And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and scarred with sin, Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd, Much like the old violin. A mess of pottage, a glass of wine, A game and he travels on He is going once, and going twice, He's Going and almost gone. But the Master comes, and the foolish crowd Never can quite understand The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought By the touch of the Master's hand. Right now, we as Americans are preparing to celebrate our 200th Birthday as a nation. Special festivities on a grand scale are being planned, but super-fireworks are not what the bicentennial of our nation calls for. This year 1975 should be a year of restoration and regeneration, a year to knit ourselves together, to relearn lessons from our past, to find out who we are and to assess the true sources of our strength. Most of all we need to reassess our values of trust and self-respect. Wish we could teach others the love lesson we have have learned. We can try--because we made it work--didn't we? We are the new SOUTHERNERS---so let's put into practice in the world what we 've learned through our schools. The Salutatory by Cheryl Ann Henson Here we stand united as the Senior Class of 1975. We thought we would never make it here but now we have and we have only just begun. Through the help of our parents, teachers and friends we have waded our way through childhood into maturity. We have achieved one of our first and major goals - - to complete 12 years of school. Now we stand ready and willing at life's door to be part of the answer and not part of the problem. As we move on toward college, work, or marriage we are preparing ourselves to be the leaders of our world. Through our 12 years of our lives together each Senior has played a vital role in what we are today. We have become very close as we have matured together. We have laughed together, danced together, acted silly and wise together, studied t th d ' ' ' oge er, argue together, and if ever there was sorrow everyone was there to help pick up the pieces. We have shared much and as we part to go our separate ways into our separate world we break away from each other Th r . e e will be no more walking down the hall full of smiling faces at DHS, no more counseling from our dear teachers, no more close and secret con t' l ' ' ' ' , versa ions at our ockers, and no more waiting until the period before to study for a test. No, now we have grown up and we are about to take a giant step into an unfamiliar world. There will be no one there to hold our hand, we must now stand on our own two feet. Life from now on will be what we make it. But after preparing for 18 years, and with the help of God and all our loved ones we are now ready to make this ste we . . . . . P are now ready to take responsibility in actions concerning our family state and country We are now ea t b 'y ' A l I I , , . ger o egln mto a life which offers many promises but as we begin we have memories that will remain with us throughout eternity . . . For as Barbara Streisand ' ' ' ' . says memories may be beautiful and gay, what's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget. So its the laughter we will remember, whatever we remember, for THE WAY WE WERE. And as we walk down the aisle tonight with smiles on our faces, a sense of accomplishment in our hearts and tears in our e es we will all r b THE y emem er WAY WE WERE and hopes to make the future THE WAY WE WANT IT TO BE. 153
