cl Address of Welcome 'mends, Fathers, and Mothers, we have gathered here for the fifth commencement of this high school. It is you, townspeople, who have made it possible for us to graduate from this high school. You have given us this school, that we may become better citizens and countrymen; and that we may have a better knowledge of life. We have now reached the point where it is our turn to do something for you. It will be a difficult task for us to repay you. We can do so in part, by encouraging our brothers and sisters to make the most of the chance you have made possible for them in giving this school; we can do our part also by raising ourselves to that level which will show that what you have done for us here, has not been in vain. Juniors, and under-classmen, love and cherish this school. The world is crowded with commonplace people. Do you care to know where tomor- row’s pay is coming from? Do you wish, with the best of knowledge, to converse with the great men of the time? Certainly! You wish to reach the balcony of success. The town has given you a starting place in this school. Let your endeavors end on the topmost rung of the ladder of knowledge. We have succeeded here with your aid, people of Agawam. You have supported our teams, our plays, and our social events. You have endeared yourselves to us. Where would we be without your loyal support? This is a time of triumph for us, yet it is a sorrowful time. We must leave. We have been as birds, the school our nest, and the teachers our protectors; but now we must fly. We must leave behind the enjoyments of school life. In times of success and in times of sorrow, we shall surely recall the happy days spent in this school. How can we ever repay Mr. Phelps for his supervision, Mr. Williams for his steady guidance, and the faculty for their co-operation and earnest- ness? In short, we thank you all. We hope that you will enjoy this, our class day program. Friends, every senior is saying with me, “You Are Welcome!” George Reynolds [i ]
