 To the Class of ’47: You have now passed one of the dividing lines of life. Behind you are about seventeen years, each one carefully supervised by both parents and teachers. Ahead of you is the indefinable future. Business, school, and the working world will absorb you. From now on, each one of you must learn to initiate more and imitate less. While there are many worthy traits and characteristics exemplified by those you have known which you should imitate, if you are to make the most out of your lives, you will have to initiate fearlessly. A study of the great and successful shows them to be rugged individualists who initiated rather than imitated. As you go forth in life, remember these few things: You must not only use your opportunities, but you must also revive old opportunities; you must discover opportunities not yet explored: and perhaps most important, you must believe, in order to succeed, that challenging opportunities which are before you are possible of achievement. (Signed) John B. Hendershot. 6 The 1947 Sequin
