Planting the Ivy.
Following the graduation exercises
the planting of the ivy took place at
the south end of the front of the
Academy. Edward Raymond Ewing
delivered the ivy Grafton as follows
CIassmates:-As we prepare to
leave this dear old school of ours, in
which We have spent four long, happy
years, and go out into the wide world,
we wish to leave with our school some
living memory. Today we plant this
ivy. For many years to come it will
live to symbolic our loyalty to alma
mater.
Just as the ivy begins its life, a ten
der little plant, so do we start on our
careers in the simplicity of youth. But
the ivy is destined to grow and
spread, increaS sing in beauty and use
fulness. So we trust it will be with
us. AS its roots thrust downward and
its branches upward, so are we always
to struggle toward the heights and
make ourselves and the world better
day by day. The ivy does not be-
come large and tall over night. 1t
takes years and years. So we must
not give up hope if we do not imrne-
diately attain full success. Remem-
Der that as this ivy grows but slowly
so it is only natural that we rise,
gradually and do our best as we look
forward, true Americans that we are,
over the years to our goals.
We must bear in mind that the
world expects more of US than of
those who have had fewer advan-
tages. and, although we cannot hope
with eagerness and courage press out
and reach our full possibilities in the
future.
The leaves Of the ivy, like ourselves,
serve many purposes. Sometimes
they cover up an ugly wall, making it
thickly on a trellis. they form pro-
lection from the heat of the midday
sun and comfort some weary person.
In winter, when one sees the ivy,
it looks dead and lifeless. But we
think of it as a glorious. green, thriv-
ing plant of the summer time Thus
when a passerby looks at this vine he
will not think solely of the plant but
of the class which planted it, and he
will think of its members as living
high, worthy, useful lives. such as the
world needs more than all else.
Today history is in the making as
never in past years. Educated men
and women, conscientious, sagacious,
and prudent, will be needed as never
before to fill places of trust in this
and other nations. Let us to the front.
