The daily sentinel., 1905-05-26
SALUTATORY.

Ladies and Gentlemen: The class OF 1905
extends to you a most cordial welcome. We
greet the Board of Education, and wish to
thank them for the many helps and privi-
leges which they have granted us Professor
Bell. feel that we are especially honored
in having you our guest and speaker to-
night. It is with pleasure that we welcome
you as individual and as representative
of the University of Colorado.
Fitting words are wanting with which to
express our gratitude to the Faculty of the
High School. Through the four long, yet
pleasant years OF our preparation they have
helped us over the rough places and encour-
aged us when the end seemed nearer to fail
than success, In the class room and in
private the teachers have given more than
we could have asked. And now. as they see
us leaving this last night together
their emotions hardly be other than those
of pleasure; for they are either glad to be
rid of us as tresome idlers. proud to see
us step forth the product of their labor
The world will be the judge as to which
thouht is correct.
Tonight we pass from school life into life's
school. As part, straining our eyes in an
endeavor to look into the future. we must re-
member that the world is an impartial judge,
and to the victor grants the spoils. We shall
receive what we earn, and there is always
room at the top
But shall we live merely for ourselves?
As individuals we are responsible for the
welfare of our nation and of our fellow man.
We must not shirk this duty. There have
been and will be crises in the history of the
world. and who will be better fitted TO meet
them than we? There are places in the
world which are best filed by educated men
places of leadership; to these we aspire. not
with entirely selfish motives, but with sense
of obligation to our country.
Success must be earned; and who is there
who does not wish success, honor, or feel
ing that he has made place for himself?
The goal has not been reached. but we feel
that we are on the path which leads to
education.
Truly this is only Che commencement. Many
disappolntments will be met, and the strug-
gle against cold. stern world OF realities
will sometimes seem in vain; but how aptly
it has been said. Our greatest glory con-
sists not in never failing. but in rising every
time we fall Who does not admire the
spirit of the who will not acknowledge
defeat?
In the past We have worked hard, always
keeping in mind the future; and. although
we may not have made the most of our op-
portuuities, we feel that have done well
and merit success. Our equipment is strong
and well-htted to withstand the blows and
disappontments of the world Friends expect
much of us, and in future years we must
measure our success by what might have
been. Though failure may at times seem not
far distant we may still take courage in the
old proverb which says. In the scales of the
destinies, Drawn will never weigh so much as
BRAIN
And now bid you give especial attention
to him who has won the honor of this class,
and afterwards to the speaker of the evening.

the class. to address
Some of you doubtless heard, and we hope
with pleasure. the humor satire and sarcasm
which made up our Glass Day
The program tonight ends all of our High
School days. except the many sweet remem-
branees. To the following numbers the Glass
of 1906 bids you welcome.
