meant to conquer and they conquer
ed.
Don't stop tonight on the first
round of the ladder. Have an aim
in view-and just now let that aim
be ga college education" There's
not boy or girl in this class who
can't go to college. There is no such
word as can't. Remember the words
of DIR. Mccullough to you just yes
terday: Mortgage everything ex-
cept your mind and your heart and
90 to college" The world needs ed
ucated men and women and the time
demands it. You must get and edu-
cation for
eve are living, we are dwelling
In grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime"
Be true to the ideals your school
has tried to breathe into your souls.
If YOU have even had base thought
or low aim, turn your back tonight
upon the memory of such thought.
Have a high aim. Believe that you
can do great things and you will 90
them. Should the way seem long
and the rocks be rugged climb all
the harder-remembering ever your
motto: Perseverance conquers all
things Don't give up what DO
Won think of man or woman who
has given up because the task was
too. hard. Nothing is worth winning
that is not. worth working for.
In the busy struggle OF getting an
education, Of making a name for
yourself don't forget that discour-
agements will come. These discour-
agements and disappointments come
to test you-to make you stronger.
"A weak person can stand but it takes
= strong man or woman to be
knocked down and rise again. Let
nothing discourage you-remember
this: sf Gods in His heaven, airs
right with the world"
Let your conscience be your guide
Be true to youhrself-yes, ''To thine
own self be true, and it must follow
as the night the day, thou canst not
then be false to any man." Speak no
ie-no never. Truth conquers vail
else.
Farewell then, you big boys and
girls are leaving the Prosperity high
school tonight. Cherish its memory
and meyer bring dishonor upon it's
record. Farewell. sMay Gods rich
est blessings be upon you. And keep
Won safe and keep you true"
