OVMLJM Parents teachers classmates and friends We trre graauatrng class of 1932 are deeply grateful to you for the ard comfort and protection you nave g ven us tnrougnout our school days It rs true tnat we have not always seemea appreciative rn fact we have often been resentful and reluctant as we have followed your rules regulations and requests However now rn retrospect we realrze now fortunate we have been rn having guidance of such worth Today we follow tomorrow we lead rs our class motto Wrth thrs motto rn mrnd we have trred to grasp all that we could from the leadership you have given as We realized we would be the leaders of tomorrow As freshmen rn hrgh school we felt we had ample trme Graduation seemed far away But the trme has passed swrftly and we are now at the door of graduation It is trme for us to stop following and begrn leadrng Are we ready? ln order to answer thrs all enveloping question let us dwell for a few mo ments on the qualities of a good leader I am sure we wrll find these qualities practically the same whether one plans to go on for higher education enter the armed forces work rn an office or become a day laborer Why do these varrous walks of lrfe require the same qualities of leadership? Because we are all crtrzens of the greatest democracy on thrs earth the United States of America One could list many qualrtres of fine leadership but rn my opinion loyalty sard and l quote rn part to the support of the Constitution let every American pledge hrs life hrs property and hrs sacred honor Let every man remember that to vrolate the law rs to trample on the blood of hrs fathers and to tear the Charter of hrs own and hrs children s lrberty let reverence for the Constrtutron be the political relrgron of the Nation and let the old and the young the rrch and the poor t re grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and condrtrons sacrrfrce unceasrngly upon rts altars tUnquoteJ May we rn our leadership always and ever follow these precepts It rs then and then only that we can have our small share rn makrng the World truly safe for democracy We must make those who follow us realrze the worth rn the words of Abraham Lincoln We must lead them down the straight path We will probably make mistakes but wrth the gurdrng hand of God upon us we can hope they wrll not be ones that can take the heart from Democracy We strll have much to learn but we are wrllrnq As our followrng must end so our leadrng must begrn We go wrth our heads hrgh and our hearts staunch fn conclusron parents teachers and friends you have done your part well now the resoonsrbrlrty lres wrthrn us It was yesterday We went into the dark tunnel groprng For knowledge as we followed those leadrng Now rt rs today And we emerge our goal there frndrng We turn back soon thrs trme to be leadrng Thank you Mary DuBry Orator 0 1 1 A -I F r -f V lf , ' 1 r ' l 1 .
