Dear Seniors: As you leave the portals of Old Trail School to go forth and enter the doors of the college you have chosen, may you keep uppermost in your thoughts that you are ever learning to make a life tirst, and secondly to make a living. As President Eisenhower so aptly phrased this in speaking at Defiance College in October 1953, Our heritage of the American way-is our most precious posses- sion. What we do individually to conserve it, to strengthen it, to enrich it is the only true measure of our devotion to it. More than this, it is the only true measure of the claims we can have on posterity's memory. The wealth we may accumulate, the public prestige we may enjoy, the social position we may attain are all meaningless in the long vista of time unless all are made to serve the cause of human dignity and freedom. I would like you to think of your life as a diamond. If there are only four sides to it there will not be much light or beauty reflected there. The more sides cut in a diamond the more glorious brilliance is seen in it. So with life- the more sides you cultivate as art, music, literature, service, religion, the more radiance and beauty will be given off to others. At Old Trail we have tried to have you share in many experiences to broaden your outlook, enrich your background, and help you to better express yourself. College will lead you further in these experiences. Be the type of person who holds onto the things from the past which are good but always reaches forward to the future for that which is better. There is always room to grow where' ever you may be and we at Old Trail have only helped you plant your seeds which will now begin to grow in an ever continuing process to aid you in making the kind of a life most beneficial to you and mankind. Success in your undertaking! Atfectionately, MISS RUTH A. COURTNEY 6
