, --1-if . -i.I,1.,s-- Page Thirly-Four THE CLASSIC June 1922 hearty welcome, and the inspiration received from the ministers both in the class rooms and in the pulpits, will ever live in our memories. Though our thoughts upon such occasions turn much to the past, yet our hopes and interests are even now wrapt up in the future. If we are to reach there the goals we have set for ourselves, we must be prepared for much work yet ahead. Once Normal graduates were regarded as having reached the summit of their educa- tion. We must banish that from our minds. It is only as students that we will progress. He who ceases to learn, ceases to live, for- Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, ls our destined end or way: But to act that each tomorrow Find us farther than to-day. Never were opportunities more abundant for the im- provement of a teacher's educational status than today. All doors have been opened by the introduction of EX- tension Courses and Summer Sessions. 'Let us resolve to take advantage of these golden opportunities. Like old Ulysses may we find our spirits H-yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. As we advance educationally we shall not only re- ceive increased salaries, though that should occupy a secondary place in our scheme of things, but we shall experience the real pleasure that always attends the making of honest efforts. For we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the summit round by round. All things are possible for the person who is willing to strive for them. May the future accomplishments of our year mark us out as men and women who were will- ing to pay the price. The inauguration of an annual reunion for ex-students is a feature of our year that will be particularly remem- bered. We were indeed privileged in being the first hosts to the graduates of all the years since the opening of the institution. Let us all make a special effort to meet together at the Banquet next year, there to renew the friendships which we have formed. ' It is these friendships, perhaps, which have affected us more than any of the other influences by which we have been surrounded. For them alone we would deem our Normal year well spent. For a brief span Our paths through life together lie, They widen out- We smile and say 'Good-bye.' But who dare say Our meetings been in vain, If but the memory of the smile We each retain. - H. E.
