SALUTATORY Friends, the class of 1936 extends to you a most cordial welcome. With pleasure and with sadness, we approach the goal toward which we have been striving for four years. We are indebted to our parents and teachers who have given us guidance and inspiration. Now we must enter a larger field; we must make decisions for ourselves. For many of us the lessons learned in classrooms, on athletic field, and in school activities will be our only real capital. The time is at hand when we, as a class, must part. We may tread different paths, but we will always be bound by common bonds of friendship. We are one family, ready always to help each other, and always faithful to our Alma Mater. To me, the friendships formed in school are of greatest significance. When we realize that each parent, each teacher, each classmate, everyone who has made this day possible, is our friend—we are strengthened and encouraged to face the future with confidence. During our exercises today I bid you listen to our chosen representatives as they review the past, take part in the present, and peer into the distant future. Parents, teachers, friends—who do us the honor to be present today —we salute and welcome you. William Webster 18
