recipient of the stored learning Of
all the ages aud the debt must be
paid Ia your community. State and
country by social service which will
make life worth the living Ia others. "
"lt is mol money, fame or advan-
tage which the High School graduate
should seek. but rather the glory of
tod and the uplifting of humanity.
iour example should excite others to
worthy purpose, noble ideals and So
cial ambitions. The lives of great
men and great women show that the
nobility ui service is the end and aim
oi education rather than the material
prosperity to which learning is too
often prosltuted."
