know the score and tell the truth.
tThey are the hope of the world. Girls
jand boys who carry the unblunted
swords of ten-to-seventeen. Not to die
|for the world, but to live for it, to
| think for it, to work for it; to keep
|sharp and unstained by rust, the
|splendid sword of the spirit. It is not
:only because you are yourselves, fine
gand true and upright, daring and free,
|but the things for which you stand,
|the world finds its hope in you.”

|man served a dessert course and cof
