ri9 Sfce RETROSPECT 19 2 5 President's Address Ladies and Gentlemen:- It is my privilege and pleasure to bid all of you a hearty welcome to our graduating exercises. It is gratifying indeed to see so many of you present to aid and assist us in celebrating our initial victory in life. The many parents and friends here this evening show us conclusively that you recognize in us a potential strength, that you glory in our first achievement, that you by this manifested interest welcome us into the world of men and affairs, and upon us you place with confidence the noble heritage of protecting our country’s sacred traditions. Although unversed in affairs of the world, we are partially able to look into the hazy future and form a conception of the duties that will be our heritage. We will accept them and do our best to carry on in whatever sphere of common good our talents and abilities permit. It is the happy gift of the real American ever to turn his eyes upward and place his steps forward. Each generation strives for something the other did not have. The son tries to equal or excel his father for the glory it would give his name. Ladies and gentlemen, we are real” Americans. It is but fitting that we speak here of our gratitude for the many forces working harmoniously together that we might be permitted to reach this goal. First, we would mention our gratitude to our parents. Your tenderness and devotion, your interest and self-sacrifice, your infinite toleration of our childish follies and eccentricities have shown us that love is paramount, that love is life itself. Second, we would express our gratitude to our teachers. You have been ever indulgent; your councils have been wise and unselfish and your examples, lasting inspiration. Third, we would show our gratitude to our country. To her we raise our voice in praise and thanksgiving, and upon her altar we place our lives that we may uphold her ideals that all men are created free and equal” and are entitled to the blessing of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Fourth and last, we would declare our gratitude to our God. We have been blessed beyond conception with self sacrificing devotion, and with a country recognizing the fact that all powers come from God. We praise Him and in union say, Thy will be done.” Members of the class of ’25. we are assembled here as a class for the last time. We are at this moment students of H. H. S.. within a few fleeting moments we will be Alumni. The transformation is sudden, we will instantly become of boy and girl students, young men and young women, facing a new world. Let us face it with good cheer, and courage, let none of us forget the four happy years spent together in preparation for great and noble things. Let us ever bear in mind the teachings of our elders and never forget the fact that as the present is linked with the past, so the future is linked with the present. Ernrst Dyer, 26 Twenty
