PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS » sFFsi AMBROSE J. POWELL • 'epcyr » id5i UR PRESIDENT has the honor of being salutatorian. I have been appointed by the class to give this address. We have come to the end of one short journey, or rather we have paused to rest awhile in a bright spot, ere we continue the one long journey we must all make. And while we rest, it may be of advantage to retrospect as well as prospect. It is my pleasure, at least, to look over the way we have traveled together. There is little in my mind tonight to make this retrospect regretful or sad. We have been learners together, and the teachings of our experiences and counsels have been full of beauty and of earnestness. The hour has come to say adieu. We have reached the one goal for which we have nobly striven through days of faithful, persistent labor. As we look back over the past, with all its great and wonderful victories and achievements, and look forward to the future, with all its more wonderful promises of great and glorious things to come, we must not forget to pause for a moment and give thanks for the privileges which we have enjoyed through the fostering care of our school board, the financial aid of our tax payers, the instructions of a learned and able faculty, and last but not least, the sacrifices of our parents, who so patiently gave their all that we might have these opportunities. This imposes upon each of us the obligation to furnish by our lives and deeds a justification for the outlay and sacrifices made for us. Let me counsel you fellow classmates not to be at raid of work. Our success in life will depend upon our readiness and ability to do the work the world has for us to do. If we make ourselves necessary to the world, be assured that the world will take care of us. Your courage and willingness to begin at the bottom is the surest guarantee that you will reach the top. Remember that he who fills a position of great honor has first filled the smaller positions of trust. That which will aid or hinder us most in life is our character. It has been strik- ingly said that we bring nothing into the world but capacity and take nothing from it but character. Men may injure’or destroy our reputation, but our character is beyond their reach. It lives and grows within the inner sanctuary of our own soul, and can not be touched by the hands of another. May we carry into each community where we go. standards of noble living and devine thinking, which shall contribute to the advancement of the community and of mankind. Let us not forget, amid the pressing activities of our daily life, the fond parents who have made it possible for us to attend this school. In parting let me leave with you for your encouragement, guidance and stay for for all years that are to come, a sentiment which I would fain engrave upon the heart of each of you. “Who walketh uprightly walketh surely. May the richest blessing of kind providence ever abide with you my classmates.
