Matvrman lNIy message to the senior class has been already given by Edward Osgood Grober. TEACHERS CREED 31 BELIEVE in boys and girls, the men and women ofa great tomorrowg that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as i11 tl1e pages of a printed book, in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example, in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in every thing that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the school room, in the home, in daily life and in out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. I be- lieve that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promises and in the divine joy of living.
