Most of the troubles in the world come
from selfshness, because laborers are
robbed of their just dues and because
they in turn fail to do the tasks set be-
fore them because it is more pleasant to
soldier on the job. And in politics self
aggrandizement has been the policy of
most men.
But the motto, There are Others is
beginning to sway the. world. And it is
right that in controversies of religious,
social, commercial or political nature,
men should remember that there are
Others This is leading to a philosophy
of saving the world socially in order to
save the individual.
The thing to do is to get the right
viewpoint of life One may adopt the
worlds philosophy of life that has as its
motto, "You can be good and not go to
church" or IF you are hit, hit back,
or BE virtuous when there is something
to gain by it," or Views are constantly
changing nowadays. Therefore, don't
have any" 1t was such a philosophy
that caused the war Everything de-
ponds on whether you adopt this or an
other viewpoint Wrapped up in it lies
character and career. The time is at
hand to choose now and the preparation
given at Goddard has started the mem
bers of the class on the path to the right
philosophy.
Such viewpoint is that one must not
try to help himself, but to save and serve
the other fellow. The way one looks at
life will be the measure of his success
and so he admonished the graduates to
take part in the new world movements
like men and women.
Miss Lease and Edward Brush played
a delightful duet, "Valse Arabesque
ZACH. The class prophecy was deliv.
cred by Walton Brown, who told by the
aid of magic spectacles the deeds and
works of each member in 1925. The
valedictory, Victory" was given by
Hazel Weeks, who said that as house
depended on its foundation, so life de-
pended on its foundation or education.
They had struggled through two years
of work and play at Goddard to the final
goal and could feel that their foundation
was laid. Now they might take steps
to more final victory and to character
building. In looking for work persist
ence was to be their motto persistence
modelled after Robert Bruce, or Lincoln,
or the victorious allied armies. The vie
tory of the whole recently won Should
urge them on to great victories for the
individual.
Before awarding the diplomas, Prin-
cipal o. X. HOLSTER mentioned the good
work of the LAB students who have gone
out to do commercial work and urged
that in joining them the new graduates
use their preparation TO serve and help
people wherever they might go. With
the awarding OF the diplomas and the
benediction by Rev. s. G. Spear, the ex-
ercises came to close.
