 The time has come for us. the class of 1880, to make our farewells to Woodstock Academy and to all our friends to whom we owe so much. Although we are glad the goal Of graduation has been reached at last, this occasion is of necessity sad one.
 Now that we are about to gradu- ate. we have completed one step or our education and We must look for ward to the next. One of the things we have learned at Woodstock Is the importance of continuing our educa- tion in the future. Every possible influence has been brought to bear upon us to encourage this ambition, and help us decide upon our future vacations. The success of our careers will depend on the foundations we have laid during these four years. and any glory We may gain in the future will be due to our preparation here.
 If we expect success we must be true to the spirit of our class motto "Vincit qui laborat,' which means He who works conquers." It may be possible to be temporarily success but by little or no work, but this can not be genuine or permanent In the long run. any task is worth just the amount of work put into it. The def milton of conquer Is to win by over coming obstacles. and to work means to exert one's self mentally or phys ically for a purpose. Therefore fl IS evident that to conquer one must first remove the obstacles by hard work. This work cannot succeed unless it IS concentrated and whole hearted. This principle has been demonstrated to us again and again by the lives of great men. An outstanding example is Thomas Edison who has contrib uted so much to the comfort and hap piness of the world Edison began his career as a newsboy on a railroad and started his experiments in 6 small laboratory which he had fitted un i'm box car. Later on he obtain ed a position as a telegraph operator, but he also kept on working at his experiments. He had many obstacles to overcome but through persevering work he was victorious However success bv means of hard work is not limited Go geniuses like Thomas Ed ison: it is possible for everyone who desires if.
 As We come to the end of our high school life. we realize that it is to the trustees. teachers, fellow students. and friends of the school that we owe
