So should our lives ever beg our walls ol' brick and stone, the eternal verities of truth, honor, and loyalty, the sources of our vigor, faith, hope, and charityg our progress through life, strong, steadfast, modest. . Our life-work lies before us. A life of the highest endeavor can alone repay the debt we owe to our Alma Mater. As vve go from these halls into the battle-tumult of the vvorld, vvhere our :nis- sion is to be achieved and our rank among men decided, she bids us take up the line of advance into the future, and press with earnest purpose to noblest aims. The opportunities for a liberal culture that have been extended to us in the twelve years that are past, are the seeds that are to germinate and ripen into deeds. Our mental and rnoral possibilities are just blooming and coming to first fruits. All nature is full of unknown things, In the vvords of Disracli, I bid you, KEEP YOUR STANDARD OF KNOWLEDGE HIGH: ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS, EXPECT GREAT THINGS, AND YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS! We turn with grateful hearts to the kind Uinother of us all, under whose guardianship our minds have expanded and rnatured, and under vvhose loenignant care we have been prepared to dis- charge the mission to which educated men and vvonuen are call- ed in this wonderful age. She stands with vivid personality, in all the fullness ol' intelliqence, affection and will. As long as these Walls re-echo the footsteps of the ambitious pressing on toward the future, she will be as she has ever been, ti true person, a very Alma Mater to her children. We go tearfully from these venerable walls and these familiar scenes. We are severing, perhaps forever, the sacred ties that bind us to one another and to the school that has guarded and guided us. We regret most keenly now that many duties have been ill- performed, and that great opportunities have gone unneeded into the irrevocable Past. E111 the hours of the Present are golden, and the recollection of the happy days that we have spent together will ever brighten our pathvvay as we press vvith confident and hope- ful proniise into the Future. Fellow Classmates, the Ivy our President has planted is sym- bolic of the past, the present and the future of our class, For the past lt is like in kind to that which has been planted beforeg nor :ire we different from the thousands who have gone through sim- ilar phrases of development in this school. For the present it humbly takes its place beside that closely Woven vvreath vvhich is symbolic of undying loveg a vvreath vvhose attachrnent increasing vvlth age serves as protection and ornament to that stately edifice to which it clings. its future, like ours, is uncertain but hopeful. Grounded in this hallovvcd soil, nourished and encouraged by the meniories and achievements of the past may this Ivy be a symbol of develop- nient for us and lor you-Georgetovvn School, may its grovvth be deeper, broader, higherg and may its associations become closer and stronger. And now, dear Georgetown High School, We cannot say farevvellg our relations with you are not severed. Looking to you as a source of inspiration, we shall as men and women of the fu- ture ernbody .in our lives friendship, beauty, and power in accord- ance with the artist in the picture, vvith the Ivy in Nature and vvith your teachings in the realities of life.

The Ivy Of '35 What si dainty plant is the ivy green With its leaves so crisp and cold What G sturdy plantl What a loyal plantl Wlisit 21 tender plant and bold. Wliy do we place you, olil ivy green, At the base ol these walls today, Next the hard hare bricks, in the bleak north wlnzl As we journey on our way? You are the vvarden. olrl ivy green, Ot' our memories fond and true, ln your tender leaves are the tender thoughts Oi' the days that vvill soon be through. Your sturdy arms will gather them in, And your tendrils strong entvvine them. As you joyously wzmvo your leaves of green And creep ulonq nenth their verdant sheen, You will carry this song forever and aye To clamoring hordes that will come this way. Old Georgetown I-liqh, vve love you. The Ivy Oration Friends and fellow students of the Georgetown High School, xve are assembled today for the purpose of carrying on a very beau- tiful Custoni that was inaugurated five years ago, vvhen the Class c-l' 1980 placed an ivy plant nt the base of the nevvly-laid corner- stone of this building. We stand in sublime connevtion with the Past and with the Fu- ture. Although the one is irrevocable and the other is unknown to us, wve hold the former by history: the latter we possess by an- ticipation anrl by hope. Through long centuries of song and story the ivy has been a syinbol of sentiments that are inherent in human nature. It signi- fies loyalty and never failing affectiong stendfastness-be the vveather fair or foul. ' You will find it trailing everyvvhereg on churches, schools, his- toric buildings, and even the graves of those vvhose mernory must be kept forever green. Let us look for a moment at this rare old plant. -Here are the tender light hearted leaves ol' youth-reaching out from the parent stemg vvaving joyously in the crisp air and kindly sunshineg ex- ploring their little world, as it were, before seeking the support of an sheltering vvall. Here are the leaves of n later day. Their green is of darker hue, They are sturdy and strong from holding fast to their retaining wall while gathering strength from the elements that surround tl1en1. And here is the parent stem-hearty and hule but flexible still. Creeping along in its silent way, it bears the nmture and the new, tlruxving strength frorn the old and secure. pug: fnrig-fiur
