ADDRESS OF WELCOME (« Fathers, Mothers, and Friends of the class of 1933, we bid you welcome to the tenth commence- ment exercises of the Agawam High School. Through your help and co-operation, we have been able to complete four years of high school work, and have received the training which will make us better able to face the problems of the future. We thank you for your loyal support to our plays, athletics, and our social activities. Mere words cannot express our appreciation to Mr. Phelps, Mr. Williams, and the faculty for their untiring efforts in helping us to become better citizens of the community in which we live. For us this is a very illustrious occasion, but it is a sad one. We must leave the place where we have spent four years of happy school life, where we have had many friends, and many happy experiences together. Friends, every member of this class expresses with me his sincere thanks for what you have done for us. We bid you a hearty welcome, and hope you will enjoy our class day program. CLARK JONES. KNIGHTED Once we passed the threshold o’er From pagehood to a squire’s door. We learned to serve, be wise and kind. To better always our young minds. We’ve polished weapons, clear and bright, To cam the honored name of knight. As knights we now must take our stand Over a wild tempestuous land. Battles ’gainst want, hunger, pain, Will test our strength, and zeal amain. Our foes arc on land, in sea, in sky, But their only victors, arc you and 1. For the fortress of all high castles Charged by many a worthy vassal Hides success, the jewel of dreams. 1 ife, love, beauty, send their beams To guide the knights in reverie To clutch the gem eternally. EDNA RUST. THE ORATION 1 believe that the average person would give as the reasons for the existence of a high school the following — to educate the youth, so that they can get better jobs - to learn the Game of Grab — how to get while the getting is good. How foolish an answer! That attitude explains why ninety-five out of every hundred persons ultimately fail in life. It will take them nowhere except into trouble. Page Eighteen
