OUR MOTTO: GREEN AND GROWING The ideal must be far enough above us to keep us looking up toward it all the time, and it must be far enough in advance of us to keep us struggling toward it to the end of our life. It is a very poor ideal that one ever realizes, and it is a great misfortune for one to overtake his ideal, for, when he does, his progress stops. I was once made an honorary member of a class and asked to suggest a class motto. I suggested 'Ever-Green' and some of the class did not like it. They did not like to admit that they ever had been green, not to speak of always being green. But it is a good class motto because the period of greenness is the period of growth. When we cease to be green and are entirely ripe, we are ready for decay. Ilike to think of life as a continual progress toward higher and better things-as a continual unfolding. There is no better des- cription of a really noble life than that given in Holy Writ, where Solomon speaks of the path of the just as 'like the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.'
