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.
