JhsL dOt (pa iajdiL — Sjwi iIl. IOsl AadiLcdjL Now wc are leaving; the light of our learning must shine upon a new world. Four years have we spent learning to live and to be able to live. They have been happy years. Teachers wc once held in awe have now become cherished friends and advisers. Things we believed incomprehensible are facts we understand today. Goals we once thought not attainable are things that are past and conquered—and now we have a new goal. To find and take our place in the world is our new goal. Those hours in mathe- matics when wc digested equations by the page—we shall carry some of that knowledge into the fray of living. Hours in English, which were paragraphs long, have equipped us to make contacts and good impressions. Speeches wc gave in auditorium and plays in which we participated will help us to converse in an easy manner. We are bristling with the fundamentals of life. We have gained something else just as invaluable as scholarship in these passing years. We know how to associate with our fellow men. Without this fellowship we would probably be selfish, morbid, and misanthropic; but on the contrary, we are, to a great extent, tolerant and helpful. So, with the first step in our life in the shining past, we step through the magic mirror into the future with our destiny in our hands and our heads high with hope in anticipation of worlds to conquer.
