0- T yNm,m.5.,m VALEDICTORY In the business world of today are many men of eminence who are graduates of the Titusville High School. They have won for themselves a place of prominence and esteem and are the represen- tation of the High School in the world of affairs. These men and women uphold the ideals taught them in school which have helped gain for them their influence in this community and elsewhere. Now, it is incumbent upon us, the Class of '22, just starting out on its life career, to strive to join this company of fellow graduates, so that in after years we, too, may find members of our class who have recognition. During our four High School years, we trust we have strengthened our character, are better equipped to cope with the problems of the future. NNe have learned to be independent, will- ing workers, and earnest citizens of the United States. Only too soon will we be called on to take part in the govern- ment of our country. For this new field we must be true and loyal workers. Today, many more opportunities are open to High School graduates than ever before, especially to women. In the present day and age they are receiving recognition, and are proving their efficiency in all departments of activity. They are coming to be relied on more a11d more, bearing o11 their shoulders burdens, which their puritan mothers never dreamed of. And now, dear classmates, we must part. After four happy years, perhaps the happiest of our lives, we must leave behind our dear Alma Mater. Always will we think of her with love in our hearts and always will we think of our teachers who have done so much for us and yet who are not fully appreciated, and who have guided our lives and inspired us with the flaming desire to ever go Onward and Upward. In behalf of our class I desire to thank all who have made pos- sible the privileges which we have enjoyed. To the Teachers, the School Board, to our Superintendent, Mr. Pease, and to the citizens of Titusville, we express our gratitude. VVe trust that we fully appreciate the burden which the community bears in order that it may offer to the young people of Titusville all that a High School course can do for them. . DOROTHY FRANCIS.

cam ur. 19. 9, va ,M SALUTATGRY Dear Friends : It has fallen to my happy lot to bid you welcome to the Com- mencement exercises of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-two. During the years of our school life you have shared our sor- rows and our joys-encouraged us in all our difficulties-guided us through devious paths, and now that we have reached the goal of graduation-we want you to share in the festivities which crown our labors. - The four years we have spent in High School seem to have passed all too quickly. VVe realize at last that our Commencement day, to which we have looked forward so eagerly, is a day of mingled joy and sadness. NVe are happy because we have suc- cessfully completed our High School course-we are sad because the time has come for us to say good-bye-good-bye to teachers and classmates-good-bye to all the associations that make school days the happiest days of all. Though we are going out into the world to take up new re- sponsibilities, new cares that we have never known before, many and enchanting are the vistas of the future into which we gaze- and we start out with high hopes and eager hearts to apply the lessons we have learned in school to the problems of life. lNe realize that to-day there are more opportunities for well- trained, well-educated men and women than ever before and we hope we ahve some equipment for whatever struggles may come. Some of us will go to college, others will take up the burdens of the workaday world immediately. In a few years the fifty-four members of the Class of Twenty-two will probably be engaged in as many different activities. But for tonight we are the Class. of Nineteen Twenty-two and we have asked you to come here in or- der to show the appreciation we feel for all that you have done for us. i VVe hope you will enjoy our program. W'e hope that you will feel at its close that the Class of Nineteen Twenty-two is go- ing to fulfill your fondest expectations. To the citizens of Titusville, who have ever been ready to lend a helping hand in every school activityg to Mr. Pease, our Superintendentg to the School Board and to the members of the faculty who have been so untiring and so unseliish in their efforts in our behalfg to you, our parents, whose loving devotion has been and will always be our guiding star-we-extend a thriceihearty welcome. To one and all of you, we say, r VV e greet you, we salute youe And crown you with our welcome as with flowers. .-.MURIEL KERR. If TIG 29 GW! AW N 77' ' i 3
