Principal ' s zJlfCessage To the Graduating Class: J¥any centuries ago, in the days when Rome was spreading her dominion over a large part of the then known world, there lived a poet whose genius has gained for him in the passing years the name of one of the most gifted writers of Latin literature. Vergil is known as the author of many lines that shall live as long as the world shall last. And probably the most famous of these is the one containing the memorable words describing that quality which is the most important factor in the attainment of success. To you of the graduating class, I want simply to say, as did the Roman poet: You can if only you will believe yourself capable. In whatever walks your future life may lie — in college or in the world at large — remember that you can do anything you like with your life and with outside influences if you have the faith to be- lieve that it is possible and the earnestness of purpose to carry it through. “They can because they think they can” — and so may you also. There is very little that is impossible in this life of ours to the one who steadfastly attempts to do that which lies within his power. Just as the racers on the sea were spurred on to vic- tory by the spirit which recognized only success, so will you attain success in proportion as you refuse to admit defeat. I wish to convey to you my earnest hope for a future in which you will know only the contentment which comes from achievement; and this, I feel, is assured if you will accept as a guide these words of a famous Roman: I’ossunt quia posse videntur.
