VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
Of MUa Rath Dteldns at Graduating
Exercises of Greenwood High
School, May 22d, 1917.
The night to which we have been
looking forward with so much eager
ness has at last come, and Were I to
hold up a calendar enumerating the
days in the life of each member of
this class, this day would bo a red
letter day for us all. Most of our
lives are so drab, so common place, so
mediocre, but let us hope that many
more red letter days are to come into
our lives—days perhaps unseen and
unnoticed by the world, but days the
recording angel will count, when we
have overcome a temptation, endured
with dogged patience and finished with
thoroughness an unpleasant task.
Tonight when I bid you dear super
intendent, dear teachers, dear fellow
students, dear trustees farewell, I can
not but be sad, I would drop a tear
for sorrow of parting—another for
the things we should have done and
did not, and for the things we did not
do and should have done. Beloved
teachers charge all these things not
to hardness of heart but to the
thoughtlessness and selfishness of the
capricious youth. Fellow students we
hate to tell you good bye, but as the
poet says "parting is such a sweet
We leavè you this farewell
message—study. The ideal of most
pupils with regard to going to school
It is better to have come and
loafed, than never to have come at all."

respect. Then your future career de

Contentment with mediocri y,
says Professor Lowell, is perhaps the
greatest danger that faces the stu

i e g e , Oregon, has compiled some ip
teresting statistics after some years
painstaking investigation. I will

20 years. Of the pupils who graduat

the bill board. Many a boy and girl
expects to get an education on the
same plan.
Class of 1917 life is out before us.
We regret to say good-bye.' We will
soon be scattered who knows where.
Most of us will attend college, some of
you boys will perhaps soon be. carry
ing Old Glory, "somewhere in France,"
and who can tell what events may
into our uneventful lives?
To you I leave this message: Be
come men and women of high ideals.
High ideals of patriotism, truth, just
ice, happiness, and of God. Idealism
dignifies poverty, glorifies work. The
woman of high ideals will be happier
in the woods with the yellow autumn
leaves blowing about her than she
would be to become the possessor of a
$40 hat. The man of ideals feels his
' J u -
come
soul satisfied by the beauty of the
tender green grass, the blooming
jhawthorne and the whistle of the
blackbird rather than by the pleasure
of the most luxurious club for men.
Wiht high ideals we can not be self
; g j, ( ignoble, commonplace, self cen
ter(jd se if. sa ti s fied. Much more do we
need ideals than ambitions. Ambi
tions destroy, they seek self alone. The
of idealism look not to what this
and woman next to me are doing
eyes
man
but to the North Star. So let us bid
farewell to the happy year that has
just passed with this little poem writ
ten by a young Mississippian:
Good bye, Old Year; the road I walked
with you
Was not all flowers, and yet I found
among
The thorns along the path a rose or
two
That made the way seem short, my
heart seem young,
And all the world a paradise to see.
Good bye, Old Year; though I have
loved you well
I would not keep you now; your work
is done.
They say that you are soaked with
blood; they tell
Of pestilence and strife, but I am one
For whom you held a rose. Enough
for me.

Subject of Speech by Miss Mary
Brown at Graduating Exercises
of Greenwood High School,
May 22d, 1917.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Teachers, Class
mates, Friends, All:
This is a wonderful time! How we
the class of 1917 have longed for it.
With what patience and kindness have
the Teachers led us on to this glad
some day. The City Commissioners,
the School Board and the good citizens
of Greenwood have made this day pos
sible. I am so glad that I am here
and have a part in it.
Our class has chosen Mississippi,
loved state, for its theme. Could
have chosen our gems of thought
from a more precious casket? and a
most precious gem has been given me
for my consideration. Greenwood, the
