THE CALENDAR 49 Valedictory Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities And realities of your existence: So spoke the poet of old. This for us is the new dawn. It is the commence- ment, the beginning of a new day. We have experienced the period of doubt, of un- certainty, even of the darkness that comes before the dawn but the glory of the rising sun has dispelled our fears. We revel in its beauty and grandeur, its vastness and mystery. But we must face the challenge of the dawn. Before us is the new day. VVhat shall we make of it? How shall we use it? The glory of action, the bliss of growth, the splendor of beautyv are all ours if we will but reach forth and grasp them. It is for us to decide if we shall so live that every yesterday will be a dream of happi- ness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Tonight we leave our Alma Mater. It becomes us, the midyear class of 1929, to acknowledge our gratitude for what Hutchinson has done for us. We must say goodby to the kindly mother who has watched over us these four pleasant years. Aswe leave her sheltering walls, let us keep forever inscribed on our hearts the lessons she has taught, the truths and ideals she has inculcated in us. We have tried to add our share to her honors and to keep the faith with our Hutchinson. Her banner en- wrought with letters of light to us means Honor, Courage, Hope and Service. We look back over our school days with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. We rejoice because of the splendid guidance we have had here. We regret that we must leave behind this protecting care. We have been guided on the path that leads to higher things. We have grown in things spiritual. I if Tonight we take our place in the world as citizens of tomorrow. We shall have certain duties to perform, certain obligations that must be met. We must not fail or shirk. We must face our tasks with courage and with zest. It behooves us as future citizens of this great nation solemnly to vow that we will give the best that is in us. We are deeply thankful to Hutchinson for the preparation she has given us for our life work. The knowledge and training we have received will help us to solve many of our problems. We must be worthy of our Alma Mater because of what she has given us to keep for all time. It is not easy to bid farewell to our teachers, to our friends, to. our school, the school that we love so much. But with the challenge of the dawn before us and our beloved memories of Hutchinson we shall carry her ideals afar, for She calls for our allegiance To noble aims and fair, And in our souls we wear her seal, All life shall find it there. p EUGENIA C.
