CI.ASS DAY ESSAYS. SA LUTATORV M RDA F. ( ROKK j CLASSMATES, Ladies and fientlemen: The class of ’06 extends to you a most cordial welcome. Within a day we will have reached that goal towards which we have lieen striving for four long1, yet seemingly short, years. To the more fortunate of our number this merely means leaving the d »ors of our High School to enter those of some chosen college; yet to the most of us it means the entering upon the greater lield of life which lies stretched out before us. We must cast awaymir school privileges and pleasures only to hold them within the firm grasp of our memories, and assume t bse graver burdens which beset us as we leave school. Our equipment is good. The class of ’Oti has the honor of being the first class to complete the four years course. We are also proud of the fact that we are completing the work since the school has been accredited. As our last efforts are now almost spent, we urge to greater effort those we leave behind, so that when another class shall leave the school they will leave it fully accredited. To- morrow' u'e leave school as undergraduates, but will return in future years as alumni to recount the never-to-be-forgotten lessons acquired on the athletic field and in the cjass room. The time is now at hand when it is necessary for us. as a class, to part, but we can defy those circumstances to arise which can weaken these ties of friendship so dearly formed by us during our school life. In future years in both prosperity and disaster, they can be but a source of the greatest pleasure and comfort to us. Let confidence and truth abide with us forevermore. We go forth as members of a class, to meet again when occasion offers, always ready to help one another, and always cherishing fondest memories of the old school days. f et today l e the brightest and happiest of our school life, and although nought six has but one more day to live, we will be of good cheer and enjoy these last few hours while we still have them with us. During tin exercises of tonight, I hid you listen to each member as he projects before us the various pictures of our high school career or prophesies into the far-distant future. And this night as we are gathered to be entertained with joke and satire, to chide one another, you must remember that good friendship and kindly feelings are the motives. We’ll sacrifice our own mistakes and follies to enjoy those of others. To such scenes the class of 06 bids its friends welcome.
