President's Address Schoolmates, parents, teachers, and friends, the class of 1924 is now making its exit from the Hemlock High School and tnost of us probably from the community as well. I, as president, find it my privi- lege to voice the sentiment of the class in our farewell. Would it not be interesting to know just how many class presidents in the towns and cities of the United States are delivering a similar address, either tonight or some night in the immediate future? And when you think of similar occasions in the Junes of 1923 and 1922 and all the Junes back to the first graduation from the first high school do you wonder that originality seems impossible? In fact, in taking leave of you I seem to be restricted to the use of four words. In simple English I may say good-bye or farewell, while in more elegant French it might be adieu or au-revoir. And so to avoid the ordinary I shall not consider this occasion as one which makes necessary a farewell. For every one believes that the mental and spiritual predominate over the physical, and separation is only a breaking of physical associations. We are assured that remem- brances of all you will never be wanting to us and we trust that we will live in your memories. By our schoolmates we shall always be remembered as pals and comrades, who shared joys and hardships during the happy irrespon- sible schooldays. Time which brings new happiness and new sorrow can only make these memories more treasured. “That old gang of mine’’ will ever be a phrase to awaken thoughts of times and places dear to us all. The word separation when used in regard to our parents, seems entirely out of place. Home will always be home. To the heart of a mother who is absent from her child, distance does not exist. Mother love, the most unselfish affection in the universe, reaches to the highest peaks of accomplishment and to the lowest depths of degradation. Father love though less celebrated by poets is never-the-less just as deep and far reaching. In the mind of a parent the son or daughter though middle aged never quite ceases to be thought of as “our baby”. This is not the attitude of the teacher toward the pupil; to him the pupil is a growing personality. Undoubtedly in the future our teachers will be extremely interested in watching our development. So far they have had a great part in making us what we are. It will bring them satisfaction to notice in our careers the marks of their influence. Although we have been of no extraordinary importance in the com- munity, yet we believe we hold no small place in the hearts of you our friends. We know that your memories will be filled with praise for our success and charity for our mistakes. May we ever have as sympa- thetic critics as you have been.
