SAN A AIT ON IO ACADE V Graduation, 1926 The time comes in every boy's life when he must leave High School. Some take their places in the affairs of the world, while others still trod on in pursuit of higher education. Commencement will surely be remembered as one of the happiest days of our lives; but too. it will be a sad occasion, for it will mean the parting of many good and true friends made through years of pleasant association and companionship. This sadness will not last, for it will be offset by the realization of greater things in store for us. the greatest and most valuable of which is the right to take one’s place among one’s fellowmen. In school we are led in the ways of good citizenship, and it is the ardent desire of every real teacher to turn out men who will be assets to their communities and country. The class of 1926. after years of hard work and zealous application have now reached their highest goal. To some it has meant many long nights of cramming, while to others it has meant an earnest and consistent effort through the years with graduation coming as a natural result. Soon we will separate, probably never to be together again, but we will carry with us the high ideals and good learning which were taught us at the Academy. We hope that every member of the class will strive to live up to them, and that he may ever be held high in the esteem of his old school and classmates. —W. P. WALKER. President’s Greeting To every member of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-six I extend my gratitude and deep appreciation of the honor, privileges and happiness you have conferred upon me as President of your Class. I look in retrospect on the year of 1926. recording it as a happy one, and to you classmates, I say, be ever true to those principles our preceptors in San Antonio Academy have set before us this last and fullest year. Our motto; Virtute ac labore'' should always be our guide through life. I hope that the fleeting moments of the past year have recorded our progress towards the goal of better manhood, and on this last day of school we may find peace and happiness in the consciousness of duty well performed, always remaining faithful followers of the lofty ideals of our beloved San Antonio Academy. — JOHN NEWBANKS KEERAN.
