SALUTATORY Today we mark the beginning of the end. The end of which I speak is the conclu- sion of our days at Bennett High School. Up to now, we have been high school stu- dents striving toward graduation. At last our goal is in sight, soon we shall graduate. Much time and effort have been given to our preparation for living. It remains for us as alumni to persevere in the high ideals that Bennett has inculcated. Will the seniors of the class of 1959 make a worthy place for themselves in the world of the future? If we put to good use the education that has been made available to us, the an- swer to this important question is an emphatic Yes, Besides receiving a firm foundation in academic subjects, we have tried to find the keys to help us become upright citizens and honorable adults. Through our personal integrity, cooperation, sense of responsibility, and loyalty to God and America, the road should become straight and the destination bright. Allow me to tell you a bit about these halls so familiar to us. We came to Bennett four years ago as freshmen, apprehensive as we contemplated the journey ahead. However, a few short weeks made us native Bennettonians. Since then, We have come to know every nook and cranny of the school. We can glibly tell the location of the office, cafeteria, auditorium, or any other place one may wish to find. Yet our knowledge of Bennett includes more than its physical layout. We seniors have grown to respect our faculty, to value their decisions, and to cherish our school traditions, for Bennett's history is our own. Our paths are inextricably interwoven with those of Bennett. During the weeks which lie ahead, we shall come still closerto the heart of our school. We shall feel its very pulse beating in our ears. On the threshold of the un- known, we wish to thank our principal, Mr. Lloyd Miller, and our assistant princi- pal, Mr. Morris Raiken, for the confidence they have placed in us. We are grateful to our guidance counselors and our teachers for the preparation we have received to meet the challenge of life. We are also especially indebted to our parents for their encouragement and support. We wish to repay their love by striving to be living exemplars of the highest standards. As Mr. Miller's first graduating class at Bennett, we hope to fulfill his expecta- tions as well as our aspirations for the future. Although we are leaving Bennett shortly, on the character of each one of us our teachers have left a positive impres- sion that will affect our lives as adults. Looking ahead, we realize these weeks are more than the culmination of our high school life. More important, they conclude the beginning of our lives. Soon, we shall no longer be teenagers in the last stages of our childhood. Instead, before the rest of the world we shall stand as young adults on the brink of glorious adventure. Where the future leads we do not know. For some, the next step may be college, business, or the service of our country. We pray that when we step into the stream of life, steadfast in our ideals, we shall never lose the dreams and hopes of youth, but that, holding to right convictions, we shall become a credit to our parents, teachers, com- munity, and country.
