OUT OF THE HARBOR - INTO THE DEEP You are with us, kind friends, to witness the close of another sbhholastic year, to see the barge of another class sét out upon Life's great sea. For years past you have watched us wend our way through Learning's sacred confusions of thought. And now, having reached the goal assigned us in the race, we feel a determined purpose to so guide our lives throughout the future years as to reflect credit. upon this school and its patrons. QDooking out upon the world which is so soon to become the theater of our activity, we cannot help distrusting more or less our ability. Oub of the harbor into the deep. Behold! We are pilots of our ships. Are we competent to steer toward safety, or, through weakness, shall we be lost? Shall we, by wantonness or sloth, drive the gallent ships to- ward the breakers, or shall we stand boldly to the tiller, guided by the polester and be safe? A Alma Mater, within thy hallowed walls have we drunk from the spring that ever fails! Everour souls will burn with love of thee, and oft our . thoughts will turn to thy bright scenes. Thy counsel true will ever light our way, what path we may pursue, Farewell. Schoolmetes, from you we must separate, but in these our parting words, let us cheer you on. and bid you remember that Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. We will ever think affectionaltely of you, dear friends, and co-laborers in Learnings's sacred cause. Farewell, To the members of the graduating class, whose relationship each to each has been that of love,and friendship, let me ssy that as we have sown, so shall we reap. We have exerted every energy, braved diffeculties, surmounted obstacles and won victories. Henceforth, we enter upon a different arena. Who can say what the destiny of each may be? Every .good deed that we do, every triumph that we achieve, will be due to ourselves alone. Accident- ly circumstances are worth nothing except to those who have been trained to take advantage of them. A great occasion is worth to a person exactly what | his previous preparetion hes enabled him to make of © it. May we all find our spheres in the world, fill them well, and live to a good purpose,

And now, let us beseech Him Who knoweth the wants of His children to teach us longer and prepare us not only for life but for the blest abode which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God, - Dear teachers, let us draw near to you in the name of the class for the ceaseless interest you | have manifested in our studies and for the tire- less effort you have exerted in our behalf, Your approval of our successes are accompanied with words of love, You man send us away but to you we cannot say farewell, Oh, Sweet remembrance of these hallowed walls, Shall e'er be ours till death our Spirits call, To meet beloved ones and forever dwell Where never echoes that sadl word--farewell! ™ Valeria Cigagna-Salutatorian
