PRINCIPAL N. H. GARRISON GRADUATION MESSAGE Members of the class of 1924, as you go from us, I would have you take as passports on the voyage of life, three words- plan, prepare, persevere! Have some purpose in life. A ship without a rudder reaches no harbor. Avoid the port of missing men. Plan your work, but plan first of all to be men, plan to be women. Plan also to be particular kind of men, men with specialized vocations. This is an age of specialists. Prepare for your work. Secure the necessary education for your particular work, remembering that the best training is none too good. The competition of the twentieth century is keen. There are artists and artisans among bootblacks. To- day's preparation is not sufficient for 'CO1l101'I'OXN,S needs. Keep pace with your calling. Do not strike twelve too soon. Persevere in your work. Life's pathway is rough and steep. It is not strewn with roses. Those who always look for soft places in life sometimes find them under their hats. Many fail because of not having any aim in life. Others have a pur- pose, but do not prepare for their work. Many more prepare for a specific work, but fail because of discouragements and difficulties. Learn to labor and to wait. Plan! Prepare! Persevere! Success to you. -Noel ll. Garrison. Ill
