TO YOU AND YOUR MOTTO lo strive-to serve-to sacrifice are privileges, not hardships. If you follow your motto daily, you will be rewarded each day by knowing within yourself that you have done well. Climb, though the rocks be rugged was our motto in high school. We did not think much about it before graduation, as you will not take your motto seriously now, but many times in the coming years you will think of your motto and glean much from its wisdom. lo most ofyou, your school days will be over upon graduating, but do not let your education SYOD then. You can obtain a higher degree of knowledge of your vocation by working at a job for which you have been preparing yourself at Pullman Tech. Learn the knowledge or skill required of those in higher positions, and then start preparing yourself to qualify for those Qoals. Always keep the goal high and when you have reached that point, raise it again so that you will keep on Uclimbingn. lt will not always be easy to do this. You will have to sacrifice much time and pleasure to accomplish that for which you are striving, but you will be well repaid in the satisfaction you receive in being able to do what you once thought impossible. Your reward will not be in money alone, but in the confidence you have Qained and the pleasure you will receive in serving. A teacher's greatest reward comes when he hears from you after you have graduated, and finds that you are holding a respon- sible position, partly due to his efforts when you were in schcol. Particularly at this time there UV9 'TTOUY necessary and important positions to be filled by draftsmen, electricians, machinists, auto-mechanics, bookkeepers, and stenographers. Vital positions in civilian as well as war industries are now being held by graduates from each of these departments. lt is now up to you to go and do likewise. Do not be satisfied to Fill a lesser position than your predecessors have filled. You can do it by Hstriving, Sacrificing, and Serving. EARL E.
