SALUTATORY Dear Friends, Teachers, and Classmates: Once Tennyson had in his heart and wrote: I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. So we are forced to turn to Tennyson's words, while emotions fill our hearts and the deep sentiments of our souls call out for words of expression. For tonight our little boat has come to rest at the inlet of a greater stream, the stream of our own inclinations. Now we pause for only a moment, to gain new strength and cour- age for the work ahead. Life's voyage passes over cataracts, swirling pools, through un- known channels and adverse currents with problems of a deeper pur- pose that often leaves us pondering over just what we have passed by and what awaits us beyond. We find it difficult to follow that laid course we must row through, for temptations beset that stream by which we are led to gently take our oars from the baffling path to turn down some road of ease, but a glittering light kindles our weary souls, gives us a glimpse of the short distance we have come and shows us how close the banks really are. It is a comfort to rest these few moments to meditate on the happy thoughts that the rippling of these waters brings us, through which we have rowed in happiness and disappointments, that now, can only be memories. But the larger stream of active life calls from beyond, yet we must linger a while together for the parting means the taking up of the oars alone. We must part from that little stream of happiness and peacefulness, where we had pulled together through the endless woes and petty disappointments of childhood. Dear parents and kind friends we feel that we cannot leave these calm waters, to use our own knowledge to elevate ourselves to greater opportunities, without thanking you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us, when We were but little children, able guardians and worthy craft to put into the port of accomplishment. These happy years with its hardships, have been wonderful to pass through only by your kind- ness. Our teachers have protected us against the narrow channels, sluggest waters, and dangerous currents on our upward journey. We realize had it not been for your watchful care our good vessel would surely have taken another course, checking our progress with sand bars and other barriers, with sad happenings, possibly wrecking our ship at the very beginning of our voyage. And we want you to know how much we appreciate your kind thoughtfulness before leaving for greater opportunities. Dear teachers we must express our earnest thanks to you. In the future as we are paddling our frail craft in new channels of our own choice, often we will turn back to memories of advice you gave us in pilotage, until we shall long for your shelter again. You have given us the compass and map and I am sure your eyes will follow us as we paddle our boats into the unknown waters ahead, and we will make a sincere effort to keep your resolutions and never permit the maize and the blue to sink to the depths below. And thus, classmates, our ship has weathered the storm and landed us at our destination. We have sailed the vessel in a bond of friend- ship, but now we must take our oars and row on alone. So let us for- ever make life's struggle a worth while effort, that this high school may be honored by our works and that her banners may never leave our mass.
