To Christopher James Betz and the Class of 1993 Congratulations and Best Wishes! Love, Mom and Dad We found a bit of advice a father gave to his son when he was about to go out into the world. We don't know who wrote it, but we would like to claim it for you. You're starting, my boy, on life's journey. Along the grand highway of life, You meet with a thousand temptations. Each city with evil is rife. The world is a stage of excitement. There's danger wherever you go. But if you are tempted in weakness, Have courage, my boy, to say no. In courage alone lies your safety, When you the long journey begin Your trust in the heavenly Father, Will keep you unspotted from sin. Temptations will go on increasing As streams from a rivulet flow. But if you'd be true to your manhood, Have courage, my son, to say no. Be careful in choosing companions. Seek only the brave and the true. Stand by your friends when in trial, Not changing the old for the new. And when, by false friends you are tempted The taste of the wine cup to know With firmness, with patience, with kindness, Have courage, my boy, to say no. 190 Senior Advertisements
