30 Our graaluah'ng Cfadded: ON Wednesday, April 12, the father of one of our grad- uates came to my office to show me the Purple Heotrt Decoration won by his son in mortal combat with our enemies. As I held this beautiful decoration in my hand, or decoration awarded only for valor and bloodshed in the defense of our Nation, I felt as if my friend to whom this symbol of courage had been awarded, were standing by me looking on. I thought to myself, This medal does not surprise me, since it is evidence of the qualities my friend exhibited while a student at this school. All of you who are graduating today will be challenged, either on the field of bottle or in Civilian life, to use your natural traits and the things you have learned to help you meet situa- tions which will require the full use of your best abilities. I am sure that, like my friend of the Purple Heart, you will overcome these difficulties successfully; you will solve your problems; you Will defend your country; you will live nobly. I extend my greetings to the graduating classes of January and June, 1944, and wish them high adventure, good success, and satisfactory living in a world at peace. Sincerely, CHARLES, H. WILLIAMS. PogeS 1944

Page 7 30 lAe Wem$erd 0f t4? jentA Cfadd: SEVERAL years ago I was asked to write a sonnet in honor of Benjamin Franklin's birthday. Today, as you leave school, I would like to remind you of his qualities. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN When first he walked these streets we know so well More than two lengthy centuries ago, There qu no dazzling sibyl to foretell The greatness and the wisdom he would know. All he possessed he Carried in his head, The will to work, the great desire to serve; This was the burning flame he ever ted With constant energy and no reserve. He never cried that mankind's work wcxs done, That all had been accomplished in the past: He fought the battle stoutly till he won And held the reins of vict'ry in his grasp. This is our work, who glory in his name, Toiuse the powers we have and feed the flame. And now I say farewell, hoping that we will have many reunions in the future. GERALD HAMM. 1944
