CLASS OF TIlIUTY-EiaUT Ivy Oration lUi Dw ' ujhl M. Foirhr Not at the Top. hut Cliinbiii ' r Four years of work eoiuplctcd — another epi- sode of life froiie forever. Dnriiij; this time we have acquired at least some necessary char- acter development and scholastic education es- sential to meet the future vicis.situdes of life. Tlierefore. in api)reciation of the excellent op- portunities and advantajres which this school has offered, we are desirous of dedicating a lasting, living, inspiring memorial. Since ivy is now considered the academic symbol of intellectual victory, we choose this vine as a fitting memorial for the occasion. It might be of interest to note that many years ago. this vine, climbing th, ' stones of an old inn wall signified Wine with- in. At present, we see the identical vine and say. ■ Knowledge within. Today we root a small, insignificant plant in earth. Aside from the root there is little evidence of life, and little i)rospect of the inevitable glory to come. We may compare this to tli freshman with his satchel and shining morning face creeping like a snail, unwillingly to school. As the slowly growing vine extends its arms to the building, the sophomore likewise commences to oi-ieiitatc himself to lii snrroundiiig studi s. fellow students, and teachei-s. A strong affec- tion for the building becomes ap])arent as the ivy enters its third year of growth ; so does th,- junior sense a sentiment of warmth and appre- ciation for it. And finally, as tiie plant .shows definite signs of thriving and aciiieving great heights, so do new fields of endeavor draw forth the .senior, hnlf willing, half reluctant to be led onward up the steep climb. For years, yes, probably for generations, the ivy will continue to yield forth her increase : so will it be with us who. though perhaps we nev- er achieve such great heiglils. will, in our own small way ■■ lake the niost of what we yet may spend Before we too into the dust descend : Dust unto dust, and under dust to lie Sans wine, sans song, sans singer, and — sans end. The light of future glory shines on these yet young leaves. May it be a syndiol whereby the adoration and loyalty of the class of ' :3S will be fittingly expressed. f 2s 1
