VALEDICTORY ( Continued ) We must not question the purpose of life. We must listen to that little voice within our conscience that tells us that we are here for a purpose, which will be revealed w r hen the proper time has come. So we might as well make the best of things, and spend our life in the way that will bring real happiness, and not in the way that will bring regret in the end. If you have made a mistake in the past, do not spend your life in grieving over that which cannot now be helped, but make amends as best you can, and then try to avoid mistakes in the future. Now I come to the last and the greatest thing necessary to success. That is self-confidence. If a man does not believe in himself, no one else believes in him and he has lost the battle before he has fought. “Bluff” must not be mistaken for self- confidence. The “bluffer” is conscious of his ow n weakness, and so is everyone else. If a man believes that he will fail, he will surely fail. The only way to gain self-confidence is to believe in your self, in your fellow men, and in God above. Now to everyone here, but especially to each and every member of the graduating class, as we go our separate way in life, and struggle to rise in the world and do something really worth while, I hope that we all shall remember that “Life’s treasures don’t alway go To the stronger or faster man. But soon or late, the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can.” —MARY JORDAN. Kvcrett Lyons: “When there is nothing else to do, 1 study. ' Page Six
