YEAR BOOK 1936 19 President’s Address of Welcome Good evening, friends and parents- We, the members of the Class of 1936, extend to you a most cordial welcome to our Class Day exercises. We have spent four seemingly long years in school, striving to reach our goal— graduation. But now that we have reached this goal, we realize that these four years have been pleasant and much too short. We want to thank Mr. Phelps, Mr. Williams, the faculty, and the school committee for their cooperation and understanding. But our greatest thanks go to you, the towns- people, who have made this education possible. We hope that we shall reach the stand- ards you have set for us and shall be able to take our part in the community life as intel- ligent citizens. We hope that you will have an enjoyable evening with us tonight, and in opening these exercises I again say, “Welcome to all of you!” VINCENT GALLERANI Class Song The time has come when we must leave, To tread each step of life, To shoulder many burdens new, In future days of strife. But we’ll remember happy days, And in our minds we’ll hold, Each worth while hour at Agawam High That Thirty-six has told. We’re out to reach a certain height, Going forth in grand array, To start anew this path of life, With cares and joys each day. Our carefree hours are now gone by, And we must say “adieu,” But to our school of happiness, We’ll be forever true Music: Rita Donais Words: Pirscilla A. Stocker Class Poem Oh immortal hall from within whose walls We first glimpsed the labyrinth of knowledge, What windings veiled from us the light And stayed the Vision from our sight! With intense resolve of purpose clear And the kindly hand of guidance near, We saw dimness flee the brightening way That led us to the glory of this Day. Fame may come amidst us and lingering stay, Or forgetful, fail to heed us on its restless way, But as we play that splendid thing, Life’s Game, With us all these treasured memories will remain.
