Till: KKMOIt Vi: K HOOK » Class Night Exercises Address of Welcome The Class of 1930 wishes to extend to you a most cordial welcome to their last evening of joy and frolic together as members of dear old Westerly High. To the many kind friends and supporters of our class through its somewhat tumultuous trip through High School life, we wish also to express our appreciation. Graduation is a time of many and varied emotions. The happiness and satisfaction of four years of work successfully completed; the excitement and thrill of Commencement We?k; the loneliness of friends going each his own way to whatever the future may hold in store; and the expectancy of a new life just beginning. We have worked for the past four years and we have formed friendships which will be life-long, and which will exert a powerful influence upon our later lives. During this time the calibre and metal of each one of us has been tried by the flame. We have learned the value of comradeship. But yet we are only on the margin of a great experience, the greatest experience, Life. Life may carry us in widely divergent paths; some of us will go on to prepare for the various arts and professions; other will leave school immediately for a career in the world of business or mechanics, but in any of these pursuits we will carry with us the memories of some of the happiest years of our lives. Tonight, therefore, let us put the gloomy side of graduation behind us and give ourselves entirely over to Mirth. We have scoured the nations in search of several little-known but very occult beings, who are going to prove Einstein’s theory of light and relativity first by turning the world back over a period of four years and indicating the outstanding events in the history of our illustrious class and second, by unfolding whatever the future may have in store for us. A noted lawyer has drawn up our last will and testament and this evening it is his solemn duty to break the seal of th's great document and proclaim it to all present. In deed “On With the Revelry” is our motto, and I will consequently give place to these noted seers that they may reveal to you the many marvelous deeds of the Class of 1930. —JACK TOBIN.
