Presidentis Address of Vfelcome EAR Principal, Teachers, Parents, and Friends: We welcome the opportunity afforded us at this season to voice the sentiment that we feel today and have felt throughout our school course, namely, expressing to you, beloved parents, our gratitude and appreciation for the efforts you have made to bring about the realization of this Class Day. We are not unmindful of your sacrifices to give us this foundation, which we need as an incentive and stepping-stone to further knowledge. We hope that the years and sacrifices have not been in vaing that through devotion to Work and duty, we may in some small measure repay you. Too often, We pupils, have regard-ed you, our teachers, merely as instructors and have lost sight of your human interest and influence. It is only now, when our high school life is ending, that we 'begin to estimate your untiring efforts on our behalf, your ready help when needed, your sympathy and understanding when the paths to knowledge were beset with obstacles. Therefore, we also wish to thank you, who have been so considerable a factor in our success. Classmates, let us continue to build upon the foundation which the industry of our parents and teachers has made possible. Let us bear in mind that there is no royal road to learning, that the way to success is strewn with difficulties to be overcome, with disappointments to be endured. We may often have to prove that gaining victory from defeat is the test that tries us, but we may also have the satisfaction of knowing that we are not alone in our ambitions, that, The heights by great men, reach-cd and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Teachers, parents, and friends, the Class of 1929 cordially welcomes you to its Class Day exercises. f13l
