Page Twelve T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number Salutatory There isg an old legend that tells of a king. who. each year. visited certain of his faithful subjects, who strove in every way to entertain him iittingly. His chief delight was to walk in their gardens where flowers of every variety bloomed. Regardless of weather. rejoicing in the different blossoms. he wandered. As fondly as he loved the beautiful rose. he loved the shy violet. No flower was too insignifif cant to draw a word of praise from his lips. Our garden. like theirs, contains many kinds of flowers-some blighted and faded: some radiant and fresh. With the hope that you too will rejoice among the blossoms that we have devel- oped, the Class of 1926 welcomes you to-night. Viola Barker Valedictory Classmates: To-night we meet here to receive our diplomasf These are the credentials, the passwords which will admit us to this new and fine college life. lVhether we go on in the quest of education or not, let us give forth the best that is in us.

We cannot fail to earn our letter if we have strength of purpose. Let us secure success for ourselves, honor to those we love, and prestige for the teachers and school that have given us such a fine start in life. With this pulrpose in mind, let us go forth into the world with light hearts. With the pleasantest of recollections, the fondest of mem- ories and the finest of ideals, let us say Goodbye forever to I.e Roy High School.

For you do crown this gladsome day Which marks the end of workful play, This day is great. it will be great, When dusty years shall seal our fate. Our life is made of three great days, Tha day from which. with a mother's praise. We start great Learning's Hill to climb To toil and seek a regal iind. There comes the super-sweetened day When we are armored for life' fray. And then the dim fore-tho't of hour, When death shall check our earthly power. But why to-day should we be sad? When God decrees that we be glad. So revel. comrades. on this second day Forget that we are out of clay. Rejoice that we are 2ll'lll9ll so well That we pushed on, when many fell. I hear the inspiring bugle call, To arms: press o11: we will 11ot fall It is the bngler of our host, Un. comrades. on, retain our post For. in the lead, in gallant robes Doth ride a man of tickle modes. This man, so prominent. in Fate He holds the key to any gate. We'll follow him who passeth forth To where the braves of life resort. Thru' thorn and briar, thru' thick and thin Thru' battle smoke and ghastly din, Thru' sunny. fresh. ethereal climes, Thru' ice and snow, ten thousand times. But he'll lead those who follow well Whose souls were never made to sell. Questions of this leader you propound To which no answers have been found, I tell you that this Man is You Whose breath exists in whate'er You do.
