SALUTATORY Parents, Teachers, Friends, and Classmates: With the utmost sincerity cn behalf of the class of 1949, I extend to you a cordial welcome to our commencement exerslses. We have met here tonight for the last time as students of high school. To you folks In the audience, this affair may 3eem to be only the passing of another graduating class. But to us It 1s the climax of four long years of ceaseless efforts, looking forward to this—our graduation night. Tc most students, grad- uation is an occasion of happiness and sorrow--happlness at being able to graduate and sorrow for leaving one's classmates. We think of all the things that we shall never do again like chewing gura in class and drawing our type of modern art all over the blackbeards. We have had a happy and successful past. Success consists of three things: well laid plans, courage, and persistent efforts in a definite direction. To begin well is the foundation and secret of success; to possess the courage and determination to succeed and succeed from the start--the3e are the qualities that cast their shadow over one's future.So now we turn to the future. In graduating we leave high school and enter life's school. This school is going to be much mere difficult than the one we are leaving this evening. There will be thousands of things a- head of ua waiting to be done and to be successful we must work hard and long. For myself and my fellow classmates, I wish to thank our parents and teachers for their kind assistance and cooperation in making this graduation possible and to extend once again a hearty welcome to those attending the commencement exercises here this evening.

CLASS PR0PHEC9 The other day I got to thinking about the Seniora of Brady, 8nd wondering what we would all be doing in the next ten years. All at once I could aee myself walking out in the yard of ray beautiful heme. Glad to be away from ray household duties and the children for awhile, I sat in ray favorite lawn chair. While I was sitting there, I saw a beautiful car coming down the road. I noticeu the young lady behind the wheel was ex- clusively dressed. As the car came closer I recognized my old classmate, Betty Armstrong. Hoping she was going to stop a few minutes, I was about to wave at her when she turned in my drive- way . Later as we were sitting out on the lawn havin; lunch, she told me she was home cn vacation from her exclusive dress shoppe in New York. .Ye started talking about our former classmates in the Brady Hi’h School. She said she had seen Donald Wesley several times. He had Inherited a million dollars and was just a man of lesiure living in an expensive penthouse in New York. Whlls we were talking. Loyal Deardortt came up and stopped to talk to us. He told us about the launching of his new auto- mobile factory. His company was raanufacturing a new car called The Tear-off. Loyal said he had had a card from Tom Coughlin that morning. Tom was making a tour of the states and had been everywhere ex- cept the New England states. The sun was gclng down behind the mountains as we said cur last good-bye, hoping the next time we met it would be a reunion of the class of 49.
