I would like to welcome you here tonight. We know that without your efforts we would nor be here tonight. We shall try to show you that your help was not given to a hope¬ less cause. During our days at school we have been preparing for that time when success will be ours. Aside from our classroom work we have learned that other things are pertinent to success, also. They come under four general headings which we shall call keys. The first key to success is personality. Human beings are like blades of grass. That is to say, of all the people living today, all those who lived yesterday, and all those that will live in the future, no two are, have been, or ever will be exactly alike. On the outside many people resemble each other. Physical features, personal habits, likes and dislikes have been duplicated many times. But the qualities that no two persons have alike are character and personality. We were all given by God that certain quality that makes us what we are. No matter what kind of personality we have, there is in it the means to help us succeed in this world. It may be a pleasing voice that leads to our happiness, or athletic ability, or even a bright smile. But no matter what it is we all have it in some form or other. Having it, however, is not enough. We must use it daily and develop it in order to succeed. It must be used to make friends, for they are essential to a normal, healthy.
