19 3 4 MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL 19 3 4 Class Oration : Farewell Advice to the Class Bjj Marguerite Shaw And now may I offer a few simple words of advice? Always elevate your corporosity to an up- right verticality. Permit the phantasmagoria of your hidden ego to illuminate the optical organs of other people. Overflow with viva- cious exhilaration so tliat otlier mortals by apperception shall attest and asseverate that you are all there. Manifest your corporeal identity perpendicularly so that the surround- ing multitudes will be indoctrinated witli im- plicit confidence in the aforesaid verticality. Manipulate your pedal extremities Avith proper precision. Mobilate your anatomy so as to ambulate on the culmination of the acclivity of success. Unceasingly fix the rotund organs of your topmost extremity witli undeviating horizon- tality. Ruminate deeply, cherisliing in your mind a predilection for persistent veracity. Ad- ministrate your professional functions with all people homologously. Sermonize and ex- patiate with unfeigned sincerity. Be impar- tial to all your associates. Or, in other words, stand straight, M ' alk straight, look straight, think straight, speak straight, and live straight, to benefit both yourself and your country. Planting of the Ivy By Edwin B. Neill In behalf of the class of nineteen thirty- four I plant here today a living tribute, a symbol of our loyal appreciation of Avhat our school has done for us. Let us stop to consider why we chose ivy rather than some other living shrub. Although back in the days of Greek and Roman suprem- acy, ivy growing outside a building symbol- ized that wine was sold within, now and through all of the Christian era it has been a tradition that ivy is used and should be used to cover the walls of our institutions of learn- ing. It is especially appropriate that we use the living symbol of ivy on such an occasion as this. In this building we have had chances to learn and prepare ourselves for our lives ' work. Much of our information is still in the undeveloped state of this small vine ; as the ivy grows to cover and beaiitify many feet of these walls, so will the seeds of knowledge planted during our four years in Memorial High School expand to enrich our lives. Here we leave our living tribute. Years from now the spreading tendrils of this cling- ing vine will cover these walls, figuratively embracing all those Avho toil within. Then, when we chance to pass our Ahna Mater, may its ivy-entwined walls remind us that our courses here are the foundations of our knowl- edge and learning. May others, admiring our contribution to the beauty of this green-clad building, recall once more the loyalty and sincere gratitude of the class of nineteen thirty-four. •4281:
