Valedictory The achievement of high school aims is the genesis of later undertak- ings. The heights of the comparatively small successes which we have attained here only whets our mental appetite for greater issues and are but the foundations for the greater success which we hope to build in the future. Life is but a structure. The building of a life is begun in what high school signifies to us. We can best say farewell to these sacred corridors by following the teachings that our course has given us. As the founda- tion stones of the city skyscraper are hidden from the view of him who gazes upon its towering walls, so our many fundamental lessons will become unseen as life's structure is reared. They are there nevertheless. N o one can describe the partings of today g all that it means to us to separate from those with whom we have worked for so long. What makes the class of 1919 is pressed from the same mould as that which may be boasted of by other graduates. We have finished our course. Finished did I say? Rather we are just beginning. As we step out into life, doors are flung open to usg voca- tions beckon usg vast fields are fertile for the sowing and our chance to enter the struggle for success has come. When opportunity knocks we must answer and live up to what others expect of us, and we must not dis- appoint ourselves. We all have visions of what we are going to do after graduation and now it is our duty to materialize our dreams and: Welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strainj Learn, nor account the pangg dare, never grudge the throe. ETHEL BALDWIN.
