The President s Address Parents, Faculty, Board of Education, and Schoolmates: In behalf of the Senior Class of 1925 I wish to welcome you here this evening. I know it is you parents who are the most interested in this our final demonstration as a High School Class. We all realize this time how much your advice to study and stay in school has proven valuable. You have made numerous sacrifices in order that we might be able to complete our High School Courses. Members of the Faculty we now realize how much you have aided us. You have always been willing to help us in Scholastic difficulties as well as giving advice of a personal nature. You have proven yourselves to be true friends. When we first entered High School we were immature in the largest sense of the word. But by constantly coming into contact with instructors of your caliber we are leaving as young men and women capable of taking up our life’s work along with the citizens of a larger world. 1 wish to also extend a hearty welcome to you our friends who have helped us in many ways. You have backed every enterprise and assisted us much in times of need. It has been you, when the going was hard and rough, who have given us en- couragement and advice when we became discouraged and wanted to quit school. You have laughed at our grievances, called them petty and told us to keep on plug- ging, because the end to be reached by staying in school and working diligently was one worth while. Classmates, we have reached the end. We, as a Class will cease to exist after tonight. We have studied together and planned together and will face the op- position of a jealous world together. It is sad to think that soon we will be separated and no more shall enjoy the companionship of each other. Let us then face the unknown future as bravely and as earnestly as we have every other obstacle that has arisen before us. We enter the world ever determined to keep a stiff upper lip to the last. And let it never be said that any of the members of this class have ever in future years cast off the cloak of dignity which they wore so gracefully as Seniors. Therefore, as we look back into what now appears a misty past with all its great and wonderful achievements. And then peer into the future with all its yet more wonderful promises of greater and more glorious enterprises yet to come, with mighty and marvelous deeds awaiting our hands for the doing. We are fresh from the mint of our chosen High School and determine to put before you, the people, who have come to witness these exercises the best demonstration of the ability of the seven Honor Students of this class. Not only as a proof of what we have already accomplished, but as a proof that all promises that will be made in the fulfillment of our duties as citizens will always be of a high and noble char- acter. Therefore, I am indeed proud to speak words of welcome that carry with them from all my classmates a cordial and hearty welcome. Edward Kane 1 7
