pouaor ' a mpHaagp I PRIZE highly this privilege of ad- dressing the Seniors of the Class of ' 25 in particular and the rest of the stu- dent body in general upon the 54th an- niversary of Morton High School. In my estimation there are several things that have contributed to your success in Morton High School. I shall mention four which will undoubtedly be of use to you in after school life. Morality — There is such a thing as right. Leaders of tomorrow, in claiming your rights, you are bound to be mind- Lful of the rights of others. Work — There is not anything that can take the place of systematic con- scientious effort in preparation of your daily lessons. This kind of effort that makes your school life a real success will undoubtedly assure you of success in later life. Work ! The ardor, the urge, the delight of it — Thank God for the might of it — Work that springs from the heart ' s desire, Setting, the soul and the brain on fire. Oh what is so good as the heat of it And what is so good as the beat of it. And what is so kind as the stern command Challenging brain and heart and hand? O. W. Nicely Thank God for a world where none may shirk. Thank God for the splendor of work. School Spirit — There are two kinds. I shall mention the helpful kind only. School spirit is a deep seated loyalty among the students for the school and its associations, believing the school is sincere in its motives and honest in its en- deavors to help the students to find themselves and make the most of their school lives. School spirit out of school is usually called enthusiasm. Be that as it may. Students cannot be dead, lifeless things, for the soul is dead that slumbers and these lifeless ones are exactly what they seem. Ideals or vision. Life is real! Life is earnest! But the person without Ideals or Vision is little above the beast for thence a paradox — What I aspired to be, and was not, comforts me: A brute 1 might have been, but would not sink i ' the scale Twelve
