liLVflH e. llflyfS--HtflO(lll]STtll Senio- You are about to enter a new phase oi ' lii ' e. It is well for you, at this point, to list those assets whieh you have at hand to assist you in living a successful, satisfying and productive life. And should you do this, you would, without hesitation, probably list integrity, poise, tact, intelligence, energy, and so on; but I venture to say that you would probably omit what, to me, seems to be one of the most important assets of youth; that asset is TIME. With TIME at your disposal all things are possible; without it, nothing is possible. It is the most valuable thing in the world, in that it cannot be replaced. The real tragedy is that realization of its importance comes to many only after it is too late to do much about it. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said: “Do not squander time, for it is the .stuff life is made of.” It isn’t necessary to look far for illustrations of men who put their time to good use. The Wright brothers, during their spare time aw ay from their bicycle shop, created the airplane. Thomas Edison, a telegrapher by trade, invested his spare lime in the study of electricity, and by so doing, created an entire new world of light. William Shakespeare’s regular job was that of theatrical manager, but during his hours away from his regular work, he trained himself to la ' come one of the most gifted writers of the ages. ITMlt is your own. It may be worth anything, or it may be worth nothing, depending on how you control its use. You may kill time, waste lime or use time, but you can never regain it. The une.xpired time at your command is your greatest wealth. Like all wealth, it may he dissipated or it may be made productive. Each of you inusl tJiake the decision as to how YOUB lime will be used. In corcluding tliis brief me.ssag e to you as Seniors, 1 chalUoige each of you to allocate your time in such a way tliat, say forty years from now, you may look back with no regrets, and look forward to the future w ilh confidence and satisfaction, (lood luck to each of you. j 1 AlacUt Q, cUa4 e6,
