+- Cits Onttttjria Friends: Class paa tragram We welcome you to our Class Day. This is a happy day for us because it marks the end of our victorious battle for rudimentary learning; it is a sad one because we will soon sever the associations we have enjoyed here for four long years. Some of us will continue with our higher education, while others will begin immediately the struggle for a livelihood. May we ever keep fresh in our hearts the memories of C. C. II. S. We wish to express our gratitude to the parents who have made innumerable sacrifices in our behalf. But it is not with words alone that we can thank them. We have vet to prove by our actions that their dreams have not been in vain. To the faculty who have aided and encouraged us we owe a great debt. They have done much to prepare us for the life that is to come. And now as we stand on the threshold looking out over the years, we sincerely hope that we may perform creditably our duties in the future, and abide by the motto of the Class of ’31, “Live to learn, and learn to live.” •jjlrcsiiti'nt's WILMA KRIXG. Faculty, Parents, and Friends: Today is one of the saddest days that has come into the lives of the members of the Senior Class. We are now ending one of our greatest school careers, and for those who don’t attend college, it is the greatest. The members who go on to school will have a few more weapons to battle their way through life, while those that are ending their schooling today will be out into the game a quarter before the others. This is like the careers of two high school football stars who have just graduated. One is going to attend college and the other starts out playing professional ball. Maybe the one that attended college knows more about the game, but the one who gets out in it knows how it is being played. This makes them on the same level. Although today may be the saddest one for the seniors, it is the happiest, no doubt, for the parents, to whom we owe everything. Through your sacrifices, mothers and dads, you have made it possible for us to acquire something, which is longed for by many of the world today. That something, is an Education. I hope that as we go on through life that we think of the sacrifices you made for us, and that we make the same ones, or ones that are much better, to try to repay a debt to you which is a hundred times greater to us than any war debt. As I look out over the faces in the audience I pick out the ones who have helped the parents to mold our lives. Those faces belong to the faculty. Next to our mothers and fathers, it is you that have molded our lives to fit into the great machine of ‘Humanity’. The only way which we can ever repay you is by living the way you have taught us, and try to make you proud of us. Showing through our lives the success you have been in yours. The thing which is perhaps the hardest to say is to the members of the senior class. We have been together for four years; some of us have been together longer. During these four years, we have lost some of our original members but have picked up others to take their places. It would be much easier to do anything else than to say goodbye to you. It is probably goodbye for we won’t be in the same student body when we go on out of here. During these years we have spent here in this magnificent ‘House of Knowledge,’ we have been learning to live which composes the first part of our motto. Now as we go out into the world I hope we live; learning how things are carried on, and helping others. By this, upholding the other half of our motto: “Learn to Live and Live to Learn.” CHARLES ANDREWS. +■ —• 19 31 —- Page Twenty-two
