Fellow Students, Dear Teachers and Beloved Parents: This hour is one full of very deep and varied emotions for me. The most overpowering one for the moment is that of a vast pride in having been chosen for the honor of acting as our class valedictorian. Next in order, for the acuteness of its effect, is the emotion of fear; for I am only a poor little girl with a very real fear that as a speaker I will make a fizzle. But if I were suddenly struck dumb, it seems to me it would still be possible to express some of the pain it gives me to part with the loyal and loving fellow-worker the fighters of a three years' battle to fit ourselves for encountering the storms of life. These three years have at times been joyous, and at others, grave to us all. They have been very import ant years in that we have been going through a process of being moulded into the rough outlines of useful men and women. In this critical period I truly feel that we have enjoyed more than or dinary blessings in the personnel of our wise and sympathetic instructors. They have cheered us when we falter ed, and inspired us with hope and am bition to succeed to our greatest ca pacity. They have taught us unfalteringly, and have driven the lesson home that the chief attribute of success Is work. That without work the most brilliant must fail; but that with it, even the dullest can go far. We have now reached a time in our lives when we are popularly called "educated," but we will do well to re member the old motto: "Not finished but just begun." In the serious matters of life which we are now entering, we should, it seems to me have a reasonable amount of worldly ambition. We should each and all of us rise as high as we may, in the affairs of the world; but always remembering that we may be truly great if we so will it. If we let all of our actions be square and just with the world and love and serve our fellow men, we will have measured up to the highest standard of man hood and womanhood. Boys and girls, let us do something good with our lives in so doing bring happiness to others and to our selves as well. If we keep our minds clean, and hearts generous, we will have won the battle of life. Let us, too, stay as near and dear to each other as possible, in the years to come, and where possible, bearing one another's burdens, with out motto that of the Four Musketters "Each for one and one for all " TO ALL ZIONIST DISTRICT OR GANIZATIONS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS GREETING: We, the undersigned, at a meeting of the District Zionist Organization of Fort Worth, duly assembled have been authorized by all members present to draw up the following resolutions to D M B B B B 8 B B B B 8 8 B B 8 8 B B o B B B B B B 8 B 8 B B 1 s I Grand Opera in Fort Worth October 27, 28, 29 n by the Chicago Grand Opera Company CLEOFONTE CAMI'ANINI.
