VALEDICTORY ADDRESS BY ROBERT ROYAL WE DO NOT SAY FAREWELL' Friends of the graduating class and of the Toll City- High School: A valedictory is usually an addi’ess in which the graduating class bids farewell, a long farewell, and sometimes a sad farewell to their Alma Hater, tc their teachers, and over to ono rn- othor. Eut to-night v.e arc going tc do no such thing. The valedictory is usually an address in which the members of the class assort their in- tentions of climbing the lad- der of fa me—of making them- selves names that shall bo spoken by the tongues cf mon long after the graduates them- selves are gone; but wo are not going to do that oithor. We do net mean that the members of the class of 1935 are not ambitious. Wo are am- bitious, but time hac proved over and over, and over again that they who are more chasers of fame never roach their goal. And for them who would be great time has proved ever and over that tho Han of Galilee, who nearly two thousand yoers ago walked the lowliest paths and administered to the lowliest noed3 of tho lowliest peoplo, laid down the best rule and pointed out tho clearest way that the world has over known whon Eg spoke these words to tho mother of James and John: He who would bo groat among you, must bo servant of all. Fame i3 not a thing that runs ahead and bids ono give chase tc it. Liko tho light from a comet, it creates be- hind. Chase it if you will, but the longer you chase it tho farther will you remove your- self from it; for it is behind you, and it will make no effort to koop even within manning 3ight cf you. 3ut bu3y yourself with the task you find at hand-- lct tho ultimate aim of all of your work and of every act be to make the world a little better than you found it, and fame will overtake you one fine day when you arc least expecting it. And it will shod a light about you that all may see, and men will pause and leek upon your work. In this way comes fame and in no other. It may be that fame will not crcwn tho efforts of a single member of this class, but whether it dees or doesn't, wc shall not have suffered from the Illusions, cf giving chase to something that will not be chosed--of pursuing something that cannot be pursued. Yet should it be our good fortune tc hoar cur work applaudod-to 3eo our work crowned with such a re- ward wo should accept it, I think gracefully and unaffectedly. We should acknowledge our gratitude to the world and then turn our- selves to our task again still with no purpose other than the ALVEY OUR DRY CLEAN BROS, CL£ M£R$ ING KEEPS NEW THING S NEW PHONE 16
