THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 If the citizens of the United States are willing to try to live up to the ideals set for them by their forefathers, if they are willing to work faithfully and untiringly to perfect their schools and help their children, they will finally have not only a heritage of ideals but of realities, and ' they will see the result of their labors in a cleaner, nobler, and more intelligent cit¬ izenry. Parents, Friends, and Members of the Faculty:— Through four years you have helped .us to make ourselves good and worthy citizens. We appreciate your interest and kindness in making it possible for us to obtain an education. Undergraduates:— In behalf of the Class of 1926 I extend sincere thanks to you for your co-operation in all our undertakings. Classmates:— We meet together to-night for the last time as undergraduates, for to-morrow we shall have joined the Alumni. We have worked together and played together, and in spite of the difficulties w r e have had many happy moments which we will live over often in the future. Until now our course has been planned for us but from to-night we shall take di¬ verse pathways and will live the lives we make for ourselves. Let us keep ever in our lives to noble deeds rather than to mere our lives to noble deeds rather than mere words. Elizabeth Jackson, ’26. -(o)- GRADUATION PROGRAM. 1. Invocation Rev. F. K.
