VA LEDICTORY Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Education, Members of the Berlin High Faculty, Parents, Friends and Classmates: Now that we are leaving this place, full of happy memories for us, we, the class of 1936, wish to thank you for your tireless effort in our behalf. We hope that you have enjoyed this first graduation and find it worthy of your highest ideals. In these past years we have been shown a new optimistic aspect on life, an outlook which changes to fit itself for shifting conditions. Whether we go to college or enter the business world, this change will be evident. In grandfather’s day there was a system of apprenticeship which made necessary only a small amount of formal training. But now with the large corporations controlling business, it is well to attain a better and more specialized training. Business is conducted on a large scale so that each position takes one special phase of the whole corporation. Likewise, in professions there is entrance only through advanced training courses given in college. I am confident that each one has promised to adjust himself to these changes, so that he will not have to be content with the good or the better, but only with the best. We wish to pave new paths to higher successes to make our ultimate goals worthy of notice in today’s famous achievements. Many people say that all the great discoveries and inventions were made merely by chance, not by study. But they were accomplished only by a keen observation and application to commonplace in- cidents. If these people had been indifferent to opportunity they would have ignored their special calling. That is the reason fortune never seems to present itself to the indolent. So it must be with us. We will find many opportunities lying waiting for us, but we must join together all our strength of character and observation to take advantage of these brilliant fortunes. We must keep our minds centered on a single aspiration, a single goal. Some, possessing a great talent, seem to compose great chances for themselves. With their self-confidence and tolerant attitude toward a world of critics, they overcome envy and distrust to make a name for themselves. All of us must have a talent for practical sense — that sense which tells us what we should do best for our own welfare. Let us cultivate this feeling so that we may not become discouraged and lose our way in the world. Everyone in his lifetime meets these marvelous opportunities, yet there are only a few who are subtle enough to grasp them. They develop the germs of an idea until it becomes an ideal proposition. Some- times they labor steadily for years to reach their goal. This evening of graduation marks the end of that period in our lives which has been devoted to mould- ing our personalities. From now on the Past is dormant; the Future is a vague expanse of hopes and dreams. The Present is most vital to us; it is the turning point in our existence. Bui with such qualities as self-confidence, perseverance, and character, waiting at our command, we should make a grand suc- cess of our lives. So, classmates, I bid you farewell, confident that we have all resolved to grasp our opportunities, and to live up to our ideals. MONA PABKINSON
