SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS E. Iiilson, Secretary: B. XVhite, Vresirlent: li. Hnllnrrl, Vice-I'1'c-sirlentg R. llover, 'l'reasurer PRE IDE T' ADDRESS Welcome to the Graduation Exercises of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-live ouiz YEARS ago as freshmen we started, what then seemed to us, ages of time to grow and to plan for the future. We are somewhat amazed to find ourselves here tonight looking back on those years and wondering if we have gained all that we should. Through these and the many previous years you, our parents and teachers, have helped us, pushed us, and even forced us until we have finally reached this moment, our graduation. We should like to offer our most humble thanks for all the help we have hadgfor the effort made to broaden our outlook on life, for the time spent in teaching us 1955 YEARBOOK cooperation, and for the example set in showing us good sportsmanship whether winning or losing. We know that these experiences will go with us throughout life. The years of learning have thus done much to prepare us to meet the changing world of today. The only way in which we can expect to capitalize on this training is to meet life head on, ridding ourselves of petty prejudices and trying to further the causes of justice and right. It must ever be in our minds that our country offers us freedom that can be attained nowhere else on earth. But to employ fully this freedom and opportunity we must continue to grow and develop our minds, our per- sonalities, and our understanding. May we never forget that we are NOT ON THE HEIGHTS BUT CLIMBING. Baucia Aviaiw WHITE 5
