There is structure which every graduate from our school is building, young and old. rich and poor. each one for himself. It is called Character" and every act of our lives is a stone for this structure. If day by day ou are careful to bu id your lives with pure. upright deeds, at the end you will stand a fair temple. honored by God and man. But as one leak will sink ship and one flaw break a chain, so one mean, dishonorable act or word will forever leave it's ;m. press and work it's influence on your character. Then let the several deeds unite to form a day and one by one the days grow into noble years. and the years as they slowly pass will raise at last q beautiful edifce. enduring forever to your praise, and you will cherish with the ut most tenderness the memories of our school life.
