Philip and St. james' Higlv School Editorial 5'-T EING about to close the portals of our Alma Mater behind us for 1-416 'X - Q35 the last time, we, the class of 1928, beg leave to offer our Rt. Rev. Monsignor and our beloved Sisters, our most grateful thanks for the many proofs of kindness which we have received from their hands. The recollection of the many favors they have bestowed upon us is engraved on our heartsg and we cannot part from their companion- ship without making this public acknowledgement of the gratitude we owe them. Our school day has been a long one and we cannot hope that it has at all times been free from error. But we have the consolation of knowing that if mistakes have been committed they have not seriously injured our Alma Mater. - Strive and Succeed. Truer words were never spoken. The only way in which one ever succeeded, was by striving. We learned this lesson in the first few years of our school life. And now that our school days are nearly over, it is an ideal, on which to shape our future lives. The Class of '28 now stands on the threshold -of Life.,' Up to this time we have travelled a pcith of roses' and encountered comparatively few thorns on our journey. But now we have reached the point where the path divides and here we must separate. With this knowledge comes a deep re- gret that we are compelled to leave the school where we have obtained such priceless learning. Priceless because a man without education is like a body without hands or a hand without fingers. Education is the means by which man acts' and without which he never could develop himself or make use of his power if it were developed. Nevertheless no matter how much we regret it we must bid farewell to our dear Alma Mater. Farewell is a word often lightly uttered and read- ily forgotten but when it marks the completion of a chapter in life the sever- ance of ties many and cherished the parting with many friends at once it sticks somewhat in the throat. It becomes indeed the word that makes us linger But it does not prompt many other words. It is best expressed in few. Not much can be added to the old English word Goodby. Each one of us must choose his or her own pathway to follow and if we expect to reach success at the end of this path we must strive to the best of our ability. True there will be pit-falls in our way but patience and forti- tude will overcome all obstacles in time, and the fact that we have won against all odds will make our victory much sweeter and our success all the greater.
