our school career with the knowledge of past things accomplished and a hope for the realization for the future ideals and ambitions. “Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait.” —iM A RG U E RIT E DEARTH. [ -t—t—i—t—1 H i it 111 iftcj 11m es When I was young and full of grit, I had the kindling wood to split, but in these days of dig and hustle, 1 never get to try my muscle. We get our heat in ten-pound cans and turn it loose on pots and pans: We don’t have dirt and soot and smoke, and never shovel coai or coke. We tell the cook to fry the eggs, and all she does is turn some pegs and all the gas within ten miles will fry the fruit right up in style. So now instetad of morning work around the wood pile here I shirk, and though I’m weak I’m feeling fine and stay in bed till half-past nine.

Commencement [-t—t—t—t-i Commencement! What a thrilling word to hundreds of young school workers! How full of meaning the word is! How many bright prospects beyond it. Did you ever stop to think just what the word means? Let us consider it from a different standpoint. When we hear the word commencemennt our minds instantly revert to the scenes of school life, probably to some in the past, and surely to some in the future. We see the young High School student eager-eyed, excited, happy, feeling he has four years of work well done, ready to receive his reward. We see him step forward, receive his diploma, and step back knowing that the years work has been worth while. We follow him through four years more of good, steady appreciative college work. It is June. Once more he is engrossed in the joys and excitement of commencement. By this time he is older, sober by the thought that this is really his commencement, that he must part with friends, that ties strongly knit in the past must be broken. We see him mingle with his classmates, recalling happy days during their college life, and making bright an glorious plans for the future. Once more we see him step forward to receive the well deserved reward, with shining eyes and happy smile. His desire is gained the prize won the precious hours not spent in vain. All this seems to indicate that commencement mftins the end or to finish. But does it mean that? No. Commencement means a beginning of new things, something as yet untried, unknown. It really means then as we leave school, we are leaving behind the direction and guidance of teachers and fellow workers; we are no longer under supervision with help at difficult points, but thrown on our own resources, we must answer for ourself. Commencement means the beginning of a new life. The student is now a man or woman of the world. During his school career he has chosen his field of action. He must now enter upon those duties. How will he do it? Will he succeed or fail? Many are watching him. What will be the result? With beating heart and steady step, he marches forward, enters his career, keeping his high ideals and ambitions ever before him, knowing that “Success treads on every right step” and “not failure but low aim is crime.” No du'y neglected, never shirking, what will be the result ? Success, wholesome, well earned success. Let us therefore rpmember, young student, no ideal is too high.
