Taking my arm, she led me to the street door, insisting that I accompany her home to talk over old times. Class Will By EpytHe M.

VeRPYyon AUR Ee B O2Osk-E 21 Salutatory By GERTRUDE H. SWEET In behalf of the Class of 1982, I wish to extend to the parents, teachers, and friends present tonight, a most cordial welcome and to express our appre- ciation of your interest in this, our last night to- gether as schoolmates—the sunset of our high school career, the dawn of our journey into Life. Before we start upon this journey, it is well for us to pause a moment to consider what our high school days have meant to us. They have been im- portant days—days in which we have been preparing ourselves for a greater task—namely, our life work. Each of u s has been fitted for one of two things: either to continue his education or to go directly to work. In either case, we have received excellent preparation. All of us, moreover, have gained a fuller under- standing of life. Because of the subjects which we have studied, and because of our associations with teachers and fellow students, our lives have been broadened anid enriched. We desire to seek the best in life and to live as fully as possible. Learning to make decisions, to find solutions to the everyday problems, to be honest and fair to ourselves as well as to others, has been a valuable part of our training. For four years we have been gaining know- ledge which will help us to understand the many difficulties which every American is facing today. We have been acquiring habits which will make us better citizens. We have learned to shoulder res- ponsibility and to follow instructions, both excellent habits, which will mean much to us in the days to come. And tonight, as we look upon Life, we must realize that if conditions are to change, it must be because we, as coming citizens, bear our share of responsibility in the task ahead. To our teachers, who have labored so patiently in our behalf, we desire to express our thanks. To- night they receive, as they have received in the past and as they shall receive in the future, our sincere gratitude. Our parents are responsible for much of our success. They have sacrificed much that we might continue to attend school, and that we might have time for study and for the enjoyment of the social life connected with high school. Because of this, we must not disappoint them. We must not permit their sacrifices to have been in vain. Although they ask for no reward beyond our earnest efforts to succeed, we would say to them in the sincerest way we know, “We thank you.” Friends, too, must not be forgotten, for they have been very helpful with their encouragement and sympathy. For their kindness we are very grateful. We appreciate it more than they can know. And now, once again, parents, teachers, and friends, I take great pleasure in welcoming you to these exercises. Your presence at our graduation will add immeasurably to our happy memories of this evening. Presentation of the Class Gift By Rate E. CHASE It has been the custom, at graduation, for the seniors of the Mansfield High School to present a class gift; and gladly, we, the Class of 1932, continue this tradition. Two preceding classes have chosen very fine autographed pictures of Calvin Coolidge and of Herbert Hoover. Knowing that it was not possible for us to give the photograph of another living president, we turn our minds to the “Father of Our Country.” Since we are commemorating this year the bicentenary of the birth of our first presi- dent, the appropriateness of this gift seemed appar- ent. In behalf of the Class of 19382, I present to the Mansfield High School this portrait of George Wash- ington.
