1464601144 of Welcame by JOHN LALLY PARENTS, TEACHERS, FRIENDS: It is both an honor and a privilege to extend to you a most sincere and cordial welcome to our Class Day Exercises. For the last few months members of the faculty and graduating class have been working diligently and conscientiously to prepare this program that the occasion might be a happy one for all. We have long anticipated this day and now that it has come we find that it has brought sadness as well as happiness. Happiness, because it marks the successful completion of a major portion of our formal education. Sadness, because it heralds the interruption, temporarily at least, of many happy associations. There is compensation for this in the knowledge that when one chapter in our lives is being closed, another is being opened to us. It is with deep feeling that we express our appreciation of the time, money, and effort spent in our behalf in order that we might receive a good education. It is with just pride and heartfelt grati- tude that we compare the privileges we have enjoyed with the lack of privileges in foreign countries today. The class of 1938 is not unmindful of the effort and sacrifice on the part of our parents, the school board, and our teachers to facilitate our educational journey. We take this opportunity to publicly and formally thank all of you. Three happy and eventful years ago we were almost complete strangers. Since then we have formed friendships that will endure the test of time and trial. Though hereafter many years may come between our meetings, we are sure that we will not forget the friendships we made in Holyoke High. After graduation some of us will be fortunate enough to go on to a higher school of education. Let those of us who do not have this opportunity keep these words in mind: When the last Greater Scorer Comes to mark against your name He marks not if you've won or lost But how you have played the game. Let us cherish the hopes and aims of the class of BSU-to be true Americans in the eyes of both God and our fellow men. Let the portals of sadness be closed. Let joy and happiness be the theme of these exercises. So, again I say to you one and all, Welcome!
