Quintet Plans Concert Tour Tree Oration - By Kermit Ooerby Following are extracts from the tree oration delivered by Kermit Overby, at the annual Cap and Gown Day exercises. Ten million monuments to a great man! Ten million tributes, enduring and straight-growing, the people of these United States are dedicating to the memory of George Washington. As a second Continental Army, an army of tree planters, made up of young and old mobilized in every state and ham-let, is this year permanently recording that tho "Father of Our Country" will ever be "first in the hearts of his country-men." Particularly on this campus, our Al-ma Mater has admonished us to emu-late those virtues personified in the life of George Washington. Our four years spent at Concordia college makes it possible for us to appreciate to a much greater degree the positive character qualities of America's first president. A Fitting Significance What then would be more significant for the class of 1932 while it is today dedicating its future to the services of mankind than to join the throng in setting up a lasting testimonial to the one whom this country delights to honor. What greater monument could be more fittingly erected in honor of Washington than the tree that we the class of 1932 are planting here on the bicentennial observance of his birth-day. Symbolical not only of what the class has accomplished during the four years spent at Concordia college, this tree embodies the potential powers of each individual to successfully fill his place in life Inspired By Waslu'ngton While we are in such a manner con-sidering the "Father of Our Country," we are placing before us a man of such integrity, such honesty, such statesman-ship that we cannot but be inspired as we are now standing on life's threshold. Like Washington we are fortunate in having a firm foundation with roots set deep in Christian training. We have come from homes where faith in God and hunger for knowledge have been fundamental or we would not be wear-ing these caps and gowns today. Dur-ing the last four years we "have sought to enlarge these principles that we might have a fuller and richer life. . . . In this training that we have re-ceived, 'we have the foundation for the monument which the class of 1932 is erecting today in the planting of this tree. It is a foundation that has re-quired our entire lives and particular-ly these last four years to build. It is a foundation that has been shaped as Washington would have it. Like this tree, our roots have penetrated into a soil of spiritual, mental and physical training—the very principle of the man who held a place so great among his people that he is called "first in the hearts of his country-men." Note Complete in Foundation But no mounment is complete only in its foundation. Even this tree would be but a decayed stump within a very short time if the roots were all it had. A tree to grow, to live and to beautify the country-side must have that por- Graduation GIFTS CARDS "The Store of Friendly Personal Service." A. S. SIGURDSON, Owner tion you see here above the roots—that part sent on a sound foundation and which is ever reaching toward heaven and toward the source of light and life Such it is with the memorial we are erecting today for George Washington and the class of 1932. The foundation is complete, but the real monument, the monument that is to live and grow, the portion that reaches toward the heavens is yet to be made. Not one member of the class nor a part of it are alone able to construct this edifice. the cap and gown today falls the re-sponsibility of cutting and polishing Upon the shoulders of every wearer of the marble for that great memorial. Each one has his part to do as he takes his place in the world in order that there be no blemishes in the finished monument "Wo Pledge Our lives" It is our very lives, then, we are dedicating here as a living, growing monument. By its testimony we would like the class of 1932 to be remembered and in its erection we wish to honor George Washington. Whether t h a t memorial will be a monument to which our successors can look for inspiration and guidance, even as we are looking on the life of George Washington to-day; whether that monument will be a worthy tribute to the country's great statesman—now rests in the hands of every senior. Tho challenge is ours; are we going to answer with a willing-ness to give our utmost as did Wash-ington? The Father of Our Country has called; are we ready to stand for the principles that were his? The answer is YES! Our Viking blood surges; our fervor tingles. We have accepted the challenge. We have heard the call. We pledge our best that our individual personalities, like this tree, may be ever growing upward to-ward the heavens.

Hill St, Los Angeles, Calif. ^ M Following is the Class Oration delivered by Ann Reitan at the annual Cap and Gown Day exer-cises: It is blossom time. A few years ago, some seeds of hu-man life were planted. They took on life, sprouted, and grew. These young human plants have been nourished through the various stages of growth-through the grades and high school. Four years ago, they were transplanted to the Concordia field, where the soil is very fertile, and the light is extreme-ly radiant Tho guiding hands of the faculty have carefully cultivated them so that they might have a strong set of roots for their support Many of the ob-noxious weeds, which tended to ob-struct their growth and hide them from the light, have been cut away. They have been nourished by the knowledge from books and experience. The light —that eternal light of Jesus Christ— has shone on them continually and has made it possible for them to live and given them strength to withstand fu-ture storms. Blossom Time It is now blossom time and the JK< plants of the class of '32 are blooming We have chosen as our motto: "By giving we grow, By growing we live." In whatever fields of work we shall enter, whether they be great or small, wo shall grow in proportion to the amount of energy we put into them. "For we are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do and loads to lift Shun not the struggle; face it. 'Tis God's gift." Strive to Grow Some of us will receive better and more prominent positions than others, but we will be able to give the best that is in us to man and above all to God, if we enter the work for which we are suited. It may be in the minis-try, in the teaching profession, in the business world, or in some small posi-tion in which our efforts will be cen-tered, but in whatever kind of work it is, we can succeed if we will but strive to grow. Van Dyke has said: "Let me but find it in my heart to say When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, 'This is my work, my blessing, not my doom, Of all who live I am the one by whom This work can best be done in my own way.'" Give Best That Is In Us If we will give to our chosen pro-fession the best that is in us, we shall grow and by growing we shall be able to live a fuller and more complete life and make a greater contribution to mankind. But surely we should not give *olslv for the rewards of giving, but for the joy of giving. *Not what we give, but what we share, For the gift without the giver is bear." And what shall we give? Not merely material goods and material services to mankind, but such gifts as—kind words, beautiful thoughts,1 a smile, love —something to make some one happy. "And wisest is he in the whole wide land Of hoarding till bent and gray, For all you can hold in your cold dead hand Is what you have given away." What Will Be the Harvest? And when this blossom time is over, what kind of fruit will we young plants bear? From the light that has strength-ened us and the kind hands that have cultivated us, it seems that we should bear an abundance of perfect fruity The cultivation period is about over. Are we so sturdy that the weeds of the world will not crowd around us, diminish the amount of fruit we bear, and choke our living? Soon the har-vest time will come, the fruit will be gathered. It is a time of reckoning. Will we receive the judgment of the unproductive fig tree? May the har-vest of the class of 1932 be plenteous! We may interpret our motto in thU manner By God's greatest gift, his only Son, we may grow unto salvation, and thus by growing we live. Office Phone 778 Res. 2944 DR. H. D. ROSTAD .
