GRACE I d like to ask a blessing so in reverence bow your head As we thank our Father in heaven,not just for daily bread We thank Him for this evening, for the fellowship we ll share, For the joy of reminiscing and smiles that show we care; For health, for food prepared for us, for kindness, love—for friends. For all the joys that come to us that Thy great goodness sends. Father, we thank Thee. Amen. Written and given by Edith Michaud THE TOAST Harold Roos (Master of Ceremonies) And now a toast to the members of the Agawam Class of 1931s The greatest and best class ever. To our unexcelled, outstanding teachers who showed us the way and to every one of our very nice guests. God bless you all and may everyone live a long, healthy, happy life so that you will be with us in 1986. THE STC3RCMT0WN ADDRESS Five decades and two days ago, our nation brought forth from Agawam High School a new breed, conceived in superiority and dedi- cated to the proposition that we get together. Now we are engaged in a celebration, testing whether we members of the class of 1931, so conceived and so dedicated can endure. We ve met here in Storrowtown Village, a fine place for us to reunite. It s altogether fitting and proper that we should do this— but in a larger sense, we cannot celebrate without first greeting and welcoming our teachers, guests and classmates who have come from far and near to join in these festivities. The world will little note nor long remember what we have done in the past or what we do here tonight, but we will remember so many things and will be grateful. It is for us to be dedicated to the work of having fun. WS HERS RESOLVE that the work of the Committee shall not have been in vain and that all efforts by these people, for you people, shall be cherished for all time.
