CC? assfc Oflflyfhs Pre ident' Address ln behalf of the Graduating Class of l9-ll, a great privilege is given to me to extend to you. teachers, parents, and friends, a sincere welcome to our Class Day Exer- cises. It is proper that we should have with us today those who have made these four years a success: our parents. who have sac- rificed to enable us to complete our courseg our teachers, who have given us knowledge which can not be nieasuredg and our many friends, who have rejoiced with us in our achievements and sympathized with us in our l fortunately few disappointments. Our four years at Classical High School have been a pleasant and profitable period. YVe have made friendships which we shall always cherish and treasure. We have taken part in activities which were valuable and stimulating. We have learned the mean- ing of school and of class spirit. All this we leave with regret. We do not know what is in store for us, but we do know that the future will be more serious and more exacting. We hope to be able to meet and solve the problems of that future, and cheerfully acknowledge our obligations to those who have contributed to our preparation for it. Much effort has been put into this program. in the wish that you will find it entertaining and enjoyable. Representatives of the class will give proof of the quality of the training which we have received here. Again may I greet you and thank you for your presence. Page Thirteen

YVe, too, were late for classes waiting for the elevator or following the ad- vice of some dignified senior whom we had believed a member of the faculty. And so, abashed but Wiser, we started our high school journey. That year was one of the most successful for Classical High athletics. However, one must admit that our part in that success was merely the member of feminine ucrushesn on those handsome athletes. Most novel of all this hero-worship was the undying affection which sprang up between Senior Eddie Staruck and our own Charlie Pemberton. Billy Sharry was the lone freshman who penetrated the ranks of the varsity teams by gaining a berth on the tennis team. New friendships, the customary Freshman pranks and follies and a new-born and perhaps unconscious appreciation of Classical's traditions and meaning made this year a happy one. By June we were well imbued with the Classical spirit and ready to assume our roles as the 4'Wise Foolsu. Page Fourteen
