ITECHTO Valedictory l lfIjflOlJAY another cycle of time has been conipletedg another year has drawn to its close. Many have gone rapidly before it, but none has held the deep Slg'l'Ill'lC'2lllCC that this one brings. gl I gli . ,N ldwhlll! lt was but four short years ago that we, the class of 1927, first 'E?f3p,f5lll entered Teclmieal. And now, swift and sure, has come the tune for 'T our departure from this abode of our youthg for our entrance into that greater school of learning, Life. Happy, indeed, have been the days spent here and it is with a dull throb of regret that we view the coming' separation. Here we lived in miniature the life that we are now to live in full. We met success and were eongratulatedg we met defeat. and were eondoled. NVe strove hard in Scholastic and in athletic events to bring' honor to our class and to Tech. Sonietimes we succeeded and life seemed sweet and rich, but sometimes we failed and life seemed drab and colorless. This experience, too, served as a. preparation for the varying fortunes o lf the world, that bring both the warm glow of joy and the chill wind of sorrow. And so, grra.dua.lly, tlirongh the four years spent here, we have come to know more about the years stretching' ahead of us. During our high school days we have been in the midst of a host of friends, all eager to help us. Our teachers, aware of the many diilieulties of the road, were ever ready to smooth the way here, to lend assistance there. Our classmates, a.bsorbcd in the enthralling task of growth, were always eager to compare experiences, to ofter true friendships. So one and all lent their aid, if not actively, then by giving us the assurance that the whole school was wishing us success. What victories these friends have led us to, what obstacles they have helped us to surlnountl For four years they have guided us and ehee-red us on our way. Now comes the time when we must bid the-m farewell a11d try out our own streng'th. NVe know that, whatever the coming years bring, a gentle glow of gratitude will always fill our hearts at the ineniories of the companions of our youth. Yet ln'ig:llter than memories of friends, warmer than thoughts of ca,ret'ree days. will burn the flame of our devotion to our school. Even as we have here striven during' our school days to bring honor to 'l'echnica.l, so shall we, in the lone' raee of life, strive to keep its name fair and unbleniished. If we cannot add glory to the ln'ig'h.tness olf its fame, we can make nien honor it as the creator of real men and women. XVha,t could be higher praise than this? And now, filled with mingled happiness and regret, we must pass over the threshold of childhood into the work of men. Oh, you who follow us, guard as the rarest treasure the name of your school! And we who grasp like misers every fleeting hour, shall depart with the knowledge that as long as men revere :fidelity and virtue, so long will the clear rays from our Alma Mater shine out over the world. -Pauline Krueger, '27 Seventeen
