We are indeed glad to have you present, but even if I had the tongue of an orator or the imagination of a poet, I should feel myself unable to express my innermost feelings. Still we are elated to have you, our teachers and friends, share our happiness. ' The outstanding objectives of education are altruistic. They are service, democracy, and brotherhood. To sacrifice and to labor in order to train one's powers so as to be able to serve humanity is a worthwhile motive. To put the financial income below the motive of service is the highest motive of education. This has been our aim during our four years of high school and our motto, We live to serve, has kept it uppermost in our minds. Some students seek for education in order that they may get on. The true students seek for knowledge that they may help on. That is the reason why we have spent four long years in this schoolg why we have striven to become an educated force, why we have sought training and education. And while we salute you, our teachers and benefactors, we also salute this institution that has he'ped us over the rough places, that has instilled in our minds and hearts sound moral principles, and that has made us eager to know and to learn. Before closing, I once more extend to you a most cordial welcome and to assure you of our never ceasing gratitude, welcome, thrice welcome, is the greeting from the class about to graduate from our high school. WILMA T. RYER. VALEDICTORY Members of the Faculty, Parents and Friends:- If today we go out from these halls filled with these lofty conceptions of the world's needs and of our duty to assist in supplying them, the credit belongs to you. You have not only taught us the proper attitude toward life, but have, at the same time, inspired and encouraged us, by word and deed. Your bright examples will never be forgotten. Wherever we may be called to toil for man's betterment, we shall be mindful of your vast influence on our lives. It is with profound reverence and gratitude, that we bid farewell to you--our benefactors, our professors and our friends. 1 1 Classmates! The hour has struck. The time for parting has arrived. Tonight we perform our last exercises as a class. Tomorrow we shall be scattered. But although we must separate, let us not separate in spirit. Let us often think of these high school days, and, while passing out into the arena, face our duties with hope and courage. To you all, our beloved friends, the Class of 1926 bids a last farewell, with our best wishes for your future, and with our sincere regret that our high school days h f . ave gone orever The world moves on-and still before , The future lies, with joys and grief, Let us not sigh, and wish for more, Remember,--Life, is, ah, so brief, And in the coming days and years Where'er the place our lot be cast, Let's strive to overcome our fears, By looking backward o'er the past! Farewell! ! ! CATHERINE M. SNYDER. O0'O-Ol-000'-le' klv94'00'WY'k9000 O0t

But in the Golden Age and at this time it is our desire to know what the stars reveal concerning our FUTURE. Eight to ten years from tonight some of us shall have attained SUCCESS while others will be diligently working to reach their goal. l By' aid of this telescope I shall try to foretell, for each of these graduates, the future that is hidden in the stars. Deliverance is in the stars! Ah! The first star I recognize shows Herbert Cutler, an English teacher in a large high school and in several years he will be a professor, perhaps in Harvard. And there is Frank Compochiaro a great engineer who has just returned from Europe a wealthy man after inheriting a large fortune from an uncle who has recently died abroad. Over there I see a very bright star, well if it isn't Catharine Snyder shining as brightly as ever. She has become a teacher of languages and cannot be excelled, as a Latin pedagogue in the whole state. That star, near Catharine, is Florence Relyea another successful teacher out West where she has planned to spend the rest of her life. Let's see what the stars in the East reveal. One of those stars shows George Thornton who has become a proprietor of a large Broadway picture house and has married a moving picture star. Another shows Eunice Beidelman who also lives in New York, where she is a well-known lawyeress. Still another star reveals Theresa Sweeney known both abroad and here as the greatest dress designer of the day. Many dresses which she designs are seen daily in the Fifth Avenue shops. Away oif there are two bright stars, one reveals that Albert Miller has just discovered a new gas and that he and Alfred Mauro have both become renowned professors in Chemistry. In that star, over to the right, I see large machines and there's one of our twenty-six boys. Why it's no one else but Peter Hackett, who has become a publisher of an Albany paper. There are so many stars that it takes time to distinguish our graduates but I'll find them all, for they shine more brightly than all others. Yes, there's another! It shows Ethel Grundhofer, a great celebrity in the art world. Her cartoons are in all the Chicago papers. Over there is Kathryn Dorrian who is a successful business woman and now holds a high position in'a bank in Saugerties. ' Let's see if I can't find some of the others over by Frank and Herbert. Why yes, Harriet Kniflin, who has become another successful business lady. She is living in New York and is engaged to be married. Oh! There's another star! It reveals that Dorothy Yahncke is teaching .French in France. What a bright star! It shows the headlines of a New York paper, it reads: Great Engineer and Inventor, N. Kramer, has invented new means of transportation. Why that must be Nelson, our president. It shows Joe Montano there, toog he has also become a famous engineer. E z Z 1 i 5 f 3. There's a star of another of our graduates, it's Adele Jeghers. It reveals her as a successful business lady also working in Saugerties. There's Eleanor Keifer, too. fContinued on page 401
