We can therefore assume that success in the big sense of the word is not a matter of accumulating vast wealth nor is it a matter of winning individual honors, hut it is rather the art of surrendering ourselves to the interest of our fellow men. Ilow then have we benefited by these four years of preparation for the task which is before us? We cannot compute the benefit we have derived from our High school training by the amount of Latin, German or Sciences we have mastered, but the advantages we have attained in our High school life can rather he found in the assimilation of these subjects in which we have unconsciously developed that most respected of all human possessions,—A CHARACTER. W ith this fact in mind, let us not enter aimless and bewildered into the paths which lie before us. but let us confidently enter these paths with a purpose and a determination to attain that success which can only be attained by the brave and honest efforts of our own individual selves. Many problems will confront us and in trying to overcome them we may meet with a partial defeat, but if we are defeated, let it he an honor- able defeat so that after the struggle we can say with a clear conscience, I have done mv best.” So, resolved and assured that whatever success we shall attain will be in no small way attributed to thee, old Saginaw High, we hid thee farewell. EARL RAYMOND.

President’s Address Life is practically a repetition of precedents. Our success or failure is to a great extent measured by our success in profiting by the mistakes of our predecessors. It lias become a time-honored precedent for the President of the out-going class to have the privilege of leaving on their behalf a few- parting words of farewell, and, in accordance with this custom that is older than the school itself. I take great pleasure in speaking to you in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Fourteen. This year has been our year: today is our day. It is difficult to realize that we are never more to sit together as students of old Saginaw High. Classmates, as we sit here, what sentiments o'ertake us! What remembrances of happy hours spent in the last four years return to us! What heart-throbbings we experience as we try to appreciate the fact that the time has almost come when we must part to meet no more! Did we realize in looking forward to this day of our victory that it would also be a day of sorrow? But it was ever thus. Who of us regret the change we made in leaving our grammar school life? And yet, how very few of us, at that time, viewed the future with anything like op- timism. Let us then profit by this experience and let us not be sad because we must enter unfamiliar paths and break asunder friendships of long standing, but rather let us be joyful in the future and optimistic in its glorious possibilities and prospects. We are now on the threshold of that life wherein it will be seen whether our short stay on this earth is to be a success or failure. But what is success, we ask? Is it a matter of accumulating vast wealth about us? Is it a matter of winning individual glory, or is success to be measured by the amount of good we can do and have done for our fellowmen? The names of men who line the pages of history are not the names of those who have merely glorified themselves, but rather of those who have glorified and advanced their communities.
