You, who are our fathers and mothers, and you who are our teachers and friends, we are proud to greet you-to declare to you rejoicingly that we have successfully completed our high school education. And, in so doing, we feel that you are receiving our salutation as sincerely as we give it. ln a sense we are more than your sons and daughters. We are also the youth of America, who have Liberty as a mother and justice as a father. From them, even in our present youth, we are inheriting their great burdens. So it is the youth of America that greets you. ls it not hard for you to realize that we, who but recently sulked, or mayhap cried, because you would not let us go to a party on a school night that we are to be the leaders of this nation. lt is not easy for you to stretch your imagination to such an extent, however, it is even more difficult for us, whose minds are childish as you know, to grasp in a serious light these heavy responsibilities. Thus, when it is impressed on our minds that we are to be the millionaires, the politicians, and the leaders in every line of industry and thought, what must be our opinions? Seldom is a youth found who is able and willing to disclose the philosophy ol' his generation. A boy philosopher,-what an unusual person! Still, would it not be interesting to listen to him? Yes. Aris- totle himself would listen profoundly. We realize that we are going to he the future rulers of the world, and we promise that our every effort is going to be ex- pended in making it a more perfect world. We shall perhaps see the results. Every- one of us feels his pulse beat faster with proud zeal when he entertains thoughts of the future. This castle building seems fantastic beyond call for recognition: still, with certain limitations and explanations, it is the mental realm in which we live. In the first place, we, who will be the rulers of the world tomorrow, are going to go to college or university. We do not heed the cries of the demagogues, those mind poisoners, who so vehemen- ently impress on us the responsibilities that rest on our age, but who err in defin- ing the means whereby those duties must be met. lt is their hollow voice that draws so many out of the far reaching road ex- tending from the avenue called Training. on to the blind, twisted road of Luck. We accept the responsibilities handed down by the preceding generation, but not just yet. We wish to finish our training. We are going to close ourselves in a strong cocoon, and live a student's life. Study shall be our vocation, school social activ- ities, our pleasures. Listening to the tal- ent of the world shall be our recreation. Narrow-mindedness shall be a vice. Progress shall be secured by making the theoretical possible. Practicability shall bind us to the past. A general, ex- haustive mental training shall be the basis on which we shall build our life work. This is our attitude,-we who are Americans, one generation more American than our fathers. This is the ideal of our youthful philosophy. When we unfold these innermost, most sincere ideals to you, we feel that you listen to them patiently, that you respect them, and we know that you will aid us all that is in your power. Thus when you tell us of our responsibilities, we do not hesitate to give our hearty acceptance of them, But this is our reply: Nothing can influence us into taking up those du'ies until we have fitted ourselves for lhcm. Then, when the results of our ideal training are applied, we hope that you, our fathers and mothers, may test their nobility and take pride in us for being their source. This is the greeting the Class of l9l9 gives to you. This is the salutation of the Youth ot' America.
