Class Presidentls Nlessage: HE race is run. We have reached our goal, and now for the greater race, the greater goal. We can run our race with confidence, but let us not forget the rules of the game. Play square. Remember that goals unfairly won do not mean victory. And when you have conquered, do not fail to look back with thanks to those who gave you your start at the beginning of the road. It is not possible that we should fail in the everyday conflict when we are armed with such weapons as those given to us here at Kensington-a sense of fair play, an appreciation of what is fine and beautiful, and the hope of always being true to those to whom we owe the best that is in us. We have learned our lesson here, where our shortcomings are brought to light only to be remedied, where our failures are met with inspiration to do better things and with the hope of success next time, and where our chronic youthful hopelessness and fatality are dis' pelled by the experience and the spirit of new adventure in our friends and teachers, We cannot expect the world to treat us so kindly. Vv7e have, however, discovered just what we can call our best. The world never asks anyone for more than his best. And so, dear friends, give it. We shall not fail. XVe cannot! Sincerely, lVl.-XRGARET CQJULTER Class President
