“ Youth and I Went out to sea; Hope went with us, we were three. Ne'er was such a company. Ne'er was such an argosy,— Cloth of dreams for sail had we. THE four years passed have been splendid. The years to come seem a fairy world with all things possible; but the time comes at length when dreams vanish, and the awakening finds earnest business. I am not at all fearful of your tomorrow; life has been good to most of the boys and girls who shaped their future under the “Orange and Black,” and you have builded as well if not better. I could frighten you with spectres, punctuate sentences with “don’ts,” but I feel this: if the spirit which has permeated South High during your stay has not taught you the joys which come from adhering to right ideals, no words of mine at this late day will suffice. Whatever you go into, be of it and for it, with all honorable might. The leisure moments you may have, seize upon as capital to be invested for future dividends. Be patriotic in promoting the welfare of the state that educated and protected you. For such service there may be neither immediate nor future remuneration, not even appreciation; nevertheless, work so rendered is often the best and the finest. Joseph Jorgens.
