Just’ j think Avhat this school means to i you and us. ^hool pause a moment to reflect that where the student gains the knowledge, self-respect and rec ognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest alley. '\Ye can rightly refer to- our school as “Common” because it belongs to us all; it is ourserves working together. But- it is a most uncommon institution; it is relatively new. It is democracy’s greatest gift, to civilization. Have faith in G.od:,--faith in rrian, and faith in. yourself. These three hang together.
