These graduates may be found in practically every state of the Union. By far the larger number, however, will continue to live in Cleveland and enter its business and professional life. To all these graduates, and also to that even larger number of former pupils who did not remain long enough to complete the course of study, the old high school sends its most cordial greetings. It wishes for you the highest degree of success in your chosen field of endeavor, and it fondly hopes that you may often revert to the dear old high school days with feelings of gratitude to all those who helped in any way to make your stay there worthwhile. It is quite universally true, that after we have left the high school and are establishing ourselves in college or in the business world, we can much more readily understand just what the high school was really trying to do for us, and our estimate of its real value is enhanced accordingly. To the graduates of this year, the principal extends heartiest felicitations and most cordial good will. He and his associates, under whose instruction and care you have been for three years, express the hoi c that you have had a good time in this school; that you have made some worthwhile achievements. You should have added something to your stock of knowledge; your ideals and purposes should be enriched: your conception of your relationships to society and the state should assume a more tangible form. In fine, you should have made a fair beginning in the understanding of those fundamental essentials that are eventually to prepare you for worthy citizenship in the democracy, as well as those things which enter into the foundations of the profession into which you will go when high school days have been concluded. I trust that it may not seem impertinent or inopportune to remind you that the goal of success is not easily attained. The primrose path of dalliance and the just “getting by” habit are not likely to lead you to this desired ultimatum. You will find that in either business 01 the professions, the competition will be fierce and unrelenting. Only the strong and the capable will stay in the race and achieve distinction. All along through life you will see the wreckage of those who either were illy prepared or had not the requisite stamina to stay in the contest. Something akin to the burning enthusiasm of the ancient crusaders for their cause must grip your soul. An unswerving belief in and an undying passion for achieving in your chosen field, is the ultimate price that you will be called upon to pay for success. It used to be said of some of the ancient inhabitants of the islands in the Pacific Ocean that they believed that the strength of the wild animals which they killed in their hunting expeditions somehow or other passed into their own beings, and this gave to them the strength of supermen when they went forth to battle with the tribes about them, in some such way, it may be said, that every difficulty which you overcome, every barrier which you remove from your pathway, will give you added strength so to achieve that the joy which belongs only to those who stay in the race until signal success crowns their honest endeavor, may be yours in rich abundance.
