Salutatory NSHIP OF TOMORROWN Friends: May I introduce you to the crew of the nSh1p of Tomorrow' the class of 'Sl. We have had four years together--some days were pleasant, some days were sad. In spite of the occasion- al trials, disappointments, and failures, these years have indeed been happy. We have arrived at the shore about to embark on our voyage of life. With mingled feelings of sadness and joy, we leave our friends, the students and teachers of Camden Frontier. While we regard Com encement as a goal which has been attained, in reality it is only a beginning--a step forward. Life has so far been a mixture of work and play. We have established a foundation on which to build our future. We have taken the prescribed courses of study in grade and high school. We have taken part as young people in the activities of the school as well as having pursued the class work. We have tried to conduct ourselves so that we have been accepted as a part of the community in which we reside. We are just normal, average, American young people: full of hope, full of enthusiasm, full of plans. From now on, life will be what we ourselves make it. We hope to make it worthwhile. Before embarking, we want to give thanks to those who have helped to bring us safely to this shore. Our thanks to the teachers who have guided us along the way with their patience, help, and understanding: our thanks to our pals of Camden Frontier for the many pleasant memories we share, our thanks to our parents, who with willing assistance and encouragement have kept our faith firm: our thanks to the school board who has made our education possible: and last but not least, our thanks to the numerous friends who have lent a helping hand along the way. Shipmates, our voyage lies ahead, our course is not yet set, but you will be safe in the hands of the captain of our sh1p,our Valedictorian, Rosemary Salmon. So on the seas of Life ---- sail on our nShip of Tomorrow.n --Joan Buehrer
