(Continued from page 3J
We will leave here never more to be
supported by the United States Govern
ment, which has done so much for us.
It will be our duty to try to so live that
the repregpnt;itives of the government
who have been our instructors will point
to us with pride because we will be doing
what we have been trained to do.
We feel that the education that we
have received here, although a good one,
hardly prepares us to meet the world's
demands from a literary standpoint,
but we do not expect to enter the pro
fessions. The trades taught' here have
made us successful mechanics wage
earners so we go forth with confidence
in ourselves, a confidence that is
strengthened by your presence, dear
friends, at our commencement.
In closing, I would again welcome
you all here, and expre-s the hope that
our final exercises may meet your
approval. ,
