rreetings Xroin flic Class Presul ent FELLOW classmates. I know 1 speak for all of you when I say that we shall always look back upon our three years in Pawtucket High School as a worthwhile and happy experience. We shall remember our alma mater and not merely as a beautiful structure, modern in its facilities, and efficient in its organization—no. not even as the edifice one sees standing majestically above the Blackstone River. We shall look back to it as the place where we learned to live— the place where we found ourselves, since, for most of us. Pawtucket High School meant the last of formal education. From here on began the hard, troubled road which leads to the attainment of a full, rich life. As we progressed from class to class, we looked forward to getting back to our regular meetings in the classrooms, to renewing old friendships, and to making new friends. Our graduation appeared as the time all this would end. Now, because of this bond of friendship, our class of 1939 will. I am sure, have reunions which will enable us to re-live our school days. We have worked hard, and the success of many of our class activities has been great. We all know that the accomplishments of any school are governed by the attitude and spirit of the student body. The success of our activities is proof of the spirit and the loyalty of the class of '39. Our class of '39 has made its contribution to the life and achievement of Pawtucket Senior High School. Without being boastful. I think that we can challenge future classes to try to better our record. Much of the praise for developing such a fine class belongs to the teaching staff of our school. We are all indebted to our friends, the faculty, and we owe them much more than we can ever hope to repay. Now we really have come to the crossroads. “You to the left and I to the right. For the ways of man must sever. It will seem strange next September not to be all together again. Instead, we shall be facing the more sober realities of life, whether it be college or the problem of finding a job. I know that the class of '39 is a class that will be heard from. It is with deep gratitude that I thank you. on behalf of the officers of this class, for electing us to serve you. It is. indeed, an honor and privilege we shall never forget. The custom of having a class motto is a very old one and one that has been somewhat neglected of late. Still I think that there is much to be said for it. and I humbly propose to you the following: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Jack L. Rhodes
