Author Description

Excerpt from El Serrano, (the Mountaineer), 1926, Vol. 3 It is our fathers and mothers that we must first thank for being here tonight. You have sacrificed time, money, labor and many ambitions that we might carry out in the fullest extent your cherished ideal for us and although in the past we have many times come short of this ideal, yet we tonight do resolve to always give the very best in us in the struggle to attain these ideals. To our teachers we extend our sincerest gratitude. You also have given us much. And what we accomplished is due, in a large measure, to your labors. You, like a gardener, have trained us in the right way, pruned off our misguided efforts and kept the poisonous weeds of idleness and bad associates pulled up so that we would have the best chance to grow and develop into men and women who would fitly represent this school and the Master's cause. To our friends and schoolmates we must also give due credit and tonight we take this opportunity of thanking you. Many times when we were weary and disheartened you have given us a new inspiration that enabled us to push onward toward the attainment of our goal.
