To those who strive daily is victory assured VVe must do things well and we must do many life-the class of men a11d women. Our preparation for this entrance has been such that we are capable of competing successfully in our various undertakings, for our townsmen and parents have been lavish with their time and their money that we might have the best training to be obtained. Our teachers have worked hard toward the same end, and expect to see, in the next few years, their expecta- tions in us fulfilled. In our schooling of the past twelve years we have learned many things be- sides those to be found in text-books. XVe have learned that to be capable is to ex- cel, and that to excel is to succeed. By our teachers and by our experience We have been taught that there is no time but today to do a necessary task, that not to do an undertaking as well as it can be done is failure, and that eventual suc- cess can be obtained only by trying to do a little more than is required. Existence is made up of competition. 1151.11lp-.qq1.p1n.1..1.,1...-.41 M19-. ll.-....m1m,- i things. VVe must try to enter many activ- ities and to do something positive for the uplift of our community, rather than merely to fulfill the requirements of a citi- zen. Wasted time is wasted life. If We can but learn to fill our time-all of our time -with constructive labors and construc- tive amusements, we need have no fear for the future. May we remember the words of Theodore Roosevelt :- I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the stren- uous life-the life of toil and effort, of labor and strifeg to preach the highest form of success, which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who, out of these, Wins the splendid ulti- mate triumph. And so let us strive with every nerve taut for that day when each one of us can look back and say I have lived well. - -.nH1up-.Miginl1q1-nail,ln-.gq1q.1.g....qn1I.1l.1 1
