Edna Kirsten fl Ruth Uhleman VALEDICTQRY THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS By E DNA KIRSTEN OW' often have you heard someone say, Oh, what good is all that schooling to do him? NVhen he gets out into the business world he'll have to start at the bottom and go up, just like anyone else. I am sure we have all heard these words, many many times, a11d, sometimes, rather unconsciously, we have used them ourselves. NVe might have changed the wording a little and said, XVell, Fd like to know what good Latin is going to do me if l'm going to be a stenographer? The boss certainly won't dictate to me in Latin. Or, This English literature won't do me any good if 1'm going to be an engineer. Maybe we are right, and maybe we are not. Not long ago I read an article by Dr. Frank Crane, in which he said that any type of business person would be more apt to succeed if he knew his Latin, history, and Shakespeare, because Latin, history, and Shakespeare each help to give one that all-round- ness which is so necessary to success. He went on to say that all-roundnessf' which is no more than a good, solid background upon which to base the knowl- edge that you learn from experience, is more essen- tial to success than technical finish. Your employer may find that you haven't the nec- essary technical finish for the position you hold, but when he finds that you can talk intelligently, as I know all of you can, about many other subjects, he will keep you on the job, because he knows it won't take long for you to learn the mere routine of your work. VVe all know that none of us has technical finish. lVe couldn't possibly have it in the short time we have been hereg but in these four years we have received an education, which, as our motto says, is not just for school, but for life. s When We leave Southwestern tomorrow night, we shall all start together at the bottom of the ladder: but because of the time we have spent and the effort we have put forth here at Southwestern, we are not By RUTH VH LEM.-XN KUQNIJS: After four years of careful preparation Zlllfl earliest efforts, we greet this day with a feel- ing of satisfaction for our accomplishment, mingled with one of sadness at parting. I am sorry to think that in a few short days our pleasures and duties here at Southwestern will come to an all too sudden end. ln the few years we have spent here we have made many acquaintances, some of which have resulted in cherished friendships, friendships which have filled our many school days with joys and pleasures, and in which we have stood side by side through smiles and tears. I hope these friendships will never cease. Many things were accomplished by the splendid co- operation of each one of you. Since each of us has a duty to perform, we must now part. So let us go forth with high ideals and a spirit of determination. Play the game fair and square, because there is some- thing more than worldly goods in life. I want to take this opportunity to express our grat- itude to our parents. NVithout your unceasing care and help we might never have been able to expe- rience the thrill of this day-Commencement. Our graduation would not be complete without some recognition of our teachers, whose guidance and co-operation have aided in training us for this day. They have not only taught us our lessons, but they have shown us that we have a duty to perform to the world and to our country, as American citizens. W'e are leaving Southwestern, some may never re- turn, but I hope a welcome will always await those who do. It is with high hopes for the future that we, the class of june, 1929, say, Fare thee well to all our friends and the faculty. ' going to stay at the bottom of that ladder as long as the other fellow. VVe are going to climb steadily, even as we did here. And, friends, I know and you know, that we are fContinued on Page l8j Page Five
