THE I-IAVERLINGUIST .llazlumfoffy Friends, Teachers, Classmates: The Class of 1918 cordially bids you welcome to these Class Day exercises. The time is at hand when Haverling must cease to be a reality in our minds and vanish to a memory of the past. We are here to pay our last common tribute to Haverling before we go out into the world to enter upon our separate life duties. At the mere thought of graduation we are filled with a boundless feeling of pride and joy, which is limited only by a feeling of reluctance in parting. Graduation marks the closing of an act in the great drama of life in which we are all playing a part, and the beginning of a new act. It is a most solemn ceremony. It inspires us with a feeling of reverence for the past, and with hope for the future. P But our minds will not long be occupied with thoughts of the immediate past. Rather, we shall be thinking seriously of the future, with all the joys and adventures it has in store for us. Because of the training received in Haverling we shall go forth into the world better fitted to cope with the problems of life, more competent to execute the duties of citizenship, and more confident in our ability to bear our share of life's burden. Graduation is a goal well worth striving for, and we may well be proud to have attained it. Yet we should not be content to have merely reached this goal. Let us use it as a basis to a still higher goal in education-one at which we may make our influence felt still more in the world about us. The value of a college education cannot be set too high. The greatest opportunities are Waiting for those who are trained for their profession in college. A college education cannot accomplish everything for us, it is trueg much will depend upon our own initiative and readiness to grasp opportunitiesg then we will appreciate the training we received in Haverling. W'e shall always attribute the cause of our success in part to the wonderful foresight and wisdom of the teachers of Haverling. They were ever interested in our success while we, at times, were in- different to it. They never lost sight of the great goal we were striving for and they urged us on when we, in momentary despair, would have abandoned all attempts to reach it. We hope their efforts have been rewarded in part, at least, by our success. When we leave the guiding hand of Haverling we shall enter a world strange to us, it will regard us with cold indifference, it is filled with unrelenting hardships and temptations-obstacles in the pathway to success. The honor and glory that we bring Haverling and ourselves will be measured by the extent to which we are able to utilize our training in overcoming these adversities. We are proud of Haverling. It is our duty to conduct ourselves so that Haverling will be proud of us. Our responsibility rests upon this duty. It is to us a most solemn pledge. We must keep faith and do our share. We can because we must. page I-wvizly-six
