SALUTATORY atliflkiiit Dear parents, devoted teachers, and kind friends: Another harvest season has come to an end, and we, the reapers have finished with this fruitful field. Some of us have garnered much: we are coming home with full measuresg others of us with less, but each according to the capacity with which nature endowed him. But what- ever the measure of knowledge we have garnered, we have also been awakened to wisdom. We have discovered that Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much, Wisdom is humble that he knows more. To you, beloved parents, our gratitude will grow with the expe- rience that the years will bring, our gratitude for guiding our footsteps to the gates of this field, wherein only the sound and wholesome fruit of knowledge grows. Here to help and endow ourselves to the fullestg here, where Time's hourglass runs with gold dust. And you, devoted teachers who met us at the gate and took us by the hand, you who pointed out to us the beauty of your fields, and awakened our desire for its fruit, Who helped us when the load we carried taxed our strength, who taught us wisdom by the example of your very lives, your images are etched upon our memories forever. We are those of whom the poet speaks when he says: They whom the truth and wisdom guide, can gather honey from a weed. Tomorrow, we may have other teachers, but, may we follow them with the blind trust we followed you? Or will our minds subconsciously bring up your voice? So now we cross the road and enter another field to garner there. Mayhap, a much larger field, though not so carefully tended as the one we came from. But now we enter as experienced harvesters, as those who have learned to know the sound and wholesome fruit from that which is better left alone. Perhaps we m.ay be of help to a companion by our side, one who was not so fortunate as we in his early training. Perhaps we may have the power to make him discern the good from the doubtful. And finally, when, we leave the fields behind us, and go forth with our own seeds to plant and our own strength to meet whatever fortunes life and war may bring us, our yesterdays will follow us, they will constitute our lives, and will give character and force and meaning to our future deeds. ri4ri4rj1n1ebi1
