THE ORACLE 3 Valedictory Address Howard B. Stelle CLASSMATES: As we have played our part in this gigantic struggle of nations during the past year, so must we continue to do in the future and with far greater measure of devotion and sacrifice. We are looking for- ward to the time when, in fulfillment of our President’s ideals, the whole world shall be a decent piace in which to live, when democracy shall hold full sway and autocracy be banished, when war forever shall be done away. Not only must we set our faces against the advance of the Prussian army and the Prussian spirit, but we must say to all ideals which are unworthy of America, “Thou shalt not pass.”” May each one of us “fight the good fight”? and do his part in bringing about this New World.

2 THE ORACLE Salutatory Address Constance A. Durrant This commencement night marks the close of our High School life. Up to this time, our associations have been familiar to us. Now, we must go out into surroundings that are, as yet, unknown. Before we go, it is our pleasure to acknowledge the debt of gratitude that we owe. So, this evening, we wish to assure the people of Plainfield and the Board of Educa- tion, who carry out their wishes so well, that we feel deep appreciation for their sane attitude in not cutting down any of our school work in these war days, and even increasing our opportunities for service. Other countries that have sacrificed the interests of their schools on account of war conditions, are now realizing their mistake. ‘To our principal, Mr. Best, whose thought and interest have molded our High School career, we pledge our loyal friendship. Our only regret is that our Dr. Maxson is absent tonight because of ill health. “To him, who has given so much of himself for us, we send our love and our earnest hope for his speedy recovery. Others of our school circle are absent tonight, and to them—our Senior boys and all Plainfield High School boys “over there” or about to go over seas, we send our cordial greetings.
