1936 To you, our parents, we owe our deepest gratitude. We know you have sacrificed to give us the privileges we have enjoyed and now that graduation time has come we are justly proud of you and we believe you are of us. We hope in the years ahead to be able to prove to you that your sacrifices, as well as your hopes and aspirations for us were not in vain. To you, our teachers, we regret that the time has come for us to sa “Good-Bye.” Our fellowship has been enjoyable and we know that your inspiration and the lessons you have taught us will go throughout life. Classmates, we have come to the parting of the way. No longer will we go as a group, but as individuals. Whatever field we may choose, let us not forget to hold high the ideals of our dear B. H. S.

ANNUAL 193© 44 99 Valedictory Address BY SARA LOUISE BERKEBILE Classmates: 1 his is an important milestone in our experience towards which we have been striving twelve years. Thus far our path has been largely mapped out by others. We had to come up through the different grades. Our teachers were chosen for us by others. From now on we will more largely choose our own paths. A number of ways are open to us. We may be satisfied with our present attainments and become a “drifter” in society or we can establish new goals and struggle on to reach their greatest height. 1 he way we choose will determine our success or failure. All progress comes by hard work. We have a desire to work. Man must work to live unless he can persuade society to care for him. The most of us expect to work. In fact our parents probably began planning a career for us before we were born and we have grown up looking forward to the time when we will graduate from school and be able to go out and take up successfully some chosen line of work. We are facing conditions that are extremely trying. The larger percentage of those who go out from schools this commencement will be told there is no work waiting for them; that there are more people for every trade and profession now than there is work to be done. The doors of opportunity all seem to be closed and the latch string drawn inside or removed entirely. We must, classmates, keep a level head, a faith in ourselves and courage to face whatever confronts us. We may not find the work we want to do but we must not permit ourselves to get into a state of mind when we are content to do nothing. We can find something to do if we are anxious and willing. There is still room at the top. Opportunities are still present but it is going to take hard honest effort for those opportunities to be realized. If the opportunity is wasted, if we fritter our time away doing only what is required we will have a lot of explaining to do if the next generation complains of a ruined civilization. It is our duty to rebuild a threatened social order, to create new security, and to build new foundations of happiness. The challenge is ours, will we accept, To everyone there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul gropes the low. And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to and fro. But to everyone there openeth A high way and a low; And everyone decideth Which way his soul shall go. — 20 —
