F VN Nfx Fifty years ago the first graduating class passed from this High School out into the world. How different they were from us Seniors of 1925! How funny they look to us now and what strange things they used to do! To them, however, we of today would seem just as amusing. But down underneath these things, are we so different after all? Has not the same end been the goal of every graduating class A? It is only that they started ahead of us. For fifty years now, these successive classes have been setting us a. high example to follow- and to surpass-on our road to success. - 'When we speak of success, what do we really mean? Do we all aspire to become famous actresses or millionaire oil magnates 1' The richest and most famous people are not always the most successful. lt is those who find the work they are suited for and endeavor to excel in that, who know true success. H If the elevator isn't running. take the stairs is a good saying to remember. All through high school, our elevator has been functioning continually and wc have had education and opportunity laid open before us. But the time will come some day when that 'flift will no longer be running, when we shall have to use the stairs or stay below. 'XVhich course are we going to pursue? How foolish to be lazy and wait for the elevator twhich may never comej when by a little extra exertion we may go on upwards. A steady effort on our part, using the elevator when we can, but not afraid to use the stairs, cannot fail to bring us to success. 'We Seniors are always being told that we stand on the threshold of life, about to go forth into the world. XVhat have we been doing these last four years but living? XYe have learned and accomplished many things. We have perhaps grown tired of studying-but we have carried on. Graduation is an achievement, which we should regard as the first of our successes. lf we keep steadily on, we cannot fail, and whatever we may do, we must not forget that our Alma Mater is counting on us to live up to the standards set by other grad- uating classes for the past fifty years. 15
