PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Parents, Alumni, Faculty, and friends: AS we draw the final curtain signifying the end of our glorious high school career, a tide of memories floods over us. It seems but yesterday that we first entered the doors of Brattleboro High School: during these four years we have determined the path of life that we are to tread, and we have been developed to meet the many challenges which it presents. Today's graduate does not step into the world with the same feeling of optimism of the student of two or three decades ago. The murmurs of discontent that we heard when we entered our first year of high school have since then assumed the proportions of a serious major war. Still we are confident that, with the fine training we have received here, we can make the best of what life may offer us. We are the 69th class to graduate from Brattleboro High School, and the second to step out into the world from this new building. Many of us felt a few pangs of sentiment about leaving the old, ivy-clad edifice that we had come to know and love so wellg but after we had become acquainted with the new school, we welcomed it as a new friend, and became aware of the gratitude which we owed to the progressive and far-sighted people of this town. OW that we are at last to step over the threshold of life, a great variety of paths appears before us. Many of us will seek higher educationg others will look for immediate employment. But whatever road we choose, we have been given a good, solid background here that practically assures our success in life. Through the patient efforts of a splendid faculty, we have been prepared to meet any challenge which may present itself. And now, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the commencement exercises of 1953. Stephen Clay Plumb 61444 Sony Tune: Among My Souvenirs OW that we seniors are parting, Sadly we think of our past: A new life soon we'll be starting, Shadows of '53 are cast. CHORUS OUR high school years have gone, But thoughts still linger ong We cherish treasures rare among our memories. The friends we've held so dear, The ones who taught us here, The bonds that drew us near Live in our memories. WE left old scenes for new, We loved them both 'tis trueg They did our minds endue With hopes and inspirationg And in the future days, Our praise to her we'll raiseg We'll honor B. H. S. among our memories. Ruth Marion McClellan Dorothy Anne Hopkins Give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you.
