THL' BELL Vinczpalpsi essage Q NOTHER year has rolled around, and again we must bid Godspeed to a large class of grad- uates. The Class of 1926 is not unlike those that have gone before. It takes out of our midst, some of our best and most promising students and leaders. Its members are looking forward to the early fulfillment of their ambitions. Some will attend college, some will enter business, and others will enter into other vocations. All, however, are hoping and expecting that success will be theirs. The faculty and remaining students of San Jose High School join with you, who are graduating from our institution, in hoping that your fondest wishes will all become realities. However, you ll1L1St bear in mind, that nothing worth while will be yours with- out effort. As you have had to put forth great effort to gain success in the past, so will you be obliged to make use of the same characteristic to accomplish your ambitions in the future. In all your future activities, remember that honesty, integrity, and steadfastness to the right are ot' far greater and more lasting value than mere riches. Your community and your state have given you much in providing for your education, they have a right to demand of you now, an effective and enthusiastic performance of the duties of citizenship. If, from your high school life, you have developed these ideals of honesty, integ- rity, and true civic leadership, we shall all be proud to point to you as the worthy examples of the pro- duct of American Public Education. Let it not be otherwise. R. B-. LELAND, Principal.
