And now, teachers and principal, we appreciate your sympathetic inter- est, understanding attitude and the urge to go on. To you, parents, we are grateful for your leadership, guidance and sacrifice. The sacrifices were great and many, but we shall try never to let you regret having made them. In saying farewell to our undergraduates may we say that it is an honor to be a member of a senior class. For they possess dignity, poise and a higher level of mental achievement. Be sure you possess these qualities before attempting to occupy our responsible places. May you be our worthy successors. Our best advice to you is-don't try to bluff, don't waste time, but get all the knowledge you can. And now, members of the graduating class, we too must part. Although we must go separate ways after tonight, may we always be joined in heart and in spirit and in memories of our days at Armstrong. May good fortune attend us. As we are about to graduate from Armstrong, let us determine always to find time to learn something good. Again let us determine to make our future reflect credit upon the school, home and our country and may we never forget that it is our responsibility to so fashion our lives and conduct that with deepest appreciation we will be able to say that Armstrong did do much in preparing us for the real needs of life. Mr. Gregory, Members of the Faculty, Parents and Friends, the members of the February graduating class joyfully and sorrowfully say, Good-bye.

The class is happy to beegraduating at a period of reconversion rather than actual war. We are glad to leave Arm- strong at a time when there are so many new opportunities open for our young men and women in spite of the many problems that are seemingly ahead. Many of the students who have gone before us and some of these that are graduating with us never stop to think what a wealth of resources and opportunities this school offers-nor have they considered seriously these questions. What has Armstrong done for us in the way of intellectual develop- ment? How many more practical problems can we solve? ln other words, has Armstrong prepared us for the real needs of life or are we still lacking in those fundamental qualities that make for success? If we had thought about these questions long enough this is what might have been revealed. The courses Armstrong offer are very useful in themselves. They teach you to be familiar with the everyday tools of life. The tools that will enable you to move about in society without too much friction or conflicts with your fellowmen. This is what you learn in Armstrong shops. We learn to follow' instructions, read directions and interpret them. We learn to be exact, definite, thrifty, and to observe carefully. We learn how to evaluate material, choose wisely and, too, how to use our own judgment. In the classes in science we learn to apply ourselves diligently in the search for truth. We have gotten pleasure out of experimentation and we can appreciate a little more than others countless secrets of the atomic boom. Our study in Sociology has developed a better understanding of humanity. We have leamed not to blame people for all their reactions to situations, but rather to consider the conditions under which they live and their outlook on life. The world war has caused school authorities to stress more than ever the value of physical education as it has to do with nutrition, cleanliness, proper care of body and frequent medical examination and supervision. Sports have always held an important place in Armstrong's extra activities. They have taught us to appreciate fine performances on the field by our school. The careful training that our athletes have received has enabled them to secure positions and win for themselves recognition in the world of sports. The extra-curricular activities, which include all the various clubs, have been most valuable, for without them many of us would have had little opportunity to meet so large a number of the teachers and undereclassmates. Clubs have developed in us proper social attitude, initiative and the desire to become leaders. They have taken us out of our narrow group of friends and made us enjoy without discrimination the student body. F rom the faculty we learned that education and its enriched background of culture and study are essential to a successful career. From the faculty, too, we have learned dignity and value of punctuality. We cannot begin to tell of all the things we have learned in the different classes, but this we can say-from every class has come valuable experiences which will help us in our future struggles. l gyggggcggyGx-Jcvlggx-ocvfggxvoc-19Qxvocviggm-acvigggx-19 5 QIBCXQQZBCXQ I i'
