To the Q ass °f l 9 2 9 My friends, you have come to a turn in the road. During the past three years I, as your friend and class advisor, have traveled with you, but we now continue upon individual paths, I am loath to part with you. Before you depart, allow me to congratulate you on your graduation and to wish you Godspeed. Before each of you, there stretches a long road — the highway of life itself. Your training and general preparation will aid you in making a start upon this, but if you wish to make greater progress it will be necessary that you contin- ually supplement the knowledge already gained. After all, the profit and pleasure you receive from your journey will depend largely upon yourselves. Life ' s road will have its rough and its smooth places, and obstacles will appear along your route. Your passing over the rough stretches and your over- coming the obstacles will make you stronger men and women. You have chosen a noble profession. It is filled with opportunity. If each of you can do something to make this world a better place in which to live you will have done a great thing. Keep in mind the best and the highest. Give your very best to mankind and enjoy the satisfaction that the giving of real service brings! Madeline Bridges has well expressed the thought in these two lines of verse: Give lo the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. My sincere wish is that each of you may be happy and successful. Seven
