1934 YEAR BOOK 19 President’s Welcome The members of the Class of ’34 extend a sincere welcome to all the parents and friends gathered here for the eleventh commencement exercises of the Agawam High School. We hope that you will enjoy with us our class night program. To you, parents and other citizens of the town, we are indebted for the privilege of having been able to attend a school of such high standing, created by you that we might learn how to become better members of the community. We shall try hard to prove that your efforts have not been in vain. Mere words cannot express our sincere gratitude toward Mr. Phelps, Mr. Williams, and to our faculty for their patient guidance and instruction. However, we appreciate all they have done for us and we hope that we shall be able to prove our- selves the citizens they have endeavored so hard to make us. Friends, once more we extend a hearty welcome and hope you will enjoy these, our class night exercises. RONALD JOHNSON Pioneers The pioneers of yesterday Had grim determination. For years they braved great dangers To build a mighty nation. Across the land long trails they blazed; The rushing streams they forded; For all their deeds of courage With freedom were rewarded. Today we still have trails to blaze; We still need hearts as brave. The trials we face in this great land Our country’s life must save. And now we start our journey, For time has swiftly flown.— “The past is gone forever, The future’s still our own.” JENNIE WHITE.
