THE RIV ERSIDE 11 gOlOO0Ol0lOCOOIOCOOOOOOOOOOOOQ O 5 SALUTATORY 5 O O O 00900.000IOCOOOOIOOIOCOOOOOOOQ NO VICTORY WITHOUT LABOR Superintendent of Schools, School Committee, Members of Facufty, Pa--rents, and Frierdsz It is a great pleasure for me to ex- tend a hearty welcome to you, who have assembled here tonight to wit- ness these, our graduatioon exercises. In the months that have flown swiftly by and brought us to this crowning event, we have constantly been cheered and encouraged by the interest that you have manifested in our work. If we have accomplished any re- sults worth while, it is largely due to this constant incentive to effort and to the faithful and patient eforts of our teachers, superintendent, school committee, parents, and friends. We realize that we have only taken the first steps in the journey ton ard a complete education, but, if those first steps have taught us to walk with clear vision and to avoid many of the pitfalls that lie in the pathway of life we have accomplished much that will make our future progress easier, and laid the cornerstones for a successful life. Our graduation could be termed as a victory because each one has had their trials and diiiiculties to over- come. Two opposing parties or qual- ities are required to start any battle, and the only way to win that battle is by persevering and working faith- fully for your goal.

Washington labored many days and underwent severe hardships be- fore he saw his country victoriousg Lincoln experienced many trials and during the dark days of our great Civil War, he worked constantly for the preservation of the Union. With- out his dauntless courage and faith in God and mankind he could not have won the many battles raging against him. We have a remarkable example of no victory without labor in our present day. The arrival of Colonel Charles Lindberg in France marked a supreme victory for America. The faith that we have had in the deciding power of spiritual things strength- ened every circumstance in his jour- ney, by all his acts after landing, and by the electrical effect which ran like some religious emotion through a whole vast population. Lindberg was not commissioned by his government any more than Lafayette was by his. Both arrived at a critical time and set in motion those imponderable forces which escape the standards of the politician's mind. Who shall say but what they were God-sent messengers of help, smiling the defiance of their faith at an all tool skeptical world '? In the closing speech of Ambassa- dor Herrick, he said, It would be idle for me or any one else to estimate
