if Mrs. Wells, Principal A MAN TO EMULATE-THEODORE ROOSEVELT: There are three qualities about our patron, Theodore Roosevelt, that make me proud to be in a school that bears his name. First, his perseverance in overcom- ing his own physical weakness, second, his complete honesty, and third, his deep patriotism and love of our country. This man, who as a boy was frail and sickly, worked diligently and constantly to overcome his physical handicaps. By the time he was ready for college, he had succeeded and soon after that was a Rough Rider. Today we do not even remember or care that Theodore Roosevelt was an ailing youth. We remember only the energy and vigor which characterized him all of his adult life. Theodore Roosevelt was a scrupulously honest man. He practiced the honesty he preached so that when it became necessary to investigate wrong-doing in the departments under his supervision he did not hesitate. He pursued until the department had been purged of even the suspicion of dishonesty. He set a standard of patriotism that we would do well to follow today. He said, Patriotism stands in national matter as love of family does in private life. I believe that a man must be a good patriot before he can be a good citizen of the world. Before we become good world citizens, let us first be loyal, stead- fast true Americans. 5 ZWZZMMM
