' . D these monstous difficulties and mastered them, and now we stand at the end of our schooldays, ready to begin life in a larger and more complicated realm. This day marks an end and a beginning. We now go forth into the world'about us to take an active part in the new era which lies before us. The war is over, hostilities have ceased, but a larger and more perplexing task faces the people of this wide world. What is this work which indicates an end and a beginning? The war is ended, but reconstruction of a new age, that of democ- racy, is just begun. The soldiers are trained in a camp by able and competent offi- cers to go out on the battlefield or on the sea and fight for a just cause. They are disciplined carefully for this labor, and they go into battle with skill, determina- tion and, above all, with knowledge gained from their leaders, who realize the importance of the duty. For the past three years we have been in our training camp with able and efficient superior officers, who have shared our hardships as well as our joys. They have encouraged us when the way seemed dark, and by their help we have gained an outlook on the life that stretches before us. We have been broadened in thoughts, ideas and apprehension of what is expected of us. We are only a small part of the great multitude who are to help in this reconstruction, but we hope we may cast our best infiuences far in this age. Realizing the respon- sibility which we shall soon assume, we are glad that you are here to share with us our last few hours. We, the Class of 1919, most heartily welcome our parents, relatives and friends to join with us in these, our Class Day exercises. Our parents may be proud of us, but it is we who thank you and appreciate your faith in us, and the sacrifices made that we should be better able to meet the problems which confront us. Our faculty deserve great praise and gratitude for their guidance over the stony paths. They have fostered within us higher ideas which shall always spur us on, and their lessons and words are stamped indelibly on our minds. We thank them for their infiuence in helping us attain this goal. Your friendship and companionship, Sister Classes, will never be forgotten by us. We love and honor you and extend our gratitude to you, because you have made our lives broader, richer, and fuller. May you ever hold in fond remem- brance the Class of 1919, strive for greater successes than we have accomplished, and profit by our failures. Only through true allegiance to our Alma Mater can we show the apprecia- tion of the efforts and help of our President and Vice-President. They are the center of the school, and the ideals and atmosphere in which they live are those that predominate in the school. As their ideals and aims mature, the school is stronger and better. Dear Alma Mater, we shall endeavor through the future to be true blue and loyal, that all may see these influences ruling our lives. As the boys in the' trenches have striven loyally and faithfully to the last moment and have so gloriously won this struggle for democracy, we hope we may fight a good nght in the world and that our Alma Mater will always be able to look upon the Class of 1919 with love and admiration.
