V ALE DICTORI AN'S ADDRESS l ndies, lentlenien, and Fellow Schoolmates : Tonight, to nil a pjiea ranees, we shall close the doors of Hrady High School belli ml ns. We have f inn II y come to the parting of the ways. Which way each of ns takes, shall only lie learned in tIn future. Since so many of our friends here tonight have put a great deal of faith in us, we trust that the years to come will demonstrate to their satisfaction, as well as to our own, that the material we are made of is the kind of which they’ll he proud. We hope to leave our school with high ideals—ideals that will forever re- mind ns of our duty to our community, our state, and above all, our country. We will have a lofty conception as to what our country should l e, and use all our influence to bring her as close to that ideal as possible. Ky using our influence, we wish to have and hold the respect that you folks think is worthy of I rady citizens. In turn, we shall always uphold Bendy, the community where we've been given a wonderful opportunity. Now, since we cannot retreat liehiud the doors of the school we dread to leave liehiml us, we feel that we must enter the school of life with the same cheerfulness and willingness that we entered Hrady High. What we put into life depends upon us, as individuals, ho we expect to lie an asset or a liability ? Shall we do something worthy of the help of our fellow citizens, or shall We forever In a burden on society? Our hopes and ambitious are high. We do not expect to get everything for nothing, because by this time we’ve learned that we, ourselves, must accomplish many services worth while Indore we shall become an asset. First, we must know what it takes to lie a good American citizen. If we wish to lie established on an occupational level worthy of American citizenship, it is our duty to learn how to heroine such a member of our nation. We’ve learned that duty, to some extent at school and at home. We have been cooperative in the activities carried on there, and now, in such a school as that of life, it is certainly necessary that we are co-operative in citizen- ship, too. (Vo|K rution is essential Indore we even consider success. As Kinerson said: All are needed by each one. Nothing is good, when done alone.” so when we begin the road to success, and enter tin working world as citizens, we shall remember that it is to In built upon the effective «service of others. We shall travel at a moderate rate of spt»ed, with the determination that it will lead to success and not destruction.

We had to study way upstairs (a long way for a Preside), Aliens Hose, Mary Hose, Myrtel Powinan, Hazel Her land, Lyle IVnix, Knsscll Jeriiianson, Albert Schlepp and Clifford Curtis made up the Freshman class that year. Howard Ivathan and Chira Kropp started later, lmt neither one stuck it out through the year. We were not initiated, because the Sophomore class, consisting of three, wasn't big enough. Myrtel, Angus, Albert mid Kussell played on the basketball team. Albert had to ipiit in the spring to work in the field. The next September we again looked upon the stern countenance of Mr. Hudewitz. Albert started late and had to quit again in the spring. We were the supreme class, because at that time, this was only a two-year high school, tjuite a few parties were held to break the monotony of the evenings. We had a great time initiating the Freshmen—and we surely pitied them. After a seemingly short vacation, we came back to school to s e new teach- ers. The new teachers were Miss lilake and Mr. IVterson, as our principal. We hated to see Mr. Hudewitz leave, but we got along with Mr. Peterson very well. Kussell wouldn’t stay with us any longer, and we missed him a great deal. We had the honor of being the first Juniors in Kradv. Penial Leary came back with us again in Septemlier, Kathryn Ward, a girl from the oil fields, started that year. Paul Armstrong came back to finish high school. Pill Sten- jlien, a little eastern boy from Fargo, North Dakota, also started here. Hook keeping, the curse of our life, was given—my! lmt it was hard. In September, PL'S, we were again the honored” students. This year we were to lie the first graduates from the Prady High School. We were called tlie dignified Seniors. Pill was hack with ns again, lmt soon became tired of Prady, had to go “home to mamma,” taking one of our hoys, Fdgar Nash, with him. Mr. Peterson brought up a plan for a class paper and it was accepted by tlie class. We gave a few dances and a play which took up a big part of our time. We were graduated with one more than we started out with. Miss Hlake put 11s to a task of using our brains; that was memorizing in Public Speaking. We also took Fcononiics, Sociology, Pusiuess Knglisli, Knglisli Lit- erature and Physics. One more face graced a certain class. That was the cheer- ful one of Mr. Ilawlev, our Physics teacher. We thought he would he easy on ns, lmt 1 guess we were too sure, because lie became stricter and stricter every day. Now we feel that “Physics” is something that will remain long in our memory. We had a hard time getting our number up, lint we got it on tin chimney of the new building, liecnnse Mr. Peterson would not let ns put it on tlie new gym. The school board built a new building just in time for the first graduating class. We have tried our liest to help tiie people that have helped ns acquire an education, and we will try to make a success in the world. Lyi.e Penix, -Ml.

Hard, persist ent effort alone will conquer in the many battles we must fight, and the discouragements that all of ns are bound to meet. We hope to profit by other people’s experiences, and follow the example set before its by so many of onr friends, who have already met and compiered life’s problems. Our attainments in the last few years have been many. We’ve earned some of them by diligent study, but we are also deeply indebted to those whose in- fluences have helped ns. Oentlemeu of the Hoard of Trustees, we realize that your influence has done much to enable ns to stand here tonight, ready to take our place in a national life. We see that it is our duty to get something out of that life and make our- selves worthy citizens of your community. Von have a right to ask ns what we intend to get from a world of such wonderful promises; and we shall answer readily, that it will be all that we put into it. Nothing more can la expected and we feel confident that if we do our best, all of yon and all of ns will t e jierfecth satisfied with the results. Let ns not forget our instructors. We Iiojh that the teachers we’ve had will feel the same assurance that we appreciate their efforts. We know they’ve been discouraged at times, and many would have given up in despair at the seem- ingly hqpeless tasks before them. However, by their diligent work and js»r- severanee, they’ve helped ns to the gateway of an unknown future, much better than many could have done. We linjie to partly rew ard their efforts by emerging from the field—not vanquished, but victorious. We sincerely hojie that all of these people, the trustees, our friends, .Miss l lake, Mr. IVterson, and Mr. Hawley, w id accept our humble thanks now, and though our words cannot possibly convey tin full strength of our feeling ot gratitude, that feeling is there. To our friends of the lower chisses we leave these few parting words. We hope that you will profit by onr experiences. If we've done well, may you also do well. If we’ve taken the wrong path, then it will Ik much nastier for yon to take the right one. Now. we shall enter onr work knowing what is expected of ns, and know ing also that we are aide to meet those requirements. The world summons ns to aelinn. Lei as answer the call with a hearty “We'ii read ! IV»rewell. .M .xkv Kokk. -b.
