leave college. We have been long
ing forfthe time to come. when we
as a class Should say farewell. AZ q
Ser toiling and struggling we have
reached the longed for goal, but it
is3 not altogether as pleasant as we
sthot it would be. For many Of us,
our school days have come to an
8end, and harder struggles are now
aWailing US; but we must bear the
burdens and so forth into the world
like men and women.
We have not YET reached the top
LOT the ladder that we are. climbing.
There are vast heights yet to attain
and during the year or years spent
here at school, only one step on the
l1adder has been taken. BY perse-
|vering we hope to reach it's top in
the future. m..
We feel today as never before the
responsibility that rests upon US.
We feel it to be our duty to try to
make ourselves worthy Of the sac
rifices that have been made for US.
Our parents have labored hard in
order to be able to give us the very
best in life. They have sacrificed
much for our sake and, therefore,
have a right to expect something
from us in return. Many a brother
and sister has perhaps longed for
the opportunity that is ours, but we
have been given the chance, not out
of merit perhaps, but out of sheer
good fortune. TO our brothers and
sisters we owe much on account of
their sacrifices for us. They might
have been given our opportunities,
and, therefore, it behOOves us to
show by our lives that we appre-
ciato what they have done for us.
AS we now leave the college we
bring with US many memories
Most Of these memories are pleas
ant. As we think of the pleasant
hours spent together with our
| friends, a feeling of lonliness steals
over us which makes us long to live
|4those happy days over once more.
We grow sad when we think Of the
many friends and the teachers that
we must now leave, but we hope to
meet them all again in the future.
But the time flies and we must
say farewell. Kind friends: We can
not express our thankfulness to you
for the many pleasant hours we
/ have spent together, and for the
Ehelp that you have been to us dur
4 Ling our school days. We hope that
i the time will come when we can re-
I pay you for the kindness that you
have shown to US. Farewell.
4 Gentlemen Of the Board of Di-
rectors: We come before you to-
night to greet you and bid you oul
last farewell. What words can ex-
press the emotions that fill oul
hearts as we stand here for the las
time? What words can express oul
feelings when it becomes necessary
to part with the college SO dear tt
us and the men who have founded
and fostered her greatness? Dc
I not believe, when we speak our re.
/ grets at parting, that it is a mere
form of words. Do not believe tina
no feelings animate our speech
This is a fit time for retrospection
and theparting days evoke many
pleasant and golden memories O.
the time spent here at college. Yol
have personified yourself in all thu
influences thrown about us here
and our cheers and our loyalty arr
largely a tribute to what you have
done and are doing, May we have
your blessing? You shall have oul
living remembrance. With loving
appreciation of your kindness
Farewell. .. ..' ..-.. ~.~ I*.
| Members of the Faculty: How
can we voice our farewell to you
You. who have bound all to you b,
your kind help and good advice il
hours of need, and whose equal il
peculiar and varied scholarships W,
will never know again. We hav,
spent these important years of on
lives under your care; we hay,
learned we'll that the chief aim Q
an education is to dig out the un
derlying principles of knowledge
and not to endeavor to accumulat
mere knowledge for its own sake
I'VE have also learned that tru
wisdom humbles rather than ex
ats. We know that the education
that we have received has been
