THE CAIPITOLINE g page 9 know and did not recognize the bride until she winked at the minister when the groom kissed her. I Instantly I knew she was the former Miss Gladys Steere who had been unsuccessfully married twice before and was hoping since this was the third that it would bring good luck. As soon as the next picture opened, I recognized the lady as IMiss Emma Lasch and I was terribly shocked, for 'there sat an old class mate of mine who in those .days was extremely bashful, holding a gentleman's hand. However I presently saw my mistake for Miss Lasch' was simply following her trade oi- manicuring Hnger nails. She had opened up a Manicuring Parlor on the tenth fioor of the Leland Hotel buiding where she has for years carried on a successful business. Q The next picture showed a man of small stature seated before a desk heaped With papers and books. He was busily writing and seemed to be thinking very hard. From the work on his desk I figured out that he was rewriting, Webster's Dictionary, putting emphasis on such words ' as gabfest, bonchead, inshadecano, gabshover, beanery, etc.Q which Webster in his haste had overlooked. When the author raised his head from his Work, I perceived he was Professor Armin White, B.A. and L.L.D., of Harvard and graduate of the Springfield High School in the class of i09. I The following picture was indeed a surprise. Away up in the gsky, above the ocean, soared an airship, its only occupants being a man and a Woman. As the airship was focused nearer I became aware that the woman was an old class mate of mine, the former Miss Nellie Mahoney. Sheahad married a man of great mechanical genius whose fad was airships and at the time of the picture they were crossing the ocean to the old country for a short pleasure trip. Of course it took nerve, especially for a woman to make a trip of this kind, but any person who would dare toeeiger an English class of Miss Wilcox's without first prparing her lesson would certainly have the nerve to cross the ocean in an airship. The next picture showed a large platform, decorated with flags and bunting, on which a woman, whom I instantly recognized as the former Ruth WVilson, was speakng. Her audience consisted largely of women who clapped and yelled at intervals. But I could not imagine what her theme was until I spied a banner labeled Mrs. Ruth Wilson, Republican candidate for senator from Iowa. p In the last picture I recognized Luther Kennedy sawing away on his bass violin, among numerous other men playing on various instru- ments. In the midst of this picture there was a terrible explosion, the machine I was looking through was hurled into fragments and I fell to the ground. s I picked myself up, rubbed my eyes, looked around for the little old man, his strange machine and for Kennedy, but saw none of these, only my guide standing grinning at me with a smoking gun in his hand.

Page 10 TI-IE CAPITOLINE Class Oration enum...- ARMIN WHITE. i The selection of a class motto is always a matter ofthe greatest importance, for it should be understood by each individual member of the class that the motto is his own aswell as of the class as a whole. It should mean more to us than its mere spaceiilling office on the class day program and the graduating announcement. It should always stand before us asia goal for which to strive. It should act as a goad upon the energies i f our whole life. Perhaps we may not reach the lofty heights to which we aspire. Perhaps We may never realize a successful issue to our fondest dreams, but no attempt is without its reward. True it is that we may not be rcmunerated with so much of worldly goods or privleges, but if we have convinced ourselves in our own mind that our Work has been the result of conscientious elfort, then we have ac- complished the greatest success possible for the spirit of the Work and the development ofa great character is its own reward. . We must have something to strive for to make our lives worth the living. The man who ceases to strive in this lifeis work and has no feeling. for what the 'morrow will bring forth virtually, dies. We should never be satisiied with what we have accomplished, we should never rest upon the laurels of yesterday but should place our ideals higher and higher as We advance nearer and nearer upon the first mile- stones that line our path. W'e attempt many things and we accomplish some. Now let us remember to accomplish them well. It makes no difference howfsmall or how seemingly insignificant a thing may seem for if it is worth doing at all it .should be accomplished with all the care and thoroughness that we devote to our whole lifels work. Enter into everything with the determination of making the best of it and leave your mark upon everything that you ever attempt. Play a game with all the thoroughness that you devote to the accomplishment of your fondest desires and your care with the little problem will prepare you for the great issues that we all must encounter. Herein lies the great value of athletic training in the school. It teaches thoroughness and perfection in a practical way that the student cannot fail to grasp. The runner who loses his race realizes that he was not thorough enough in his training. r s A ' - Great men of the past teach us that thoroughness was the- secret of their success. ivvhat would we have known of Washingtoin if instead of facing with fortitude and determination the privations and disap- pointments of the long war, he had submitted weakly to the costic criticism of men who had not the confidence. in our great cause that he had. But no! .He had attempted something and he was going to ,accomplish it thoroughly and was morally certain that he would succeed. Macaulay, in writing history, believed that even the slightest details of the lives of great men should be mentioned because they arevall a
