The VALEXIAX 1922 To the Class of 1922 It is with the same sincere solicitude which I have borne you during our associations in school that I shall follow you in your pilgrimages far and near, and because of that solicitude which I feel for your welfare, I present you with these counsels, trusting that in your moments of greatest sobriety ynu may meditate upon them. All of you are soon to leave the protection of the parental roof to embark upon ventures of your own. Do not completely sev er the home relations. Always remember and follow the counsels of your fathers and mothers. Your parents have thus far been your mornin? and evenim stars and -till when the light is dim and the way obscure they will point the way. Beware of get-rich-quick propositions and do not become intoxicated with the lure of gold. Remember that much of one ' s compensation lies in the consciousness of a task well done and having performed a real service to man. Seek those forms of amusement that are cultural and follow none to excess, for excessive pleasure is pain. Do not procrastinate, be industrious, for the world has need of willing workers. Do not be para ites, be producer-. Be optimistic, be good sports, cultivate a cheerful smile and a hearty handclasp; be democratic, be slow to condemn, be true Americans. Stop lor a breathing spell occasionally and before attempting a dangerous crossing look and 1. Take frequent inventories of yourselves and discard all worthless stocks on hand. Cultivate true friendships and you yourselves be a friend to man. H. M. JESSEE, Principal. listen
