Tying these knots Of violet ribbon, tied
many a speculation as to what demands the
future will make upon you, and many an
other as to what you are taking away from
school that will be useful. Just two words
beg you to incribe on your banner that
hope you will carry to victory. The first
is, occupation. On this word hangs good
health, good spirits and most Of the virtues.
"Give yourself to learning something

body else small portion of the time So

ment or to regretting the things she'cannot
have. Choose, then, between the good and
the good for nothing. between occupation
and idleness. Help with all your might and
all your heart. Do for yourself the things
that somebody has done for you all these
years. Pay with interest the debt you owe
to your fathers and mothers; pay it in the
little attentions they like as we'll as you do.
These are gold coin Of everyday life.

which you are enlisting is our old watch
word, refinement. Put away from you
when you go out of here today the petty
suspicion and envy, the hateful insincerity
and double dealing that makes life hard for
everybody. Meet the world honestly,
simply and sincerely. Be what you want
people to think you are, and you will get at
the best qualities of those you deal with in
stead of the worst. Good taste is your only
guide, and good taste needs cultivation it is
rarely indigenous. urge you to these two

growth so only as you stand strong where
you are, will the next step be made clear.
So only shall you come to your true king
