With that determination that characterized him throughout his entire career, he answered them grimly, There shall be no' Alps! , and they were led on to certain victory. With this unconquerable spirit, we as independant individuals shall meet all dimculties which come before us. And in our striv- ing to reach our goal, shall we make the coming generation real- ize the beauty of the world which we are .to enter. Shall we with Browning say: 1 The year's at the springg And day's at the morng Morning's at seveng The hillside's dew pearledg The larh's onthe wing 3' The snail's on the thorng God's in His heaveng All s right with the world!

1 . e, e THE ARGQNAUT -1YlCMXV,E,- Salutatory PARENTS, teachers, and friends: I I We, the class of l9I7 , hail you with enthusiastic greet- ings! During our school life, all our energies have been directed toward the hour of graduation. We have looked forward to this day, as the end of all our temporary aspirations, the realization of our ideals, the culmination of our ambitions. Now, that the anticipated hour is almost in sight, the crown of glory and honor that we wish to have, rests upon the amount of work we have accomplished: for in all cases, the end crowns the effort. A Having realized our youth' s ambition, we find, however, that at the end of this struggle, we are merely at the thresholdof a larger goal, which is but the stepping stone to another greater and broader one. Now we should find a point in the distance, to- ward which .all our future activities must be steered. As a ship that is pushed out upon the broad sea with no point in view will arrive nowhere, so shall we fail if we drift on the dark waves of chance, with no goal ahead. Therefore, to attain any degree of success, we must have a definite aim. In reaching this nobler purpose each of us must strive for himself: each goal is individualg and the aim worthy to be attained by one member would be unworthy of the ambition of another, whose nature is different. Our 1ife's work must yield fruitage, strength, and beauty , as. potent and powerful as each is able to accomplish. Ours will require the courageg ours the gain. Hence each of usmust choose his own path, each must tash his highest faculty. Few, if any, may reach the summit of human endeavor, but no matter what one's aim may be, with the motto, Perserverance Wins , forever before him, he shall be victorious. Though the obstacle in the path may look ominous and impassable, we feel that the individual instruction received in our school life will be of' aid to us throughout. When Napoleon, the greatest of generals, turned from his European conquests into Italy, his soldiers rebelled and scoffed at an adventure which seemed so impossible. You cannot
