Graduation, 1927 In the life of every boy there comes the time when he must leave High School, and that time has now arrived when the Class of ’27 must step forward with the steady march of progress. Some will enter directly into the game of life and take their place in the affairs of the world; others will continue their preparation that later on they may become leaders in the field of their choice. To all, however, graduation is a bitter sweet, a joy and yet a sorrow. A joy because it is the triumph, the achievement after years of work; a sorrow because it is the end of one of the most beautiful and happy periods of our life. It seems impossible how quickly the time passes: only yesterday we were Freshmen looking up to our ideal, the Seniors; tomorrow we shall be looking back to see that those who follow us will carry on the standards of the Texas Military Institute. When we think that the friends who have been made and tried through years of companionship will be separated, our sadness increases, but soon there will come happiness with the knowledge of the wonderful experiences in store for us at College or in the work we choose to follow. Perhaps it is well we follow the principles of our training and the ruling of one of the world's greatest men, Mussolini, who has given this terse statement of his policy as a ruler: Tenacity, Discipline, Courage, and Work.” Until today we have all yearned for the day of graduation, but now that it is upon us we have a feeling of regret at leaving our schoolmates and teachers. We have despised discipline and study, but in our hearts we carry as a souvenir a sincere appreciation of the kindness and efforts of the parents and professors who have striven that we might be better suited to continue the advancement of the world, that we might be better men. —MAURICE H. ANTHONI. Page Sixteen
