30 M-EMOIRS VALEDICTORY D This evening marks one ofthe most important events in' the: careerof the!Class of 1922. Yesterday we were members of the student body of Mansfield 'High Schoolg tosmorrow we: shall ,find ourselves alumni of that same school. Yet these ex-A ercises to-night mark rather a commencement' than a gradua- tion. Behind us lie only the passing pleasures and limited. experiences of high school life 5, before us, the broader field of' the world with its unlimited opportunities. 1 H I Parents, to you whose devotion and sacrifice have made pos-- sible this graduation to-night, .we find no words adequate to- express our appreciation. Yet we trust that the future may' bring you the only reward which as true parents you desire? 'that you may ,see realizezd in those who are graduated' to- night your most cherished hopes. I 4 V V 2 , V , Teachers of Mansfield High School, your conscientious andi perservering efforts have enabled us--to ,surmount the many' difficulties of the last four years., Your time andalabor so- willingly. given, your patience so often shown, your interest so-1 untiringly devoted tothe Class of 1922 have made it possible- for, us to reach this goal.

We- hope that you will continue to bring credit and honor to our' institution,,that the lofty ideals for which Mansfield High School has always stood may not only be maintained, but even be ,enhanced with each succeeding year. I H H I W . . Classmates, for four years we have worked .together andi played to-gether as members of the Class of 1922., From tof- night, no longer a united body but as individuals encouraged. and inspired by the spirit of our class, we go forth to meet' the world. Let us not look with regret upon this parting to-V night. May we take heart from our past achievements and with courage undertake the new tasks which. life holds in store for us. What ever our station in life, we must never' forget the words of our inspiring motto, Aim at the High- est. Perhaps the ideal therein expressed may never be at-A tained? Yet it will always be a source of inspiration leading us to that which is the ultimate object of all effort, the keynote- of all success-true happiness. The happy man is he who in spite of every obstacle, every discouragement, every adver-- sity strives fearlessly and persistently each day to surpassu himself..
