The author, a calm, sweet, hi h-minded rirl of sixteen sum- g fs v mers on her graduation day last year, typifies that self- same loyalty. I remember how Well, too, her father exemplified the precept. South was his Alma Nfater. He attended in '95 with that remarkable group, the Silver Blues. No- bility and magnanimity of conduct in him were inherent. He always kept in mind the honor and prestige of South, weighing his actions carefully as to their influence on community and state. His perseverance in conquering difficulties greater than those that obstruct the way to success for most of us, showed a devotion to an ideal that found expression later in loyalty that has been dependable, staunch, and true. There were then, as there are today, skill and human sympathies among our teachers which make profound impressions on youth at a time when they are keenly sus- ceptible to influences which sway the emotions. Thus they fashioned out of human material a grand example of a good life. A A VVhen Gretchen and her brother were ready for high school, the father, sacrificing much, returned from a neighboring state to the old stamping grounds, where he had received from his preceptors teachings fraught with beauty, hope, courage, and power. South did not fail these young people nor did the brother and sister fail their Alma Mater. As is the studen-t, so is South. And how grateful we feel to these-and to all our young people, who, not- withstanding the perplexities of the times, are developing an inner feeling of faithfulness and an ability to meet the great demands in solving the complex problems press- ing for solution in the progress of civilization. The finest possession in the onward march is loyalty, and the finest guides, sincerity and courage. -josEP11 JORGENS Er' if ll 955.225 II
