N. . . emladariize fArou9A eclucafion fodrance of iclea 5 . . . U As we stand on the threshold of a new era, we look back upon the three years of guidance and faith which our teachers have given us. We regret leaving them because they are good friends of ours, but we take with us the knowledge which was so carefully imparted to us, and our memories. We remember that in three years we have learned the true meaning of tolerance. Tolerance- of mathematics which is so exact in all directions, of the science of things around us and in us, of all the different forms of literature, of the melodious sounds and forms of our own and other languages, of the things in our past and the past of other nations which affect our lives, of different ways to dress and to prepare foods, of the works of many old and new artists, of beautiful harmonies of music previously strange to our ears, of the ways of the business world, of the rules of'sport, and of the ideals of others which are different from our own. We know that in order to find the good points in others we must first be conscious of our own faults. We have learned that tolerance is synonymous with education. In order to become educated we must sever the cords of the past which narrow our vision, and must go ahead into a new and better world. Through the knowledge and friendships which we have gained we shall be better prepared for the great task which lies ahead of us. Our paths which ran together for three years will now be scattered and each of us will go her own way-alone, into a new world, be it that of business, higher education, or the home. Our teachers have so helped us in the past, that we are now able to go forth alone and to help ourselves to what is right and abstain from what is wrong. We are tolerant enough of ourselves to realize that there is a great store of knowledge which we have never touched and never shallg that as we advance in life, there will he many diflicult things within and about us which we must solve alone and unaided. But as we step forth as citizens of the atomic era, we shall always remember and apply those principles and qualities which our teachers have, through three years of hard work, guidance, and tolerance, shown us to be the best.
