CARDINAL () F 1 9 .3 1 A FAREWELL TO THE SENIOR CLASSES YOUR committee asks a farewell to the senior class. Not as your principal, but as a fellow student, may I pen some thoughts that come to mind? Education consists of changes: it consists of changing a person, or helping a person to change himself from what he is into what he ought to be. Changes come only from within: a person is changed only by what he does. You are the only person who can change you. Your parent, teacher, or principal may furnish machinery, methods, and motives to bring about these changes that constitute real education: but you are changed only by those activities in which you choose to participate. It is the ignoring of this principle that causes your parents, teachers, and principal to make mistakes with you. We teach you to walk too soon, or we keep you creeping too long. The big things in life are such things as virtue, honesty, service, kindness, judgment, refinement. Some day we shall have courage enough to organize our homes, schools, and communities as laboratories for developing such qualities: and we shall have sense enough to know that the growth of all good things is slow, and that you develop any quality just exactly as you learn to skate, to sew. to kick a football, or to play an instrument. We parents, teachers, and principals have talked much about scholarship. All this effort has been for your benefit, not for ours. What you have done in scholastic lines has been for your benefit, and you now have the wit to see it. Scholarship is what you do for yourself: it is something you take out of and away from a school. But the person who gets and takes only is not truly educated. No one is properly educated until he gives of himself, his time, and his efforts. Get all you can. but give too. You will be remembered for what you have done for others. This criterion is not for seniors alone. Apply it to those students who follow you. to your teachers, to your principal. A school in which the teachers and principal earn their salaries is just another brick building. You will want your younger brothers and sisters to go to that school in which all the teachers and the principal “go the last mile.” —Ross N. Young. Eigbittn
