 THE ECHO »■ Salutatory Ladies and Gentlemen, Classmates and Teachers: The subject of our assembly this evening is in accordance with the formal and customary manner of a final leavetaking. It is an event greatly cherished and looked forward to by us all. W e have taken it as a goal supremely essential to a full realization of our high school life. Tonight, we have completed our course. The path of tomorrow appears dim and uncertain. W e must now strive for a greater end. Whether we shall utilize the benefits derived from our work here as a means to this end is a matter of individual decision. 1 am sure that each of us has cultivated. t«» some extent, ambitions for a college education. But what is mere ambition without strength of determination and resoluteness of purpose? I'nless we are able to master both of these essentials, our lot can be nothing short of failure. l or the road we must now travel is full of obstacles and stumbling blocks utterly impassable without some guidance. The log of our journey along this highway is scaled in a great lwok to which time alons holds the key. As we go forward we must ever rememlier that Simpson School cx| eets her graduates to possess a marked degree of Iroth honesty and truthfulness. W e can do well to establish with ourselves that most eminent spirit of the present age -altruism. It is the very foundation ot citizenship, and for that reason alone we should endeavor to attain it. By adherence to this principle. I feel that the class of '25 will always prove a worthy rival of any that has gone before us. W hat we have gained has come as the result of constant stimulation by our teachers. W hen we faltered, they came to our aid. In the space of four seemingly short years they have enabled us to acquire the elements of a secondary education. Our indebtedness to them is lieyond estimation. It can Ik repaid only through the application of our achievements to some worthy cause. It therefore remains our duty to strive for those things which may prove of greatest value to ourselves and our fellowman. Soon others will take our places: we shall Ik forgotten. But the memories of days spent here will remain firmly implanted in our hearts. In the name of the class of '25 I wish to welcome all to the exercises of this night. The members of this class, and of every class, together with the members of the faculty, invite you to co-operate with our school in its work— to inspect our lulls ami various facilities for service. We extend to you a most hearty welcome. Porter McLendon These brave Byrd boys beat battalions of hasc-lmrn babies braying about boldly bellowing for bostowment ot blue ribbons and buttons. In ball-basket, base, and big toe—be sure t« beware of these bullies. Believe me. they’ll be behind the bat lx: fore break of day, buddie. Page Thirty
