s 'Q ll T'7.'L,.lll'llll14'LQi:!lll1EU5Ll2lW35I u- lWlW - 1 i ..,f ,,..- ...xo ,- The President's Address Marquis Emmett Shattuck F-ff, -y HEN we have completed fi' y ii some tasks or attained 'QA :ii the object of some ambi- tion for which we have labored long, there coines ' ' to us something' of that same satisfaction which we experience on reaching the top of a mountain, and on glancing back to view the Way by which we rose: and then, looking up, we behold higher and lottier summits stretching on before us. Then comes the turning point in our jour- ney. Then comes the question, fellow- classmen of 1907, shall we stop and glory in our first achievement or shall we press on in new and greater conquests with all their hardships '? Many of us, in our earlier years, set our mark to '41907, and have worked steadily on until at last we have reached our goal. Milestone after milestone has been passed and now as memory takes us back in review we see many hard battles fought and victories won. But the Way ha's not all been hard for we have had many pleasant memories of social in- tercourse, of athletic contests, and of friendships formed that will be a stimu- lus to us in our onward march toward our still higher mark. We have completed our four years of High School study, and although we see more clearly, yet We do not fully realize the true value of education. If a man should step up to you today and ask for what amount you would sell your education and all the training' and pleas- ures that have accompanied the earning' ot it. what price would you name? The radical evolution in business meth- ods. the long strides in civilization and the multiplication of the inventions and discoveries, along' all lines, which the past century has witnessed, necessitates an intinitely broader and better training for men and women in every walk of life than was required twenty years ago, 'l'he watch-word ot the twentieth century is Excelsior, ln the world of today Ile who thinks. conquersfl and only those who are the best prepared to think and grasp the problems of life will iind a toot- ing' in the business thoroughtares of to- morrow. VVhatever you do, determine that you will keep out of ruts. No matter what your standard of success may be, remember, that we get from life just what we put into life. And in closing, my classmates, let me say that true great- ness consists in sustained enthusiasm. VVe do not judge the runner by his speed at the beginning' of the race: it is the home stretch that counts. To know how to bring' victory from deteat, and to make stepping' stones ot our stumbling' blocks is the t1'ue secret of success. Then, while striving' toward the highest ideals ot American citizenship, let us keep in mind that, 'tlllany a time Victor from vanquished issues at the last, And overthrows from being overthrown. 4 li l nt m..uml.uuuu..mml 1 .
