 LETTER FROM 7TV' ag, vU , ■7TV' '7YV Gov. Frank B. Willis mm STATE OF OHIO OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR April 1st, 1915. To the Senior Class of the Wapakoneta High School: You ask me to say a word to my young friends who grad- uate this year and it is a pleasure to respond. Commencement period is one of the happy events of a lifetime and while I should prefer to add to the pleasure of the occasion rather than to add to its seriousness with counsel, yet there is much that may be said along this line. Education and mental equip- ment are not the only requisites of success. More essential than either is application. Success comes only through earn- est endeavor. Following the line of the least resistance will result in small reward, while persistence and tireless effort coupled with initiative and self-reliance will inevitably bring triumph. Be good natured and congenial. Do your work with a smile. Another great factor is friendship. Choose friends who will be of help, but bear in mind that friendship must be mu- tual. To have good friends you must be a friend. Have con- fidence in your friends and win their confidence in you. You have the power but not the right to break down confidence your friends place in you. Patience is a virtue to be achieved. Do not expect all things to come your way at once. Keep on striving and never lose hope. Look back over your past. Recall the great num- ber of things over which vou worried that never occurred at all. Keep clean, mentally and otherwise, keep busy, keep posted, keep good company and keep faith. Keep close to the teachings of your childhood days. Some one has said “that he who keeps on good terms with himself and God, is safe.” Very truly your friend, (Page Three)
