LEAVITT ANGELUS CLASS ODE Tune : One Rose Goodbye, l... l. to you And friends so dearg Even though we'll be apart, Still our thoughts will be near. We are leaving today from old L. l.g We now fondly bid you adieug And every day, as we wend our way, Our thoughts will come back to you. To our teachers, our schoolmates, and friends, And parents so tried and true, As we look back o'er the years And smile through our tears, We now sadly bid you adieu. Phyllis Tidswell.

T'ho' she's full of the very old scratch, She doesn't neglect her work, She never leaves a thing undone, And is never known to shirk. Popeye , you have certainly made a name for yourself. Although you have worked your way, you have also been in numerous outside activities. You have come through on top. Nothing but success can be waiting for you.

Literary SALUTATORY Trustees, Members of the Executive Board, Teachers, Parents, Alumni, Friends, and Schoolmates: The class of I 938 extends to you a cordial welcome to its graduation exercises. Another year has rolled away, and at last, look- ing with eager anticipation into the future, we stand upon the threshold of Leavitt. Now that the moment has ar- rived we find it hard to realize that we are about to leave the scenes of our happiest days. We are eager to go out into the world and meet the future face to faceg yet, with our hearts full of gra- titude for what Leavitt has done for us, we find it hard to break the ties which bind us so closely to our school. This is commencement, the begin- ning of our journey into life. ln start- ing upon this journey, we should have a definite idea as to our destinationsg otherwise, we shall drift hither and yon, aimlessly, like a ship upon the ocean, without chart or compass, or even a pilot, driven before every wind, and wrecked at last upon some unknown, barren rock. Why is it that so many fail, while Opportunities are so great, and possi- bilities so vast? The answer is obvious. Men are not willing to pay the price of success, they ignore the lessons of ex- perience, and, with eyes wide open, head their coursewstraight for the reef where thousands have gone down. Failure is the result of disregarding na- tural laws. Nature is not run on theory, or guess work, but is in accordance with inva- riable facts. When our lives are mold- ed in harmony with natural laws, suc- cess is certain. Nature does not exist in vain. The universe is not a stupendous blunder. Sometime, somewhere, God gives everyone a chance to win and wear a crown of Victory. We do not all desire the same things, nor all Wish to do the same kind of work. Thus nature secures. a variety of laborers for her various fields of toil. ln order to be successful one should early take an account of his stock in hand. For what is he naturally fitted? By this is not meant simply what one desires to do, but what one can do. For what has he an aptitude? Wishes, longings, impulses, however good, are not always the indications of genius, nor are they invariably a forecast of an adaptation for a special pursuit in life. If mere wishes could make men great, or rich, there would not be a poor or insignifi- cant person on earth. We must be our- selves. We have our own special place and work. We must find itg then, fill it. Let us do our work well. The world is in need of faithful, loyal workers. If our position is humble and lowly, let us strive for a higher plane. Larger posi- tions await us as soon as we are prepar- ed to fill them. After we attain a high- er place in our work we should still keep the qualities which brought us there. Life is full of opportunities. They are fairly hurled upon us. Look about you. This is an age of specialization,-in agriculture, in mechanics, in science, and in a thousand other fields. We can- not do all, but we can do one thing well. We can surely find the place and the work for which we are adapted, and, having found it, stick to it. Life is far too short to be spent in roaming. Friends, may you not be ashamed of the foundations which you have so carefully helped us to build. May we show our appreciation of your loyal guidance by holding high the banner of dear old Leavitt. May the structure that we raise upon this foundation spell usuccessn. Again, we welcome you to this last gathering of the class of l938. Lottie Lemain Gould
