L Iliff. kiwi l Viduor, New York february 12, 1951 Dear Students: The day that this letter is written is in honor of a great American- Ahraham Lincoln. !ou are all well-versed in his many accomplishments which have earned for him the esteem in which he is held by every real American. The story ot his lite, too, is one that tits well the theme or your yearbook-Architecture in the building or character. Ot course, the greatest bit or building he eventually did was to keep this great country of ours united under one governmontg not half slave and half free. In addition to this, running throughout his lite, are countless incidents which reflect the character! of the man. For exam- ple. do you recall the letter he wrote to the woman in Boston who had lost five sons in the Civil Var! Or, the humility ,of the mah as he delivered the immortal words of the Gettysburg Address? I like the following quotation credited to Lincoln: 'It I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very beet I know how--the very best I sang and I aean to keep on doing so until the end. If the end. brgngs me out wrong, 10 angels evening I was right would make no duferincn' It is our tervent hope that your school has been of help in molding your characters for the 'bettsrg that as you look 'hack on your school days you may say of them-'They helped make or me a better person.' The following poem NOBILIT! by Alice Cary, I feel, really sums up everything we at school would like to say to each and every student but perhaps have not said adequately in the past: True worth is in being, not ssemingg In doing each day that goes by, Home little good.-not in dreaming Ot great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And in spite of the fancies of youth, Ther-e's nothing so klngly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. We cannot make bargains for blisses, Nor catch them like fishes in nets, And sometimes the thing our lite misses Helps more than the thing which it gets. For good lieth not in pursuing, Nor gaining or great nor ct smallg But just in the doing-and doing As we would be done by, is all. Sincerely yours, MIQBGMU MR. ALTON B.
