Salutatory We, the graduating class of the Auburn Township High School of 1920, extend a hearty welcome to all those who have assembled here to witness our class day exercises. Especially do we wish to welcome our parents who have made so many sacrifices in order that we could graduate. Had it not been for their unending sacrifices many of us would not be here tonight looking into the great future lying ahead of us. When success and honor chances our way, we shall give the credit to those who made it possible for us to achieve success. To our teachers we will be eternally grateful for their untiring efforts in teaching us the fundamentals of education. Without their kindness and perseverance we feel sure that there would be less than fourteen pupils starting out, some to State Universities and others to Life’s University. To the members of the Board of Education we extend a sincere greeting. We shall always remember that it was also through their efforts that tonight was made possible. We are proud to say that we were the first Freshman class to enter the beautiful and well equipped building of the A. T. II. S. Again on behalf of the class of 1920, I bid you welcome. BEATRICE ALLEN. Valedictory Too soon, the end of our school career is at hand. The object for which we have been striving is at last achieved, and we, like those who have gone before us, now begin to assume the graver and more difficult duties of life. After leaving the school that we have all learned to love so well we shall go “Out of School Life, into Life’s School.” To our parents, teachers and Board of Education who have made gradua- tion possible—particularly our parents who have made a great many sacrifices in order that our graduation may be made possible, we extend our deepest regard and appreciation. To our Schoolmates who have shared our pleasures and helped us in our difficulties, we bid you good-bye. To you, my Classmates, the last words of farewell are addressed. We stand together for the last time. Each one of us must choose his own palh alone and achieve by diligent working the precious goal “Success.” Now remains but the final words of farewell. With fidelity Ave shall treasure the memory of our High School days. And noAv, in behalf of my class, I bid good-bye to all. OPIIEMIE SMITH. 21
