So long it hen they GJ lie ahead of us. so short-when we look hack upon them. XXI- have worked and laughed together: we have achieved, we have failed: we have met successes with humility and reverses with courage. l do not like to say that the time has come to hid farewell for we shall meet many times. The paths which we shall follow though far apart. lead hut to a single goal. You are knights in new and shining' armor clad. 'l'he light of the morning' sun falls upon your faces and shows the power that is yours. The winged horses of time. chafing restlessly will hear you away armed with the invulneralile shield of truth and the invincihle. two-edged sword of justice. Ulla fllliallenge ln the contacts of civilized society we distinguish two types of relationships. First. there are those prompted hy motives of private gain. Those are huilt upon the principle of quid pro quo , that is, one thing for another. They imply the concept of exchange or enlightened selfishness . But there is another type of relationship, as rare as it is precious. lt is difficult to know just what lo call this sort of relationship, one may call it love if that does not imply a tlahhy sentimentalism. It recalls thoughts of the sacrifices that our mothers often have made for us without complaint and which we so often have overlooked. Giving what we have. doing what we do, just because we wish to give a part of ourselves to others! XYhen once we understand this relationship, we have the key to the understanding of life itself. glfaiilq Qln 'Qnuilq Today, the world has huilt a gigantic culture hased upon the Quid pro quo relationship but your eyes look toward the dawning of a new day. ,X great opportunity lies before you! The world is moving toward a new era based upon love rather than on gain. You are the hope of the world! In your hands lies the coming of the new day! Fearlessly. challenge the sinister Dragon of Greed, protect the helpless. the weak. the young from selfish exploitation! XYhen the hour of victory is o'er. wrap your mantle about you and depart in silence and alone. The winged steed is champing at the hit and would he off. You. too, are impatient, eager to meet life's adventure. You are away like the sweep of the wind. The morning light strikes your shields and. as it reliects the hlue of the sky and the gold of the rising sun, they flash hack to me the words SQrv-511-C Intellegimtisu. lu. L rici' XX,xi,'r1triR.

seek Pm nfiuislieh Story N September 5. l9l8, as the very freshest of hlnniors, we first entered Normal and became conscious of the fact that we were the Class of l93O, although the only tie that united ns was the common feeling of strangeness. 'llwo years have passed since that day,-two years so filled with interesting work and glorious good times that they have seemed almost as months. ll is hard to realize that our own Commencement Day is here. XYe have formed friendships that will last. in many cases, as long as we live. Truly we are comrades grown strong in friendship's bonds. Let us hope that graduation will not destroy those bonds. NVe came to Normal with a common purpose: to prepare ourselves to teach: to learn that we might serve. Now we leave with the first portion of our aim partially accomplished,Hwe have learned a little. There is yet much that we must know,-we have only opened the book: but we leave with our purpose more clearly in mind. We are going out together to serve. conscious of some of the problems that lie ahead of us. and determined to meet them well. .X short while ago a well known and much loved New York minister said, Real teachers,-teachers who are putting themselves into their children, are doing the most important work that is being done in the world today. Think of that! We with our two years of training and perhaps ten times that amount of experience. are going into the most important work on earth-the romantic, inspiring. useful work of guiding' children into becoming the sort of men and women that the world needs. VVhat a challenge this is! XVhat possi- bilities for service, for personal development, for adventure, lic here. And this is to be our work! May we prove worthy of the responsibility. I, personally. shall never cease to regret that this has been but a two year course. lYe have worked so well together that it is hard to say good-bye. You have made my job so extremely easy that it seems queer for me to think of thanking' you for your cooperation . lt hasn't been at all like the usual cooperation between members and president, but rather the easy-going working together of good friends. However, l could not close this message without mentioning our indebted- ness to one of our friends. Mr. li. Curt lValther has been such a line friend, such an able counselor. that l don't really know how to express our appreciation for his invaluable help. Many times he has left far more important matters to help us solve our class problems. Ile has never failed to give us as much of his time as we wanted. and this in spite of the fact that he is a busy man. .Xlways cheerful-ready with a smile, a joke, and much good advice, he has been more than a teacher or an adviser: he has been an inspiration. And now, Commencement is here: we must part company. But as we scatter to the four corners of the State, let us not say, Good-bye , or even Xu revoir. l.et's just smile and say. So long! -Ions H.
