But ray address to-niyht is primarily to the seniors. The no s s aye is for thor. and I hone the thought I yivc then is a lasting one. Classmates, I wish to suyycst to you this thouyht, Youth is not a tire of years. Youth is a natter of the spirit,, of the nincl, and of the soul. It does not apply no roly to the body, rather it applies to that which lives within the body. In our exercises to-niyht wo have stepped back into the yesterdays when our randoarents and rcat rr.ndsarcnts were oun in cars. Sene W W ♦ 1 W V of then nay be here toniyht. They are old in years, but the sixt ,r car3 restin ' unon then nay M r cr v V. 4. w have nothin;; to do with their youth, because youth is an attitude of the r.iind and heart. We can continually bo courageous and dariny, advent- urous and ready to take up the now in thouyht . We can r ' Q on boldin ' to hi ' di ideals and buildiny castles, v o can retain our confidence in nankind and believe in the y od of human nature. In that respect v o can over be youny. Our hair na Tr turn to silver, our faces wrinkle fron years, our lips yrov; pale, and our foot falter, but we cen ever wonder at the ylory of the stars and love the beauty of sunset. Wo can keep ylowiny within us the eayorncss of a child for the joyous yar.ee of life. If we look inward yt our own hearts and ninds, v o will realize that we have youth , and we need never lot it floe from us. Wo can always live up to our early ideals and dr cans .

The kinps and queens of the past have sat on their ease and luxurp and made others scrv then.
