JUNE, 1928 5 Q Once again the season has come when Madison is ready to send out a large group of young men and young women who but such a brief time ago came to us as youngsters just entering their teens-shrill of voice, cheru- bic of countenance, and entirely without guile orithat type of wisdom pee culiar to the wily senior. Xllordsworth once asked his very little son which he preferred-the sea.- shore or the rolling country in the linglish lake district. ,The child preferred the seashore. XVordsworth asked him why. Frankly the boy answered that he did not know. Wlieii NVordsworth pressed the little lad for a reason, he gazed bewilderedly about him and, spying a weather vane upon the top of achurch steeple, said, Because there isn't any weather cock at the beach. If I were to ask the boys and girls of this graduating class what Madison has done for them, unlike Wordsworth, l should not press for an answer because I do not believe that they know. Only with the passing of the years will come some analysis and introspection. It is our hope that our boys and girls will take away with them many jewels of great price. It is our hope that we in some small measure have helped them to grow strong in body, keen in intellecft. staunch of soul. We hope that we have given them a new point of view, a. healthy curiosity, and a degree of faith in themselves and in their fellows. NVe hope that we have awakened in them a desire to do creative work and a will to achieve. XVe hope that they now realize that at the time of graduation they have merely laid the foundation work of education, that all life from babyhood to senility is but a continuous educative process. XVhether or not we are eventually to realize our hopes, only the future can reveal. But this we know. To every boy and to every girl we extend our best wishes. NN'e bid them to be of good courage, above all else to be honest with themselves, to be industrious and faithful, especially in the small things of life. The big things will then take care of themselves. This way lies happiness. lie happy. A. lX'lCJR'l'IMER CLARK
