TO THE GRADUATES My message to you, graduates of 1950, concerns the value of little things. We are all interested in greatness, yet how few of us look for greatness in the little things of life. We think we must do some¬ thing spectacular in order to achieve greatness, when the little things we do now and wsll continue to do in later life are the important things. If cannot be otherwise, since all great things are made up of the little. A tea kettle singing on the stove was the beginning of the steam engine A spider web strung across a garden path suggested the suspension bridge An apple falling from a tree suggested the law of gravitation Similarly, a cheerful word on the part of a friend can brighten the entire day—-yet how insignificant is a word. Why did John D. Rockefeller become one of the richest men the world Has ever known? If was because he recognized the value of a dime. Why is Lincoln ' s greatness unforgettable? Not only because he was president at a critical time in our history, but because he was never too busy to help someone, no matter how lowly or seemingly insignificant Similarly, little acts of kindness and thoughtfulness on your part can brighten the hearts of all with whom you come in contact, whether in the home, in the school, or in the community. You are lighting candles in this world by your dally upright living. Little things will bring you greatest happiness or deepest sorrow Homes are made or destroyed by little things Not the big things, but the little things wear you out, or make life worthwhile. Daily attendance and study gave you a high school education. Day by day your practice of good citizenship and high standards of living are making you a worth while citizen of this great country of ours. i The small is made up of the same substance as the great. Why worry about the atom? For centuries It was considered powerless but we are just beginning to find out today the mighty power of this tiny atom. In the same way, a smile between individuals can be the basis of a peace which, if multiplied by all the individuals iin the U. S. and Russia, or any other nation, could mean a glorious era of peace. Life is so arranged that the least of us can stand for and represent the greatest things. Honesty in good government is indispensable, yei the little child can also have a share of it in the home and in the school. Unselfishness is important in the lowliest stations as well as in the high positions. You do not realize, my dear graduates, how close you may be to true greatness. Your history lessons have given you many examples. Columbus died without knowing he had discovered America. He actually received the small sum of S320 for discovering what is today our great nation, Let us always remember that our lives, no matter how insignificant they may seem to us, are never¬ theless important. When your work is well done you have followed the Master ' s call to obedience, for He said. Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto me ' So closely united are we to our Creator that to do good to one another is to do good to Him. Do not forget, my dear graduates, that by being true, loyal and faithful in the little things you are being truly great. Eunice E. Hannon Senior Class Advisor
