THE BEACON, JUN12.: x36 SPONSO'R'S MESSAGE At a time like this, words seem inadequate to express the true feeling in the heart of one who has been s-o keenly interested in the welfare of a class for the past four years. As class sponsor, it has been indeed gratifying to me to have had a part in and to have watched the gradual development of young girls andl boys into young women and young men. You, the members of the class of 1936, have successfully passed one of the mile- stones of your career. Your high school days are some of the happiest that you will ever spend, and you will always cherish them with fond memories, even though the studies have -been hard, and at times, you have been discouraged. You will look back upon these days with fond pleasure, for as Virgil has written Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit which transla-ted into English means Some day perhaps the memory of even these hardships will be sweet. M I urge you to meet your next task in life with determination, a cheerful smile and a willing heart. You can achieve much if you apply your native ability and if you have confidence in yourself. A good motto that each of you might well carry with you is the Latin quotation Possunt .quia posse videntur' which means They can because they think they can. -W. H. PRIDE. Four
