Q an t j 9 , Ad ' 1' X . x 1 I . 'jk ff ki A.. . f Q-Q TO THE CLASS OF 1942 An old Negro was complaining that the railroad would not pay him for his mule, which it had killed--no, would not even give him back his rope. Wwhgt ropeqn, he was asked. nwhy, suh, he answered, nde rope dat I tied de mule on the track wlf.U Perhaps, like the old Negro, we all expect too much of life, Class of 1942. There are times when we are unable to make adjustments because we do expect too much. During our 12 years together I have grown to know each and every one of you as a friend. It has been our job, your teachers and myself, to help you make adjustments in your lives and to prepare you for life itself. Often we have had to say nnou when it would have been far easier to have said nyesu. At the time you may not have known lt, but it was our purpose to ready you for the hard knocks of the ncold, crueln world. The only way to become a good basketball or tennis player is to play the game. It does no great good to read a book on the subject and then expect to step out on the court and play a brilliant game. You become a good player only through actual game experience. Life is filled with disappointment as well as success. When we full to make the proper adjustments we become embittered. Your school life has been planned, not only to.have you prepare lessons, recite and take examinations: far more than that, your school life has been set up to help you learn to live. Your school life has been pleasant for the most part. Yet your training here has been most valuable to you where you have met failure as well as success: where you have been tested as to whether you can take orders and criticismg and where you have had the opportunity to profit by your mistakes. One of my chief joys in a long line of teaching years has been the receipt of many letters from former Ontario boys-our boys--who are now in service camps throughout the United States. Nearly every ending contains some small word of apprecia- tion for the grand experiences which the writer has had when he attended your Alma Mater. Mhny of these boys have been promoted and we are proud of their records. Now comes the time for you to leave us. We regret seeing you leave, believe it or not. However, we are looking forward to hearing from you again. we shall rejoice with you when you achieve fame, and we shall feel for you if sorrow enters your lives. To us, you are always 'our boys and girlsn. Good luck and God bless you, Class of 1942.
