There has been a very gratifying response to the call to be photographed for the year book. Most of the classes have responded well; and a good year book is now assured. We all know from experience that there is no profound pleasure to be derived from posing before the camera; and still less satisfaction in seeing ourselves as the camera did. Often there is a desire to contradict the adage that the camera tells the truth. Students, your response is and artists were born during it; but the general conception is somewhat misleading. There are twelve months of patriotism, twelve months in which each of us may show our worth thru being as big as we were intended to be. It is well to remember that patriotism does not consist of feeling pious, or of flying flags and making noise.

The greatest waste of life comes through the lack of ability or desire to prepare for the things we want. The man who does only that which he is paid for will never be paid for more than he does. If you would succeed, know that you are worth more than you are paid for. The greatest thief is the thief of happiness. The test of moral courage is to know what is right and then do it.
