19 2 3 S T U D E N T 19 2 3 President’s Message To us for the first time comes the real meaning of graduation. It brings with it the fruits of victory, but takes from us many of the influences that have been our comforter in time of trouble and defeat, and our guidance in time of success. It takes from us that unity that has made us the Class of ’23 and leaves us as individuals to battle our own way to further success. The influences of our school life will mean much towards our goal. These influences are ours. During the four years in school they have become a part of our life. Probably the greatest of these has been our class motto: “To naif is to do” the significance of which is readily understood, the value of which has been proved by associating it with the four years of our school career. Let endeavor, effort and determination be the materials of which our stairway to success is built. Let “To say is to do” be the safety rail upon which we may lean in times of danger or despair and let every landing between the flights of our stairway be a degree of success. Then as we ascend step by step, flight by flight each succeeding landing will be more difficult to reach, more dangerous, but if our means of ascension are uniformly constructed the danger of slipping, or falling back, is lessened. We have climbed safely to one landing, and have become familiar with the way to success. Let us, the C lass of 1923, remember, l o say is to do” Let us say we will climb steadily upward, and: “Let us then he up and doing, U ith a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait” Roy Briggs.
