HICAGO has its Lindbergh Beacon which shines far out across the distant horizon .... gigantic . . . . famous .... powerful .... so powerful that its great carbon filaments must be replaced every few hours. . . . How comparable that is to Minnehaha with its great beacon light .... the graduating class .... aflame with ambition .... aglow with an unquenchable vision of greater things .... now having warmed its hands by the dying embers of their high school career .... must move on ... . the filament is sending out its final flare . . . . soon to be replaced by newer filaments .... those that follow.................................................. How true it is of each ray that has formed the composite beacon .... some have been greater lights .... others lesser .... but all have been united by the undying fire of a common endeavor .... considered collectively, we .... as do perhaps all graduating classes . . . . believe our combined filaments .... our talents . . . . abilities .... qualities .... to have produced the steadiest, strongest, most powerful light ever to radiate from our Alma Mater....................................... As a prism catching one great beam, we have been separated as individuals into myriad lights of accomplishments .... journalism, leadership, forensics, athletics, and music................................................. Our career surely has had its sorrow . . . but ours too have been joy .... ours have been trials . . . . but ours too have been triumphs .... and so we come . . . . eager to meet and conquer the difficulties which life presents .... eager, too, to drink to the dregs what joy may come our way .... all the while letting our light so shine before men that they may sec ... . and glorify our Father which is in Heaven..................... 1 G R A D U A T E S
