■ic TO THE CLASS OF 1937 June 1st, 1937. Dear Friends: I appreciate this opportunity to say a final word to you who are about to graduate. The period which is so rapidly drawing to a close is probably the most important period of your entire lives. During the last four years you have made most of the important decisions that will govern your lives for the next forty or fifty years. You may not realize it now, but you have de- cided whether you are going to play the game according to the rules or break them when you can: to work for what you get or loaf along and hope for luck or influence; to support loyally or to criticize destructively. These are the attitudes that make up your personality. They are the toals with which you must work out your lives and they are a fundamental part of what you are and will be. My fondest hope is that each and every one of your class shall achieve a full degree of success. In order to do so, you must have five things: the good taste to choose worthy objectives: the common sense to meet daily problems and know yourselves: the courage to face the ordeals of life without flinch- ing: the persistence to stick to a well-chosen objective until the finish; and the imagination to create, to dream dreams, and cccasionally to rise above the work-a-day world and catch a glimpse of the future. You are concluding a wonderful year at Western, a year that has been full of opportunities to do and to be. All these marvelous chances have been made available through the self-denial and love of your parents. Your job was mainly to do and to be. The big change that you are facing today is that you must hereafter make available your own opportunities. Congratulations on your splendid Year Book and on the fine spirit of cooperation that has made it possible. . Yours truly,
