Valedictory Rhoda Rial As we stand at the crossroads between the past and the future, tonight, little do we know what lies in store for us. We are here as a result of our past four years to determine what we have gained in these years and what we leave behind us. It is not only knowledge which we have gained that is of permanent value, but the lasting effect of these four years on our characters. Education has had its effect. Through endless efforts of our faculty and fellowfstudents, we have enlarged the field of our endeavor and gained some measure of independence. This should lead us on to victory for is it not that for which we are so willingly fighting? Furthermore, our characters have been developed through our attitudes. Will not these attitudes be a deciding factor in ultimate vicf tory or success? Our Bennett High School has stood in the past for Faithfulness, Honor, and Industry. The Best Is Yet To Be. If we have in any measure con' tributed to these three great principles, these four years have not been spent in vain. Our own Ralph Waldo Emerson has said, Make the most of yourself - for that is all there is of you. This implies duty, the duty of passing on these principles to the innumerable classes to follow. It also implies a more personal duty, that of beginning to mould our own characters. Even though this part of our lives is over, there is still much to be looked forward to in the future. And now, as a valedictory implies, the time has come to say our farewell, - our farewell to our school which we do not hesitate to call our own. This shall not be our final farewell if our school is first in our thoughts. No matter where we are, there shall always be time to gaze back at Bennett, its halls, its classes, and its people. Our deepest appreciation and gratitude shall be forever engraved upon its portals. In future deeds shall we ever be able to give evidence of that appreciation and gratitude? The future holds full control of this - and so, let this not be our final farewell - just Au Revoir or 'Till we meet again. Page I9 I I
