The Tow e rs of As p i ration

We are trying t o build our li\·es just as the builders of this school have done. Our foundation must be a solid one, built on the desire for truth. If we arc insincere, we put " ·eak places into our foundation. There must be plenty of light , so we are gathering the be t books , the best map s. and the best pictures. We must have the warmth of good will and genero ity. Then there must be beauty. This means more than extravagant ornament; it mean s simple, pleasing manners, quiet , forceful \,·o rds and tones, so that when we speak we convince others.

Some pupils ha ve built more rapidly th an o ther and they have already begun their to,Hrs of aspiration. Their name s are on the honor roll.
