To the Graduating Class of 1932: To lezurzcf, to vsfccm, to love, and 111671 to jmrf, Illakrs up Iifcfv tale to many a failing lzvartf' To give a last bit of advice to a parting pupil and friend as the farewell years and the years of association end, is indeed diiticult. For who am l to say with assurance, do thus and so, and you will find happiness and success in life. Each has his own conception of happiness. It is difficult to express in a few sentences the essence of successful living. There are some thoughts I may leave with you however. Success in any profession is the gradual and progressive realization of worthy ideals. It is not measured by material gain. Such is an unworthy ideal. Progress in the attainment of ideals is slow and requires tenacity and perseverance, there- fore, be patient. Rome was not built in a day. To serve society wellg to help those placed in your charge grow into Hue men and women with idealsg close your eyes to the baser things of life constantly thrusting themselves before youg to make yourself strong in your power to bat- tle theseg to cling tenaciously to the better part of yourselfg to refuse to rise by taking unfair advantage of colleagues and brothers, are guiding principles worthy of observance. Such principles may not bring great wealth, but they bless you with a spiritual rewardg the respect and admiration of your fellowmen-con- tentment-happiness. limi! Ieflfll. Page lfIl C'!'l1 all
