PRESENTATION SPEECH THE words ceremony and tradition frequently suggest each other, for one often goes with the other. Class Day at St. Margaret's is a ceremony which marks the completed achievements in the school career of one class and its individual members, yet each Class Day is unique because it is characterized by the personalities of the graduating seniors. But one of its most important moments is the traditional ceremony at the end in which the reluctantly departing class turns over to its immediate followers the symbols of seniorhood. Unbelievably for us, juniors, that climax in our school life and milestone in yours has come, and it is our turn to be the well-wishing donors. It is our class, nineteen thirty-eight, which actually gives yours, nineteen thirty-nine, the Senior Steps, the Senior Room, and the Senior House. But all the accumulated love for and pride in these possessions and all they stand for is entrusted to you, not by us alone but by every senior class before you. iIt is not in the nature of undue pride, but of knowing promise, that we assure you of this fact: an underclassman recognizes the concrete, outward meaning of these three possessions, but only a Senior can know that they are but tangible Cand therefore, very preciousj aspects of all the inward significance of senior- hood. What that vital significance is, juniors, is now yours to discover. We can but give you the possessions which you now have earned, and we do so gladly and confidently. isiiziniioia solute fBright Summer by Charles Vincentl With ready hearts and willing hands Thirty-eight started on its way.
