THE VIKING To the Class of June 1926 URING the four years of high school life that is now drawing to a close, you should have learned many lessons but there is no lesson that I have been more anxious to have you learn than that of toler- ance, and I know of no better place to learn that lesson than in a cosmo- politan school like Northern. Here you have been mingling daily with many races and creedsl and you have, I am sure, discovered some very fine things in all. To be tolerant, you do not need to be without convictions and opinions of your own. Every young man or young Woman of worth must have convictions based on keen observation and careful thinking. Concede to others the right of their convictions which may be just as honestly ac- quired as your own. The other fellow may be right. It is not so long ago that the intolerant were laughing at Columbus and Galileog yesterday they were laughing at Orville and Wilbur Wright. Meet new ideas with an open mind, do not scoff at the beliefs or opinions of others. I hope you have also learned to look before you leap. Be deliberate, think before you act. Make haste slowly is a good motto. Too many people waste their time and energy rushing hither and yon without plan or reason, spending half of their time getting into trouble and the other half trying to make amends. An ill-advised act is not effaced by regret. The Moving Finger writesg and having Writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. Be honest with yourself. There is nothing so pitiful as a person who deliberately deceives himself. Each of you should frequently take stock. Try honestly to find your weak points as well as your strong ones and, when you have done this, make the most of your strong points and do your best to correct the Weak ones. So many young people of today assume virtues and abilities that they have not, instead of bending every effort to acquire them. The following quotation has always been part of my creed and I can do no better than to pass it on to you. To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. J. E. 'rAN1s. 18
