Let us make loyalty our controlling spirit, and in being loyal to ourselves, to our class and to our school, we shall of necessity be loyal to every larger claim that the American nation can de- mand of the most efficient of her sons and daughters in any of her needs. Let us show the world as we step out into it that we are true patriots, carrying still in our hearts whatever life may bring, the same spirit of courage and resolution and high-minded in- tegrity with which we now bid one another farewell.

MEMORIES.- ..J..H. - 1935 SCHOOL DAYS IS MOLDING PERIOD Within a few years you may forget the very first principles of the conjunction of a verb, but by no means will you forget the good or evil tendencies that are gradually de- veloping in your heart during these years of your life preparation. Do you remember the first time vou whispered in schocl, contrary to your teacher’s orders? You felt guilty, didn’t you? You dreaded to have the teacher’s eyes turned in your di- rection. You didn’t get caught, and the sec- ond time you found it easier, the third time you didn’t think much about it and ere long your conscience kept still and allowed you ta disobey that rule at pleasure without even a reminder. You did not know then what it meant. It did not seem such a glaring sin, did it? You were too young to understand. But, boys and girls, it is upon just such trifling mis- deeds that our whole character is based. Perhaps you are an idler in school. You may learn more easily than your class mates and have, after ycur lessons are prepared, some spare time that so often Satan con- trives to fill. ‘“‘An idle mind is the devil's : workshop.” Yes, you may even be idling away the time which you should be devoting to study. Beware! You are forming a habit and one that you will not find easy to break. There are ne heights worth attaining that can be reached without close application and how can anyone who has not formed the habit of application hope ever to succeed in scaling these heights? Do you ever stop to consider what an im- portant part ycur companions of your school days will play in your later life? It is so easy to assume the ways of those with whem you constantly associate and if they are not good, you are the loser. One who is saucy, rude, vulgar, unmannerly, may contaminate a whole crewd in a very short time. How much more easily do we gather and assimilate evil than geod! On the other hand, one person, determined to do right, will have a decided influence upon the rest of the crowd: for nine persons are always easily led, eitner to do right or te do wrong, by the stronger will of the tenth person. Have you, yourself, not already had this experience? Few of you realize what an intense, whole- souled interest teachers have in each one of you; how grieved they are by the lack of interest, disobedience, and carelessness; hew proud they are of your GOOD DEPORT- MENT and your ADVANCEMENT. They realize what you do not; that your school days, your happiest days, are also your most important days. They are the foundation stones upon which your future is built. if you will bear censtantly in mind that your business of going to school is an in- tense business and must be conducted ac- cording to business principles, you will be more exact in performing your daily duties and will build such a character that you may look back te your school days with legitimate pride and satisfaction.—’35. eta ots GUESS WHY— Evelyn is so beautiful.
